The Vaikobi GenII Beach Coat is a warm, weather-protective changing robe designed for before and after watersports sessions, as well as everyday use around the beach, pool, boat park or sportsfield. Its technical bonded 2-layer outer fabric is windproof and water repellent, while the soft grid-fleece lining draws moisture away from the skin to help you feel warmer and drier. The intentionally oversized fit makes it easy to pull on over a wetsuit, drysuit or everyday clothing, with a full-length two-way zip, generous hood and practical storage.
