Updated July 2026
The poncho is your ultimate changing room on the go: a large, cape-shaped towel that lets you change privately at the beach or in the parking lot, all while drying off and staying protected from the wind. It's an essential piece of gear for Surf, kitesurf, and wingfoil riders, available in classic terry cloth or a technical windproof version. Here at GlissEvolution, your trusted shop in Pornichet since 2005, we stock a range of top brands and our own popular in-house model. This section is part of our neoprene collection; be sure to check out our lycras and tops and accessories too.
Terry, Microfiber, or Technical Poncho?
| Type | Material | Advantages | Indicative Budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terry | Terry Cotton | Absorbent, soft, comfortable | approx. 40 to €100 |
| Microfiber | Polyester | Lightweight, compact, quick-drying | approx. 40 to €80 |
| Technical | Waterproof Softshell | Windproof, pockets, winter-ready | approx. 100 to €200 |
The terry poncho is a classic for a reason: it's super absorbent and comfortable after your session, making it ideal for summer and mid-season. For colder or windier conditions, the technical poncho, with its windproof and waterproof design, is your perfect companion.
Why Use a Poncho?
It lets you change discreetly on the beach or in the parking lot, absorbs water as you dry, blocks the wind to prevent post-session chills, and keeps your car seats safe from moisture and sand.
Which size should I choose?
For the groms, Kids or Grom models are shorter and lighter. For adults, a length of about 100 to 110 cm works for most body sizes. If you're over 1.85 m, grab an XL or Deluxe model for full coverage. Your poncho should always reach at least your knees.

Care
Machine wash your poncho at 40 °C, but skip the fabric softener as it can reduce absorption. Air dry or tumble dry, and always store it completely dry to keep odors at bay.
