Speedo, Aquatic Hooded Zip-Front Cover Dress / B002YX0MHC
I joined a gym earlier in the year in order to use the pool, but I found that redressing afterwards was tedious - the least amount of dampness on my legs transferred to my jeans and pants, and trying to pull shirts over my wet hair caused snags and tangles. I purchased this dress in my size (here an XL) so as to have something quick and easy to dress in after a swim, but still "normal" enough to drop by the supermarket afterwards, if need be.
In that regard, this dress fits the bill pretty perfectly. Overall, the dress is well made (more on that in a minute), and the zipper is strong - not flimsy - and doesn't snag or eat up the fabric. Also, no loose threads or trailing hems here, and the fit is pretty much perfect. The material could be thicker - you can just barely see the outline of under clothes, but it's pretty thick for "swim wear" clothing, so I can't complain. The included hood isn't heavy and doesn't pull on my shoulders, and the front pockets are well-situated and very useful. I do wish the dress came in more color varieties.
My one complaint is that the company that makes these hasn't graduated to the "print on labels" or even the "easy tear away" labels. The label in the back was super-scratchy and drove me *insane* until I finally reached back and tore it out. I'm just about the least powerful person on earth, so I was surprised and annoyed to find that tearing out the label caused the actual stitches to tear out. Grr. So I had to re-stitch by hand, which was exceedingly annoying. But if you're reading this review, then you're forewarned and can just cut the tag carefully out.

Customer Review: Serves the purpose but the thinner than expected
Rating: 4 Stars
I recently started a swimming workout in preparation for a triathalon. I was looking for a cover-up to put on as I got out of the pool that would basically get me home. I wanted something almost towel-like that zipped up. This works okay in terms of covering up but it's thinner than I expected, like, thinner than a typical zip up workout jacket.
