The former Models & Surf hooded surf poncho combined a towel-like interior with a velvet exterior. It was described as a wetsuit changing poncho for beach and pool use. This page preserves the original construction and sizing details rather than a current retail offer.

Original measurements

The catalogue listed a 110 cm length and a 75 cm chest width. It did not provide a body-size chart or explain the chest-width measurement method. These are the original garment figures, not a tailored fit guarantee for every wearer.

The listed 340 GSM is a fabric-weight figure in grams per square metre. It is not the weight of the complete poncho. No complete garment weight was supplied in the recovered description.

Three different fabric components

The original listing describes the interior as 100% cotton terry cloth. Terry cloth has a looped surface associated with towel construction. That cotton description applies to the interior, not necessarily to every component of the garment.

The exterior was described as velvet fabric. The recovered listing does not identify its fibre composition, so this reference does not describe the entire poncho as 100% cotton.

The hood was lined with suede-style microfiber, with orange or pink details. This was a microfiber textile described as having a suede-like feel; the listing did not describe it as animal suede.

Hood, drawstring and pocket

A hood drawstring and a kangaroo pocket were part of the original design. The catalogue photographs show the colour details, shape and pocket placement. The original colour options were orange and pink.

The recovered description did not include care-label instructions or independent absorption testing. Promotional comparisons and claims that the fabric would suit every skin type have therefore been left out of this equipment reference.
