How do I care for and clean my surf poncho or changing robe?

Most surf ponchos can be machine washed with similar colors on a gentle cycle. For changing robes with waterproof exteriors, follow the care instructions provided—usually a cold wash and air dry is recommended to preserve the fabric and waterproofing. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach to maintain performance and durability.

How do I choose the right surf poncho or changing robe for different weather conditions?

If you're surfing in warmer climates, a lightweight, quick-drying poncho is perfect to keep you comfortable without overheating. For colder or windy weather, opt for our heavy-duty changing robes with fleece lining and waterproof materials, which offer extra warmth and protection from rain and wind. Consider the temperature and typical weather you’ll encounter to pick the best fit.

What makes Bob Gnarly surf ponchos and robes better than regular towels or other changing options?

Our surf ponchos and changing robes offer privacy and easy, hands-free changing outdoors—something towels can't provide. They're designed specifically for water sports enthusiasts, combining durable, quick-drying fabrics with features like hoods and roomy fits. Unlike standard towels, these robes protect you from wind and chill, making transitions from water to land more comfortable and stylish.

How do I properly care for my Bob Gnarly changing robe to maintain its waterproofing and fabric quality?

To keep your robe in top shape, machine wash it gently with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the waterproof coating and fabric performance. Always air dry your robe—never put it in the dryer—as heat can degrade materials and waterproof features over time.

Are Bob Gnarly surf ponchos and changing robes suitable for all body types and sizes?

Yes! Our collection features unisex designs available in multiple sizes to comfortably fit a wide range of body types. The roomy cuts and adjustable hoods make it easy for most users to change discreetly and stay cozy. We recommend checking our size chart before buying to ensure the best fit for your personal comfort and coverage needs.

Can I use these robes for activities other than surfing, like paddleboarding or open water swimming?

Absolutely! Bob Gnarly changing robes and ponchos are designed with versatility in mind. Whether you're paddleboarding, swimming in open waters, or doing other water sports, they offer privacy, warmth, and wind protection when you need to change or relax after your session. Their quick-drying and durable fabrics make them ideal companions for any outdoor water activity.
