AglifterRobe/sweats for going to the beach in the morning to swim?
I’m trying to find a washable wool robe, with a hood.
Otherwise, I guess I could try to find very large wool sweat pants, and some kind of washable sweater and knit cap.
This is for swimming when it’s too cold to lay in the sun and dry off on the beach.

maladatI don't know that you will find a wool one, but what you are looking for is called a "swim parka."

AglifterOK, so I need the “fat boy” version of that.

AglifterWell, I may have found one. Not sure what XXL is for speedo, but it might work.

snwghstBlack socks and sandles are appropriate accessorizing

YooperSigsSo... This will cover your... Speedo? Anyway, wool might work because it warm when wet. But I would go Poly Fleece since its easy care and dries fast. Amazon has a bunch of them listed.

shoevbWhat about a Terry cloth surf parka? I have a few from Sun Cube. I use them to change out of my wet suit or swim suit at the beach before driving home.

Pshaw, clearly a man of my age and waist size only swims in gold lamé thongs.

This is to keep me warm from the elevator to the water, and then from the water back to my condo, and to keep from dripping on the floor.

smlsigIn many of our threads on interesting topics in this forum the reader demands that the OP share a picture of the item in question being used…
In this case we’ll just take your word on it! ;-)

Check out the beaches in Europe some time.
There are a lot more oiled up old guys with skin like old shoe leather in Speedos than there are pretty girls in bikinis.
