Quick-Drying and Lightweight 'OCEAN' Surf Poncho or Beach Poncho - rPET
- Made of recycled plastic bottles
- Order before 23:00 = ship today.
- With your purchase, you support the Local Ocean Conservation
Our generous new surf poncho is made from 100% recycled plastic. Here are six reasons why this is a great idea:
- Lightweight and compact: Ideal for on the go, traveling, or heading to the beach, as it fits in any bag, backpack, or suitcase.
- Quickly warm & change: Easily put it on over wet swimwear or a wetsuit to stay warm. Then, you can change comfortably.
- Also usable as a beach towel: Unfasten the snap buttons and lay the poncho out on the beach to use it as a towel. Or, you can use the poncho to dry off.
- Highly absorbent: Absorbs moisture very well and dries quickly.
- Sand-free: Doesn’t trap sand.
- Sustainable purchase: You contribute directly to reducing plastic in the ocean and promoting a sustainable world. You also support our good cause, as we donate 5% of our profits to Local Ocean Conservation.
Size: one size, generous fit. Fits everyone. Suitable for both men and women. Especially ideal for sizes S/M and L/XL.
Feels soft: yes, really, because recycled plastic is surprisingly woven into (silk) soft and flexible surf ponchos.
REPREVE certificate: each poncho is guaranteed to be made from 20 to 24 recycled plastic bottles. Through a special process, polyester yarns are made from these, and the durable microfiber ponchos are woven (80% polyester and 20% polyamide).
Absorbent: the poncho absorbs up to 1 liter of moisture. This makes it ideal for when you come out of the water, or for the sauna, swimming pool, or after showering.
Super fast drying on the clothesline
In a cute backpack: the poncho is packed in a handy matching backpack with a drawstring, made from the same material as the poncho. We intentionally do not pack it in plastic.
Washing instructions: wash the poncho at 30°C. Hang it up and it will dry quickly.

- What is the product made of? The SooBluu is made of microfiber consisting of 80% recycled polyester yarns and 20% polyamide. The polyester yarns are made from recycled plastic, also known as rPET. This plastic waste is collected in China and melted down into polyester yarns through a special production process.
- What is REPREVE? SooBluu is Repreve certified, meaning there is actual recycled plastic involved.
- What are the washing instructions? We recommend washing our towels (or poncho) at 30 degrees Celsius. Hang to dry, as the towel dries quickly. Definitely do not tumble dry or iron.
- Does the towel dry well? Absolutely. These towels absorb much more moisture than a regular towel or beach towel.
- Is the towel soft? The towels are surprisingly soft, almost silky. And they feel very smooth and slick. So easy to fold, hardly crease, and the sand slides right off.
- Do the colors stay nice? Yes, the printing quality is really top-notch. So you'll enjoy your purchase for years!
- What is the weight of the towel? It is indicated in the images. The weight of the 100×160 cm towel is only 340 grams. The XL beach towel of 100x190 cm weighs approximately 400 grams. This is considerably lighter than a standard bath towel or other travel towels (with waffle structure) on the market.
- Where is SooBluu made? We work with a small-scale factory in China. This company is managed by a nice Chinese lady. And we have thoroughly investigated whether this company meets all mandatory working conditions. In addition, they have all the required certificates, including REPREVE. Unfortunately, the production of SooBluu is not yet feasible in Europe. The PET bottles are also collected and processed in Asia.
- What is the charity? By purchasing the towel, you directly support Local Ocean Conservation. This is a local organization in Kenya for the protection of sea turtles.
