IS THE PEBBLE SURF PONCHO HEAVY OR BULKY?
Not at all! It packs up small and weighs less than one lb.
It's also super absorbent and quick drying, which means it will drape nicely over your body even when wet instead of clinging to your skin or becoming see-through.
Why should I choose a Turkish cotton poncho over a cheap, fast-drying microfiber one?
Synthetic microfiber ponchos are made of polyester (plastic). Once wet, they lack thermal insulation and act like a cold wind-conductor against your skin. They also lock in bad odors and shed thousands of microplastics into the ocean with every wash.
Tofino ponchos are loomed from 100% natural, long-staple Turkish cotton, providing vastly superior performance:
Active Warmth: Our multi-layer muslin and dense jacquard weaves create micro-pockets that trap your body heat, creating an immediate windbreak that stops post-swim shivering.
True Absorbency: Instead of pushing water around your skin like slick polyester, long-staple cotton drinks moisture directly into the core of its organic fibers for instant drying.
Ocean-Safe & Odor-Free: Our certified organic cotton is entirely biodegradable, naturally resists that sour, musty smell, and gets softer with every wash rather than thinning out and breaking down like plastic.
