The internet's favorite changing poncho, made for beach and surf days
Changing the game for the game changers, the SlowTide Changing Poncho has earned its reputation as a go-to piece for getting in and out of a wetsuit or swimsuit without the usual awkward towel juggling. It is built from a lightweight, Turkish style chambray fabric with a woven design that shows on both sides, so it looks as good coming off as it does going on.
What makes it work
- One size fits most
- Lightweight, Turkish style chambray fabric, 100% cotton
- Woven design visible on both sides
- Internal access dual pocket keeps your hands warm while you change
- Double layer printed hood
- Snap front placket with drawcords
- Easy change short sleeve design
Who it is for
This poncho is built for anyone spending a day in the water, whether that means a surf session, a boat day, or an afternoon at the beach, and needing an easy, comfortable and warm way to change in and out of a wetsuit or swimwear without a struggle. The short sleeve, snap front design makes changing quick, and the hood adds an extra layer of coverage and warmth once you are out of the water.
How to use and care for it
Slip it over your head, use the snap front placket and drawcords to adjust the fit, and tuck your hands into the internal dual pocket while you change underneath. Because it is 100% cotton, wash it on a normal cycle and tumble dry or air dry, avoiding high heat that can affect the woven chambray over time.
About Slowtide
After spending long days at the beach, the founders of Slowtide realized there was no towel that was both exciting and suited to their daily needs, so they set out to create one. Inspired by all bodies of water and a love of art, Slowtide is a collaboration of three friends who wanted to convey their lifestyle through unique products.
