Three sizes: baby (from around 6 months, with a fitted hood so it doesn’t fall over the eyes), kids (3 to 10 years, knee-length to protect against the wind), and adult (wide enough to slip over a UV-protective wetsuit or a wet swimsuit, ideal after surfing or paddleboarding). All three are made from thick terry cloth with a generous fit — better to be loose than tight.

Definitely. A standard terry towel retains moisture for hours, especially in a bag or a boot. Our microfibre towels absorb around three times their weight in water, then dry in twenty to thirty minutes in the open air. They take up a third of the space in your bag — handy when there are several of you or when you’re moving between the beach and the pool.

It’s the most versatile accessory in the range and often the one most people forget. Certified UPF 50+ (blocks over 97% of UV rays), it can be worn as a classic neck gaiter to protect the most exposed areas of the body (nape of the neck, décolletage and behind the ears), pulled up over the lower face like a scarf when the sun is beating down, as a headband for wet hair after a swim, or even on the wrist. It is resistant to chlorine, salt and sun cream, and its tight weave prevents sand from getting through.
