Different models for changing, drying off or protecting yourself from the elements!
A poncho isn’t just a simple piece of clothing. Depending on the material, fabric weight, cut and level of protection, it can either be a minimalist solution for changing quickly or a fully functional after-session layer.
We’ve structured our range around these real-world uses, with one goal: matching the level of technical performance to what you actually need, without anything unnecessary.

First Microfibre Poncho
The First Microfibre is designed around the primary function of a poncho: allowing you to change quickly and dry off efficiently after your session.
- Made from 290 gsm terry microfiber: a great balance between absorption and quick drying.
- Lightweight and easy to care for.
- Loose fit for easy movement, especially when taking off a wetsuit without restriction.
- Integrated hood.
→ A simple, durable poncho designed for everyday use.

Travel Light Poncho
The Travel Light addresses a different requirement: reducing bulk without sacrificing the basic function of a poncho.
- Polyester/polyamide suede microfiber, thinner and more compact than conventional terry fabric.
- Optimized for storage: packs down compactly into its dedicated pouch.
- Less thermal comfort and thickness in exchange for maximum portability.
→ Designed for riders on the move and sessions away from home.


Perf Cotton Poncho
The Cotton Poncho takes a different approach, moving from synthetic fabric to a denser, softer 100% cotton natural fiber.
Cotton offers excellent absorption and greater thermal inertia, improving comfort when you get out of the water, particularly in cool or windy conditions.
- Greater thermal comfort.
- Soft, natural feel.
- Loose fit that still makes changing easy, but with comfort becoming the main focus: staying covered, warmer and comfortable.
- Functional features (hood, front pocket, wide neckline) that enhance its post-ride use.
→ A poncho focused on comfort and recovery.

Waterproof Dryfleece Poncho
The Waterproof Dryfleece Poncho goes beyond simply being a changing poncho: it’s an outer protective layer for after your session.
- Technical nylon outer fabric that effectively blocks rain and wind (10,000 mm Schmerber).
- Brushed polyester fleece lining for insulation, thermal comfort and absorption.
- Loose fit, wide sleeves and adjustable design.
- Waterproof front zip with double slider for adjustable opening.
- Multiple pockets for extended use out of the water.
This takes you from a simple poncho to a complete after-session system that can be used as a static protective layer. A true cocoon for winter post-session comfort.
→ The most technical option in the range.

Each model is designed for a specific use
The same basic function, but different levels of performance depending on the material, construction and protection.
The goal isn’t to have more, but to choose what’s right.
