SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS
VERY IMPORTANT – PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Our towels are made to be oversized in length and width as they are functional garments to get changed under in a public space.
You need to consider both the length and the width.
The length of the towel will be from your shoulder hanging down.
The ideal length is 10cm below your knee.

If your sole purpose is to change in a public area then bigger makes it easier to change and less possibility of ‘flashing’.
If your sole purpose is just to use it as a cover-up for going to and from the gym or aqua aerobics, or walking home from the tidal pools then a smaller size will be sufficient.
