What is the difference between a surf poncho and a changing robe?

Surf ponchos are generally lightweight, made from absorbent materials like terry cloth or microfiber—great for quick changes in warm weather. Changing robes, like Dryrobe or Sola, come with waterproof and windproof exteriors and a fleece lining, providing enhanced warmth and protection in colder, windier conditions.

Why should I use a surf poncho or changing robe?

Surf ponchos and changing robes make changing in and out of swimwear or wetsuits quick, private, and comfortable after surfing or water sports. They keep you warm and dry, shield you from the wind, and eliminate the hassle of managing towels or awkwardly changing in public.

Which type of surf poncho or changing robe is right for me?

Choose a lightweight terry cloth or microfiber surf poncho for hot climates, fast drying, and easy packing. For colder beaches, winter surfing, or added protection against rain and wind, opt for a heavy duty changing robe with a waterproof shell and fleece lining for maximum warmth and comfort.

Are your surf ponchos and changing robes suitable for activities beyond surfing?

Absolutely! Our surf ponchos and changing robes are ideal for open water swimmers, paddleboarders, triathletes, campers, and anyone who needs to change outdoors or stay warm at events. They are also perfect for spectating sporting events or just staying cozy during outdoor adventures.

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.
