Changing Poncho • 100% Cotton Terry • 400 g/m² Fabric • Adjustable Hood
2026 MANERA Poncho Stay Salty
Dry off, warm up and change comfortably at the beach or the launch.
The MANERA Poncho Stay Salty gives you a private place to change wherever your session ends. Pull it on after surfing, kiting or foiling to dry off in soft cotton terry, then use the generous cut and side hand openings to change out of wet gear without wrestling a towel in the parking lot.
Made from 100% cotton terry fabric at 400 g/m², the poncho is absorbent and comfortable without feeling bulky. A high collar and adjustable hood add coverage when you step out of the water, while the roomy shape leaves space to move your arms and change underneath.

Why Choose This Poncho?
A regular towel falls away as soon as you need both hands to change. The MANERA poncho stays on, gives you room to move and lets your hands reach inside through the side openings. It makes the routine after a cold-water session simpler: cover up, dry off and get into warm clothes at the beach, beside the car or wherever you pack down.
Windance recommendation: Keep the Poncho Stay Salty in your gear bag for post-session changes and towel-like drying. Its cotton terry is designed for absorbency and comfort; use a weatherproof changing layer if you specifically need protection from rain or strong wind.
Details You'll Use Every Session
Absorbent Cotton Terry
Soft, lightweight 100% cotton terry helps dry skin and wet hair after time in the water. The published 400 g/m² figure describes the fabric, not the total garment weight.
Room to Change
The ample cut provides coverage and movement as you remove a wetsuit or change into dry clothes at the spot.
High Collar and Hood
A high collar gives extra coverage around the neck, and the adjustable hood lets you set the fit when drying off or warming up.
Side Hand Openings
Reach your hands through the sides to handle clothing underneath while the poncho stays in place for privacy.
Where It Fits In Your Kit
Bring it for the drive home from a surf session, a windy kite launch, a wingfoil beach day or a swim. It works as a towel and a changing cover in one piece, with enough coverage to make crowded parking lots and exposed beaches more comfortable.
MANERA describes the poncho as suitable for all seasons. The cotton fabric absorbs water and provides comfort after a session; it is not specified as a waterproof rain shell.

Is it waterproof?
