Review- Surf Fur Dive Parka

[pacificgal]

I got my very first dive parka last week, a Surf-Fur dive parka and wore it on a 3 tank boat dive and was able to stay warm and dry in Monterey the whole 8 hours.
The surf-fur dive parka is different from the others I have seen, it's a tight fleece that repels water from the outside while wicking away water on the inside from your suit. It has a huge hood, big deep pockets and is reversible. Because the outside and the inside are fleece, it's not restrictive like the other dive parkas. The following day I took it on a shore dive and found that sand doesn't get caught in it, it's easily shaken and the sand just falls off. Kept me warm and my car dry then, too.
I really like it, and would definitely recommend it to my diving friends.

Nice! It's great to know there's an excellent fleece dive parka out there. I chose to go with a Chammyz Boat Coat instead of a fleece one because fleece often doesn't absorb moisture and sticks. Sounds like you found one that doesn't! Very cool.
