Why You Need A Hooded Beach Towel This Summer

Written by Lydia Burdett /

Long days at the beach are a must during summer. There’s plenty to do, whether you’re a fan of surfing or just there to soak up the sun. And when you head out, there’s one essential item that you’re sure to want to have on hand: a hooded poncho towel. Find out exactly why you need a hooded beach towel from Red this summer.

Available In Cotton Or Microfibre

Our hooded beach towel range offers a choice between our Towelling Change Robe and a Quick-Dry Microfibre Change Robe. Both have their distinct advantages, so which one you end up going with comes down to your own personal preference.

The Towelling Change Robe is made out of 100% 430GSM heavyweight cotton, which is absorbent, very gentle on the skin and great at keeping you warm after getting out of the water. On the other hand, our Microfibre poncho towel enjoys incredible levels of absorbency, being able to hold up four times its own weight in water. It helps you to get dry ultra-fast and dries off very quickly. Both come with a drawcord hood and plenty of pocket space, helping to dry off the whole body.

Incredible For Getting Dry Quickly And Comfortably

A hooded poncho towel from Red is a great way to make sure you’re getting yourself dry quickly and comfortably, and you don’t have to lug around heavy, oversized beach towels to do it. Our beach change robes are light, compact and ultra absorbent - and thanks to the premium microfiber and cotton materials, they’re very comfy too.

Oversized For Plenty Of Room For Changing

A hooded beach towel really does it all. It’s not only great for covering up and getting dry quickly, it's also got a generous oversized cut that makes it perfect for maintaining your privacy while changing without the need for a changing room. It’s great for people who need to get themselves out of wetsuits after a surfing or SUP session, or anyone who simply prefers the freedom to get changed wherever, whenever.

Extra Protection From UV

The summer sun is no joke, and while the sunshine on our beaches is a real treat, you need to make sure you’re properly protecting yourself from UV rays. That means you need to have a good sunscreen on hand at all times, but a little extra protection doesn’t hurt. Thanks to the high percentage of polyester in a microfiber changing robe and the thick 430GSM cotton in the towelling robe, our hooded beach towel range is great at helping to keep you safe from UV, especially with the hood offering protection for vulnerable spots on your head and neck.

Great For Adults And Kids Alike

Our hooded beach towel selection isn’t just for adults either. We’ve got both the Towelling Change Robe and the Quick-Dry Microfibre Change Robe available in kids' sizes, too! With all the same great design features of their adult counterparts, these great kids’ hooded towels will allow you to make sure the whole family is properly kitted out for the beach this summer.
