Prolimit Poncho Frontzip Extreme Short Arm Black/Gray

Prolimit Poncho Frontzip Extreme Short Arm is a warm, water-repellent changing poncho that makes changing at the waterfront quick and comfortable, without the hassle of towels sagging. The short sleeves give maximum freedom of movement when zipping, pulling and unzipping your wetsuit, while the full-length frontzip makes getting in and out easy without having to pull anything over your head. The generous, knee-length fit offers plenty of room to change base layers or get your wetsuit off, and the soft interior warms you up quickly when you get chilled out of the water. The hood is roomy and securely finished so it won't flip over in strong winds, and the water-repellent outer fabric beads off rain and spray in the time it takes you to change. Front pockets keep your hands warm and accommodate keys or wax; the zipper works smoothly even with cold fingers, so you're not standing around fiddling in the wind.

On Dutch lakes, ponds and at the coast, you especially notice how much peace and comfort this model brings on chilly or windy days. You stay warm longer after the session, your car stays drier because you can already dry off under the poncho for the most part, and the compact weight makes taking it along easy: in the trunk, beach cart or sailing bag. The water-repellent layer absorbs little moisture and dries quickly on a hook or over the seat; sand and salt shake right out. The short sleeves are ideal for those who often work with gloves or impact vest, or simply want to move freely when changing. Even in the off-season - when supping, kiting, wind- or wingfoiling - this is a piece of gear you grab by default: windproof enough for the parking lot, roomy enough for discreet changing, and durably finished for years of use in salt and sun.
