The main difference between the two Ponchos are the materials that are used. The Quick-Dry Poncho is made entirely out of our Quick-Dry towel material. This material is a microfiber material that is made out of post consumer waste (primarily water bottles). This poncho packs well, dries quick, and is perfect for warmer temperature climates. 

The Extra Warm Poncho is made out of our beach towel material which is 100% cotton. This fabric is absorbent, soft, and has more of a heavy towel feel. This towel is perfect for the cooler temperature days as its much thicker than the Quick-Dry poncho to keep you warm. 

The main difference between the Quick-Dry towel and the Beach towel, is the type of fabric that is used. The Quick-Dry towel is a microfiber material that is made from 100% post-consumer waste, primarily plastic water bottles. They are compact and ultra lightweight which makes them dry out incredibly fast.

The Beach towel is made with a super soft and absorbent fabric that is entirely made out of cotton. It's thicker, more plush and has that classic terry cloth feel. 

Most Slowtide products are produced in China in a state of the art factory that is a leader in global sustainability. We also produce some products in the USA, including our Woven Tapestry Blankets. The Slowtide team has traveled the globe in search of the best factories that are both ethically compliant and produce the highest quality towels at a reasonable price. 

Slowtide uses premium, sustainably sourced materials, and best-in-class, ethical factories, applying these sustainable materials and practices to all aspects of the business. We go the extra mile to create premium products that last. All of our printed towels use reactive dye (instead of ink) that dyes the fibers of the yarns, preventing premature fading. All Slowtide towels also have a hanging loop feature for optimum drying.
