For me the Surf-Fur parka is top notch. Love the reach through pockets. let's you change underneath and breathability keeps you warm be not clamy.
 
I can say that the "boat coat" that diver's direct is marketing should be labeled a lined windbreaker. I have to wear it and a sweatjacket at work to stay warm -- which is weird when i have to step out i'm broiling since it's usually in the 80 or more range
 
I like my DiveGear coat. Plenty warm on the boat hhere in NJ in the spring, fall, and winter... as well as up at Dutch Springs (quarry). Fits well over a drysuit, too.
 
I just got my truwest coat in.

While I like it, I'm not a fan of the elastic cuffs, as they get uncomfortable when strecthed around my dry glove rings. A Velcro Cuff would be a much better option.
 
I love my Surf-fur parka. Its more than just a water proof coat. The water proof membrane is sandwiched between two layers of fleece. It has changing pockets to help you get out of your wet suit. I love the fact that it is reversible, this allows me to warm up between dives. I just put on over my wet suit and warm up and when I am done diving I turn it inside out and drive home.I don't get my car seats wet and when I get home I can throw it in the wash/dryer. My son and his team mates use it during their surf team competition. They really appreciate staying warm between their heats and then reversing the parka after they take off their wet suit. I just got back about an hour ago from the anual Chrstmas boat parade at the harbor. My whole family had their Surf-furs on and we where nice and toasty. I noticed that I stayed warm but I don't sweat in it. I found out that it is because the PTFE membrane thats bonded between the fleece actually let the steam of your body escape but it will not let the water droplets in from the out side. The double layer of fleece gives it the superior warming properties, and thus I am truly impressed by this Parka and I would highly recommend you enquire more info on this amazing boat coat!

Big Plus on the Surf-fur boat coats. I used mine all last winter during cold training dives including night dives. It really rocks for changing out of you dive gear and into dry clothes when there is nowhere to change and while everyone else is jumping around from the cold while they are changing using wet towels to change in your toasty warm the whole time.

Add me to the list of glowing surf-fur reviews. I LOVE that coat. The reach through pockets are awesome for the reasons already mentioned. It dries surprisingly fast, and it's very comfortable
 
I am on my third Warm Wind ...

I had one I used for about 15 years that finally had to be tossed about 10 years ago. I immediately replaced it with another Warm Wind, which I currently use.

I also have a Warm wind jacket which is around 20 perhaps 25 years old which I have used on occasion when the temperature drops to 65 here in CenCal
