Small head hole

This thing would have been 5 stars, but I just wish the hole for your head was a little bigger. That is the only thing I find annoying. I use this rafting, camping, and paddle boarding to change in. Its great to get out of wet clothes on the side of the road.

Good idea, poor execution
Ruthies Mom

I purchased this to change clothes when I am done running at the trailhead as bathrooms aren't an option most of the time. As others have mentioned, the head opening is small and a large shirt is difficult to get through there. Also, it needs to be larger in size in order to make it actually easy, and not a gymnastics event, to change your clothes. I purchased the M/L and cannot imagine if a full grown man had to use it! I have such a hard time with changing my bra, putting on my shirt, putting on my pants, etc. that it would be harder for someone bigger than myself and I'm not small but I'm not huge either. It's definitely not size inclusive. It's a good idea and something needed but just poorly executed

Like a Locker Room Flashback

2 months ago

I’m obsessed with the yellow, such a fun, bold color. I got the M/L for extra room and it’s perfect. Using it reminded me of changing in my middle school locker room; awkward at first, but I got the hang of it fast. I used it on a desert camping trip where privacy was limited, and it was a game changer. Pants and underwear were easy. Getting a shirt and bra on took a bit more maneuvering, but it’s doable. It also saved me from having to squirm around in the back of my car to change. My friend even mentioned it could come in handy for, let’s say, “emergency nature breaks.” Overall, super practical, kind of nostalgic, and now a permanent part of my weekend setup.

Great Product

3 years ago

The Changing Poncho was a game changer. We took it on a recent trip awesome to change no matter where we were going from one activity to the next. We could go from hiking and swimming in the river change at the trail head and do some shopping and lunch. It will go with us any time we leave the house on a trip. IT was so great also as an extra layer. we were on the beach and the wind picked up and it worked great to be able to stay out there a little longer. Plenty of room to change in, it was so smooth to use for changing. I love the mission of the company and the fact that it is made of post consumer recycled plastic

Great changing poncho

1 year ago

I usually go to my local group bike ride from coaching track/xc so I usually am not able to put on my bike kit before arriving to the ride. I love having this and be able to easily change in the parking lot, and it comes in handy for keeping me warm for parking lot beers after the ride. It has also come in handy for many races, I like to change out of sweaty clothes after races into some dry clean clothes, and being able to do that by my car instead of an awkward car or towel change.

Love these!

2 years ago

Recently purchased three of these for my kids and LOVE these!! We live in Miami and constantly going to the beach and swim classes. These are perfect to throw on and the kids take off their wet gear very easily underneath. Then we just wear them in the car ride home. So much easier than finding and taking three kids to a restroom to change, or struggling with holding up a towel for them to change behind. Game changer!!

Quality, sustainable, functional

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This towel looks cool and works great. I love that the towel doubles changing room. I am 5’ 8” and the M/L is a bit longer than I prefer but it still functions just fine for me. My girlfriend is 5’ 4” and has the S/M one which seems like a better fit for us both. Definitely worth the relatively high price tag for a quality item from a forward-thinking company!

When I got to the

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got to the beach, pulled out my wetsuit, and then put on the Nomadix Changing towel, heads started to turn. The super sick camo print made glasses dip and smiles to come out because they knew a ripper was about to take over the break. With the slimmer fit of the Pancho, ladies knew I was rocking at 12 pack but in reality it was just a 1 paddle built pack. After the session, about 50 cut backs, and 10 waves, nothing was better than coming back and drying off with the Pancho towel. Such a sick piece and know this just upped the quiver vibe set to the max. Highly recommend buying.

Great for changing & warmup

2 years ago

My friend has a L/XL and is 6'2" 250 lbs weight lifter and can use this easily. This is great for changing in public for camping, hiking, beach, gym, etc. You can change into/out of anything and even sneak a wet wipe shower. If you need to change bras, I'd recommend having something on the bottom so you can lift the poncho up a bit and do what you need to. For changing undies, it works great, long enough to not expose anything. The arm holes are big enough to be easy to get in/out but not too big to be revealing. The material is heavier than I was expecting, in a good quality way. It is absorbent and doesn't have that awful scratching/pulling sensation like some microfiber things. Also great for warming up before a run or preventing a chill while you're sweaty afterwards.
