Inertia Analysis:

Body washes, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners are well established in the athletic arena, but little is known in the geriatric and rehab population. This is where Inertia is wanting to promote the benefits of this product! I feel the body wash alone immediately removes the chemical odors from a long day in the pool, and does a considerable job in eliminating the chemical burning and irritation of the skin, whether it is from a chemical or sodium chloride, bromine, or peroxide pool. As far as the lotion goes,I have to admit…men are a little hesitant of any lotion. Applying any lotion to hairy areas can be a little awkward….but this stuff works to get rid of any residual skin irritation from chemical contact, and gives instant relieve to those sunburned areas. The women, respectively love this products smell and moisturizing effects!
​
I have an interesting twist to the shampoo and conditioner. Even in my 6-hour days in the pool…I rarely get my hair wet, and even more rarely get my patients’ hair wet. But I figured I would still sample the TriSwim shampoo and conditioner to see if it was worthwhile for Inertia to carry. So, I would like to humbly admit that I have struggled with dandruff for several years. I have used both the standard Pert and Head & Shoulders products will little result. I thought I was imagining things the day I used TriSwim for the first time–my dandruff was almost totally gone! Since then, I have been using TriSwim shampoo and conditioner, and my dandruff is now totally gone! I am unsure if my water had a heavy chlorine content, or if it was even just from me being dehydrated, but either way–the other products seemed to have little value, and TriSwim has FIXED the problem!

Inertia’s Review:

Though I am not a “man of the cloth” per trade, I found myself addressing therapists’ and patients’ most frequent complaint–getting in and out of the pool several times a day, and being unable to get changed between clients. Running around facilities in wet suits and an overshirt can get old very quickly. My elderly clients, on the other hand, getting in and out of the pool and having to be exposed to the elements while being transported to their rooms can be more of a health problem! Even a short layover before getting a shower and changed was proving challenging to their internal temperature clock.​
​
I felt obligated to find a quality, and yet economical solution. If you are looking for a cozy, fleece robe to lounge around the house in, search elsewhere. But if you are wanting to put an end to the dry/wet/cold transitions of the aquatic day, you have come to the right place!
​I had to return a number of robes that did not live up to their description, or my expectations. I was not sure that I would find one that was satisfactory for our needs at a reasonable price. But perseverance proved worthwhile. Where I found other robes to quickly degrade in quality even after the first few uses, this design appears to increase in quality with each cycle. I have found a robe that I can place the “Intertia” stamp of approval on! This robe is designed for maximum comfort and durability.
​
Woven from 100% Top Quality Egyptian Natural Cottons: This First Class robe weighs in at 3 ½ pounds, the heaviness of this terry cloth robe gives instant warmth and comfort coming out of the pool. The interior of the robe is thick terry loop, which is designed for one purpose, to absorb as much moisture to make you feel dry in a few minutes. The exterior of the robe is thick terry velour. This not only gives a luxurious feel, but forms a 2-ply effect that insulates the inside from the outside. Terry loop alone tends to let the air in, while the velour exterior forms a more protective barrier. This prevents the loss of heat while at the same time shielding the wearer from the outside air.
​
The hood is useful even when not covering the head. The extra fabric doubles the warming effect around the neck and shoulders maximizing thermal support. I find this the best robe for the price for the aquatic professional, or patient!
