10 reasons why the eco-friendly Wildsuits towel Poncho is the best beach essential.

In brief

Multifunctional, cosy, comfortable and simply practical: A Wildsuits towel Poncho is a must-have for surfers and sea lovers. We know, it can take some time until great waves or wind comes up for (Kite-) Surfing. While waiting, it can become quite cold at the beach and as a photographer it can be freezing when you catch the surfers in their best moments. Our eco-friendly Wildsuits Ponchos will keep you warm and you dry even faster, they are made and designed in partnership with Big Raven in Portugal.

With a Wildsuits Poncho you stay comfortable even in rough surf times, get to know our 10 reasons why it’s the best beach essential:

You have a private dressing room

Don’t be ever afraid again to lose your towel around your hip and being naked in front of everybody, while struggling to get your wetsuit off. Just slip in the Wildsuits Poncho, they are oversized fit and you can easily change your cloth inside it. Our surf ponchos are unisex and we provide the sizes S, M and L, so that they fit perfectly to you.

Dry faster

Our Wildsuits Ponchos are made of 100% cotton and you dry faster than with a normal beach towel. While your hair is wet, the soft hood protects you from cold wind and keeps your head and ears warm. After using the poncho, just hang it in the sun and it will quickly dry too.

The blue warming cape

Between two surf sessions, a surf poncho serves as a warming cape. You don’t have to take off your wetsuit at all or only up to the waist and still don’t get cold. A Wildsuits Poncho can keep you warm in every situation, even while camping, after a sauna or ice bath.

A beach towel poncho and sun protector in one

Use the poncho as your beach towel, lie or sit on it, while enjoying the sun. Roll the Wildsuits Poncho together and use it as your neck roll for taking a relaxing nap. When it gets too sunny, the poncho will protect sensitive areas like your shoulders.

Have your travel buddy with you

The Wildsuits Poncho is a lightweight and can be easily packed in your hand luggage or suitcase. Even in the case you don’t have space, then just put it on and we will promise you will have your most cosiest flight ever. Take your poncho on your travels, so it will always remind you of your surf adventures. No worries, you can also wash the Wildsuits Poncho at a low temperature.

Useful kangaroo pocket

The kangaroo pocket in the front is perfect for warming your hands. Leave your backpack at home, you can take your sandwich, water bottle, sunscreen or car key in the little pouch of the Wildsuits Poncho.

Reduce your ecological footprint

Using recycled materials or upcycled products, saves the resources of the nature and reduces your ecological footprint. Our Wildsuits Poncho is 100 % eco-friendly and a mix between recycled organic cotton towel and a big jumper. The poncho has been designed in partnership with Big Raven. They produce our Wildsuits Ponchos by using upcycled fabrics from not used stocks to minimize waste and reduce excess of new production. The company takes care that no plastic is used and the manufacturing process is sustainable for the environment and the workers. 

Handmade by sea lovers in Portugal

The Ponchos are handmade by tailors in Nazaré and you can support the local sustainable production in Portugal. It’s a small family business of people, who love the sea like you.

Surf and plant a tree at the same time

As a commitment to nature, Big Raven donates 5% of benefits to sustainable Non-Profit-Organizations like Ecologi. When you buy a poncho, the organization will plan a tree. Let’s grow the Surfer Forest!
