Checker Poncho Towel

After a good time in the water, there's nothing like reaching for your trusty poncho towel. This thing is a lifesaver! Forget awkwardly holding a towel up with one hand while trying to change — the poncho towel is basically a wearable hoodie that lets you dry off hands-free and change out of your wetsuit/ wet swimsuit without giving everyone at the beach a free show.

Made from microfiber, this towel can soak up four times its weight in water and still dry super fast, which means you're not left lugging around a soggy mess. Oh, and it’s eco-friendly too, with 90% of the fabric coming from recycled materials. It keeps the sun off your back when your chilling on the sand, keeps you warm on cooler days, and it doesn’t collect sand like some towels do. Win-win.

Honestly, it’s like the Swiss army knife of towels — except it won’t stab you while you’re trying to change.
