Purchased 3 ponchos for my grand children aged 4,5 and 12. Primarily for when we go swimming take poolside with us and pop them on when we are ready to get changed. They are brilliant super absorbent. By the time we are in the changing rooms the towels have basically dried off the little ones leaving just the torso to dry. Anyone taking 2 small children swimming will understand how time consuming/ difficult it is to dry both off at the same time without tears. Just love them and can’t wait to use them on our summer holidays. Also purchased the adult ponchos too great for slipping on when we have finished in the hot tub - thanks dock and bay !
