Nazca Striped Turkish Terry Poncho: Hooded Adult Changing Poncho
The Nazca striped Turkish terry poncho is a hooded adult changing poncho with short sleeves, a front pocket, and side slits. It uses the same 440 gsm Turkish terry as the Inca, but black stripes run the full length of its cream ground. So you get a bolder look with the same fit and function.
What Makes This Striped Turkish Terry Poncho Different?
We weave the stripes into the terry instead of printing them on top. As a result, they have soft, irregular edges rather than hard machine lines. They also won't crack or fade off the surface after a season of salt water.
Why 440 GSM Turkish Terry?
Turkish cotton uses long fibers, so it feels smooth, lasts longer, and releases water quickly instead of holding it. At 440 gsm, the Nazca also has enough body to pull water off your skin in one pass. However, it still folds into a bag without turning into a wet brick. Like all our Turkish cotton, it softens with every wash too.
Room to Change, Anywhere
The relaxed one-size fit gives you space to get out of a wet swimsuit or wetsuit while the poncho stays on. Side slits at the hem also let you move freely. So you skip the towel balancing act and the walk across the parking lot to find a changing room. Short sleeves keep your shoulders covered when the wind comes up, and they stop the poncho from shifting while you change underneath.

Nazca or Inca: Which Should You Pick?
Both ponchos share the same 440 gsm terry, cut, hood, sleeves, and pocket. However, the face of the fabric differs. The Nazca runs black stripes across the whole body for more pattern and presence. In contrast, the Inca poncho keeps a clean cream ground with a single black line down each side and at the cuffs. So pick based on how bold you want it, since everything else matches.
Who Is This Striped Turkish Terry Poncho For?
The Nazca suits paddleboarders, surfers, swimmers, and boaters, but it also works for anyone whose day runs from the water to the shore and back. Also, if you want more weight for cold-water mornings, the Everest poncho uses 500 gsm cotton instead. On the other hand, the Flow poncho weighs just 300 gsm, so it packs smaller for hot days.
How to Care for Your Nazca Poncho
Machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or air dry. Skip fabric softeners and dryer sheets because they coat the fibers and reduce absorbency.
