Description

Made for those times and places where you need to pack your own privacy, the PackTowl Changing Poncho is both towel and personal changing room (because space, like privacy, can also be limited on adventures). This practical, double-duty workhorse lets you get naked, get dry and get into a new change of clothes without showing so much as a shorts tan line. It dries fast, doesn’t smell and absorbs water easily, all the things you’d expect from PackTowl. So whether you’re warming up after an alpine swim, stripping off your wetsuit after a surf sesh, or peeling off muddy mountain bike clothes before heading to the brewery, the Changing Poncho has you (literally) covered.

FAQs and Documents

How do I wash my PackTowl® towel?

We recommend that you wash your PackTowl before first use. All PackTowl towels are machine washable. Wash in cold water with like colors. Do not use bleach or iron. Do not use fabric softener. Air dry or tumble dry on low. Dry thoroughly before storing for long periods of time.

Why do I need to wash my PackTowl towel before first use?

Due to manufacturing processes, materials, and dyes used, it is possible that a small amount of dye might bleed from a PackTowl towel. This is why we recommend that you wash your PackTowl towel with like colors before first using it.

My PackTowl Original towel shrank slightly when I first washed it. Is it defective?

Your Original towel is not defective. Because we use viscose fabric in our Original towels, it is natural that they will shrink slightly in the first wash. Washing the PackTowl Original will improve its water absorbency and softness.

What does "odor control" mean?

With our Personal and Luxe towels, we use Polygiene® odor control treatment to combat the development of odors caused by microbes such as bacteria, fungus, and mildew. Polygiene is based on silver salt (silver chloride) produced from recycled silver, and has a low environmental impact in comparison to other odor-controlling treatments. Because the treatment is integrated into the fabric, it won’t wash out. More information about Polygiene can be found on their website.

What is microfiber fabric?

Microfiber fabric is made from a very fine synthetic yarn (smaller than the diameter of a strand of silk). Instead of having the typical round shape of natural fibers, these very fine synthetic yarns are shaped to have more overall surface area than round natural fibers, which increases their ability to attract and retain water molecules—this is what allows microfiber fabric to “absorb” moisture much more effectively than cotton, as well as dry quicker. It also helps make it very soft.

Reviews

Works well. Would be curious

"Works well. Would be curious about adding in a thicker weight to be used as more of a warm up as well. The fit is good, except I have long arms and might benefit from slightly bigger armholes."

— James C. (4/5)

This poncho is so soft

"This poncho is so soft and absorbent, and the print looks amazing. Just be aware that it runs large! I typically size up to a L in clothing, but since this was designed for changing is already extra-extra roomy—the small/medium would have been a better fit for me!"

— JESSICA P. (4/5)

Good absorbent fabric, and packs

"Good absorbent fabric, and packs down well as expected of a pack towel. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the stitching at the arm holes. The first time my wife tried to put her arms through them, the stitching ripped. There are few if any reinforcing stitches there, and that’s likely the point where the stitching will experience the most routine stress."

Roomy, Long with Wide Sleeves

"Car Camping showers often have wet floors so I like putting on shorts or swim suit briefs rather than getting long pants wet. Back in camp I can crawl into my tent (not high enough to stand in) , put up a tipi tarp, or before this purchase, use a long (night?) t-shirt to change into pants and / or underwear. The last option will be far easier with this as it is longer, and the wide sleeves mean I can slip my arms inside to pull up pants etc, it is also roomier which makes this even easier. I could just put on underwear to start with as this covers them, just not used to doing that. (With swimsuit I can say I am wearing that if I get questions?) I can do without a towel too, and dry off with the outside of this, the inside is still dry when I tried it at home. Or if I have space still bring a cotton towel if I want, and fall back on this if the cotton towel doesn't dry in the rainy PNW. Being male I don't have to worry about putting on shirts, but I did put on a t-shirt (backwards!) with this just for fun. Don't think that would be possible with my night shirt but this is wide enough to put on a t-shirt underneath esp. with arms inside the wide "poncho". I thought ponchos had open sides , not sure, but this doesn't it is more like a very wide and long hooded t-shirt."

— Larry R. (5/5)

"It's ok - but the material could be softer and more stretchy. I have a towel from a different brand that is soft and stretchy which I prefer to this new poncho."
