What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I take the Nanodry Poncho on every surf and travel trip—it’s like a towel, robe, and changing shelter all in one. The nanofiber fabric soaks up water fast, dries quickly, and packs into its own pocket so it never takes up space.”Whether we’re wrapping up after a surf session or changing trailside post-swim, the Matador Nanodry Packable Towel Poncho keeps us dry, covered, and comfortable. Built from ultralight nanofiber material, it absorbs over twice its weight in water and dries fast enough to be ready for the next dip before the day’s over. This all-in-one poncho design makes transitions easy, with a hooded silhouette for warmth and a hidden pass-through that lets us change in privacy. The front kangaroo pocket keeps hands warm while a discreet zip pocket stows essentials—or doubles as the poncho’s built-in travel case. Compact, machine washable, and PFC-free, it’s the perfect minimalist essential for beach trips, van life, or wherever our next adventure ends in water.
