A poncho is the fastest way to change in the car park — no towel dance and no worrying who is watching. Adult and kids\u0027 versions in terry, cotton and technical fabrics.
A poncho also works as a beach mat, a seat cover against a wet wetsuit and a blanket when the wind turns. Also see the rain and warm ponchos and travel towels.

Because you change standing up, in the wind — no towel dance in the car park. The fabric is absorbent and quick-drying, and the hood keeps you from cooling down after a session.
A poncho also works as a mat for rigging on sand; see the models here.
The adult size fits most people up to ~190 cm; the kids version is shorter and lighter so a child cannot get tangled. If the poncho is for changing into a wetsuit, size up — you need room for your arms.
Each model lists its length; if you are on the edge, we will advise based on your height.
Microfibre models dry in one to two hours in the air; classic terry takes longer. Wash at 30 °C without fabric softener — softener seals the fibres and the poncho stops absorbing.
Rinse it with fresh water after the sea; salt attacks the seams just as it does on a wetsuit.
Thicker terry models beat microfibre in winter — they keep you warm while you change out of a wet suit. Use the poncho as your first layer straight out of the water, then change into dry clothes.
With a warm beanie and the right wetsuit thickness, a winter session is perfectly manageable.
