Adults Hooded Towels

An adult hooded towel is a wearable towel with a built-in hood that slips over your head like a poncho. It lets you dry off, stay warm and change out of wet swimmers without holding a towel in place. Our hooded towels for adults are designed for Australian beaches, surf breaks, pools and gyms, in natural colours you'll be happy to wear from the sand to the café.

Why Adults Love a Towel Hoodie

A towel hoodie solves the classic beach problem: getting changed without an audience. The roomy poncho cut gives you space to move your arms inside, so you can swap swimmers for dry clothes anywhere. The hood keeps wind off wet hair, and the towel fabric dries you as you change. No more juggling a flat towel or asking a friend to hold it up.

Hooded Beach Towels

A hooded beach towel goes wherever a regular towel goes, and does more. Wear it after a swim to warm up when the sea breeze picks up, use it as a cover-up for the walk back to the car, then throw it in your beach bag. It's the easiest upgrade to your beach kit.

Hooded Surf Towels and Surf Ponchos

Surfers were among the first to swap flat towels for a surf poncho. A hooded surf towel lets you peel off a wetsuit discreetly in the car park, warm up after an early session and keep sand off your clothes. Choose a length that falls to around the knee for full coverage while you change.

For Swimming, the Pool and the Gym

Ocean swimmers, pool regulars and gym-goers use a hooded swim towel to dry off and change quickly between sessions. A lightweight microfibre towel hoodie also makes a practical hooded gym towel: it packs small and dries fast in your bag.

Hooded Towels for Men and Women

Our adult hooded towels have a relaxed, unisex fit that works for men and women. The poncho shape isn't tailored, so it suits different body types and leaves plenty of room to change underneath. Pick your size by height using the guide below.

Tip: for full coverage while changing, an adult hooded towel should fall to around your knees. If you're between sizes, choose the longer one.

Microfibre or Cotton?

Microfibre hooded towels are lightweight, compact and quick-drying, which makes them great for surfing, travel and the gym. Cotton hooded towels feel thicker and softer, perfect for relaxing after a swim or a hot shower. Each product page lists the exact fabric.
