Gill Aqua Parka
Warmth: 4
Ease of change: 4
Compactness: 4
Something different from marine brand Gill, a robe that is not only waterproof, breathable but also stretchy. The fully waterproof shell has a stitch-free, welded seam construction.
The fabric feels slightly rubbery but definitely keeps the water and wind out. It has a 4-way stretch to help when you are struggling to get changed in the wind! Zipped outer pockets, large internal stow pocket and zipped inner pocket. Quality YKK zipper and soft fleece lining make this a good compact robe choice.
Available on the Outdoor Swimmer Shop or at gillmarine.com
