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
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

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 for changing & warmup

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.

Great changing poncho

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.

Super functional and cute-ish

Perfect for drying off and changing after time in/on the water. Big enough to wiggle out of tight, wet neoprene pants without putting on a show. There’s no way for this not to look like a mix of a muumuu and a shower curtain, but it’s the cutest version it can be.

Excellent hot spring, beach or shower cover towel.

Nomadix towels have been a part of our camping gear so my wife and I had no issues adding these changing ponchos to our van essentials. They are great for use at hot spring and other water events, much warmer than just wrapping up in a towel. Only complaint is the lack of better print choices, especially for men.
