SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS
VERY IMPORTANT – PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Our towels are made to be over-sized in length and width as they are functional garments for the purpose of getting changed under them 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.
Ideal length is 10 cm 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 gym or aqua aerobics, or walking home from the tidal pools then a smaller size will be sufficient.
