Are they all 100+ dollars? Where online is it less?

Mods, feel free to move post if there's a better place for it.(not that you need my permission)

I've got to ask - what is a dive coat?

 

[all4scuba05]

sometimes it's called a boat coat.

The truWest custom waterproof parka is rumored to be a great value --

I just bought 2 of these Boat Coat . Not quite as long as most, but that works well for me. They seem nice and warn, and the price is RIGHT!

I forgot to mention that I prefer the kneelength version.

I have a full length fur coat I wear all the time. Works well!

I found a terrycloth version, no zip- pancho style on ebay for about $15 a few months ago, can't remember the sellers ID tho. Not really a coat, but great for changing on the beach!

I have used the truwest coat for a number of years and find it quite reliable.

As others have pointed out, you can get cheap "Boat Coat"-style long jackets with a little bit of searching. Try searching under "stadium jackets" or swimming jackets.

The Dive Gear Boat Coat is pretty nice, though. This past year they made some significant improvements to the design that you may or may find on other coats. For instance, the velco wrist closures are now backed with nylon.

BTW, my girlfriend and I each bought a Dive Gear Boat Coat and are very happy with them.
