Inca Terry Poncho: Hooded 440 GSM Turkish Cotton Changing Poncho
The Inca is the clean half of NIXY's adult poncho pair. Woven from 100% Turkish terry cotton at 440 gsm, it has the weight to actually dry you off and the cut to wear on the walk back to the car. Short sleeves, an attached hood, and a front pocket for your keys and phone.
Pull it on wet, change underneath it, and keep going. That is the whole idea.
Turkish Terry at 440 GSM
Turkish cotton is spun from long fibers, which is what makes it smooth, strong, and quick to release water. At 440 gsm the Inca sits in the useful middle of the range: substantial enough to pull water off your skin in one pass, light enough that it is not a wet weight in your bag an hour later. Like all Turkish cotton, it softens with every wash.
The ribbed vertical terry gives the surface texture that helps it grip and lift water rather than push it around.
Built to Change In
The relaxed one-size cut leaves room to get out of a wet swimsuit or a wetsuit with the poncho still on. No balancing act with a slipping towel, no hunting for a changing room in a parking lot.
The short sleeves are the part people notice. They keep the shoulders covered when the wind picks up and stop the whole thing from sliding around while you are moving underneath it.
Details That Earn Their Place
- Attached hood that dries your hair and blocks wind after a session
- Front kangaroo pocket for keys, a phone, or cold hands
- Short sleeves for shoulder coverage and a cleaner fit than a sleeveless poncho
- Contrast stripe at each cuff and down both side seams
- One size fits most adults, no sizing guesswork
- Woven NIXY label at the neck
Inca or Nazca?
They are the same poncho underneath: same 440 gsm Turkish terry, same cut, same hood, sleeves, and pocket. The difference is the face of the fabric. The Inca keeps a clean cream ground with a single black line down each side and at the cuffs. The Nazca Terry Poncho runs woven black stripes across the whole body for more pattern and presence.
Pick on how loud you want it. Everything else is identical.
Who It Is For
Paddleboarders, surfers, swimmers, boaters, open-water swimmers, and anyone who spends a day between the water and the shore. It folds down into a beach bag or a backpack and comes out ready.
If you want more weight for cold-water mornings, the Everest Turkish Changing Poncho runs 500 gsm. If you want something lighter and more packable for hot days, the Flow Adults Turkish Cotton Poncho runs 300 gsm in five colors.
Built for the water. Inspired by the life around it.
