Prolimit Poncho Frontzip Extreme Long Arm Black/Gray

Prolimit Poncho Frontzip Extreme Long Arm is a warm, water-repellent changing poncho that makes changing at the waterfront comfortable and wind-free. The long sleeves with elastic cuffs keep your arms sheltered while you take off your wetsuit, and the full-length frontzip makes donning and doffing easy without having to work above your head. The generous fit gives plenty of room to get underlayment or wetsuit off and on, while the soft interior warms up quickly when you get chilled out of the water. The hood is roomy and firmly finished so it won't flip over in the wind, and the fabric is chosen so that splashes and light rain simply fall off. Front hand pockets provide room for cold hands, wax or car keys; the zipper pulls closed easily even with cold fingers. This way you can stand on the parking lot, jetty or dike just out of the wind, without the hassle of towels falling off.

On Dutch lakes, ponds and at the coast you especially notice how much peace and quiet this model brings in the changeover moment. You stay warm longer after a winter or spring session and your car stays drier because you can already dry off under the poncho for the most part. The water-repellent exterior absorbs less moisture, keeping the poncho lighter and drying faster at the rack or over the seat. The knee-length cut provides coverage when stooping or sitting on the tailgate; the fresh wind doesn't get a chance to blow in below. After use, sand and drops are easily shaken out and the poncho rolls up compactly for storage in the trunk. Whether you kite, wing or windsurf, swim or stand at class, this is one of those pieces of gear you take with you by default because it makes every session just a little more comfortable and you'll be warm again faster for the ride home.
