Sushi.
They are. I have the one with the shorter loose sleeves. Though they’re pretty much full length on me and it’s well past my knees 🤣

I have a Swimzi which is huge - I bought M when I should have got S - but the other morning in the rain in queue for the lido I was glad of its length and longer sleeves, as fellow swimmers wearing the 'shortie' Dryrobes with brightly coloured fleece linings weren't as well protected as I was.

wow finally braved a sea swim down in dover and bloody loved it . Despite the cold being a huge shock to the system to start I stayed in and managed a measly 40 minutes.

Its amazing how alive I feel now .
