Here's an interesting idea, this one is expensive but the idea is interesting. Putting a light weight coat that is waterproof and has fleece to use in a emergency if you fall in a lake or caught in a potential rainfall and everything gets soaked and the temps outside are cold and you need to dry off and warm up fast.

Sooo...that's a $120 bath robe?

Yeah, but look at the nifty way in which you can hang it!

Wiggy sleping bag or quilt, works when wet.

It needs more pockets for our stuff.

I understand where you're coming from, Falcon, but I would also probably look for a hooded fleece robe at a discount rather than shell out $120 for this niche market surf/scuba robe. Interesting design, though. I wonder where else you can get fleece with the poly flouro razmattaz membrane?

They work very well and are nice and warm.
Water transpires(?) thru the fleece to the waterproof shell then drip down the shell and away from the wearer.
Mine cost $49.95 if you look around you can find the same thing
for much less than 120.00

Sure it's the exact brand? Their website states $119 (I rounded it up) but retailers sell it for $20?

Their website also states "developed in 2003 by husband and wife............."

Looks like a hood robe fleece jacket to me. If its high end then its probably worth the money.


Wonder if the model is provided as the "warming" unit?

I'm looking as something similar. A friend of mine is a very good seamstress, and she specialized in period wear- I've talked with her a few times about making a couple of cloaks for me, including a one made from wool blanket, and a second one made from a couple unused but tanned deer hides I have a buy option on. Yes, it is kinda old school, but...

Am I the only one who's first thought was "I didn't know Falcon was a girl" when they say the picture?
