PONCHO

Changing Robes & Sailing Ponchos

Getting changed on the beach or on the pontoon after a race, sheltered from the wind and from prying eyes, is much easier with a technical poncho. Negrinautica changing robes and sailing ponchos wrap the sailor in a warm insulating layer right after coming off the water, helping the body recover temperature and preventing the cold shocks typical of classes such as ILCA (Laser), 470, 49er and Optimist.

The models combine fast-drying towelling or fleece linings, water-repellent outer shells and a large hood to cover head and neck. The roomy cut lets you take off your wetsuit and wet gear in total comfort, while front pockets and long sleeves provide extra protection and a warm spot to tuck in numb hands.

How to choose the right robe? For winter go for thick fleece models with a windproof outer; for mid-seasons lighter towelling versions work well. Check the length, which should reach the knee, and prefer fabrics that dry quickly so you can reuse them several times in the same day.

Negrinautica selects changing robes and ponchos from the best technical brands such as Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto, designed for the sailor's comfort after every outing. Recover quickly and get back on the water at your best.
