DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort and Feel
You'll immediately feel the difference with the ultra-soft bamboo fabric; it's much more comfortable than a standard towel and reduces skin irritation. The terry cloth soaks up water without clinging to your body, giving you plenty of room and time to change comfortably. The large hood covers your head to keep you warm right after you get out of the water.
Sizes and Fit
This summer version comes in a one-size-fits-all design for adult men and women. The fit is roomy to make changing underneath easy, yet the poncho itself remains compact enough for travel. If you are very tall, we suggest trying it on in-store to check the length and hood fit.
Material and Construction
The MANERA SUMMER PONCHO is made from 380g/m² bamboo fabric. It's a thinner and 30% lighter alternative to the 550g/m² winter version, making it perfect for summer. Bamboo is naturally bacteriostatic and hypoallergenic, and the terry cloth dries faster than a traditional towel without sacrificing absorbency.
Usage and Advice
The large kangaroo pocket is perfect for your hands or stashing essentials, while the hood helps you dry off and warm up. For travel, it folds down small into a drybag. The 380g/m² summer fabric dries quickly and takes up very little space. Between sessions, just give it a shake and hang it to air dry.
