ION Poncho Grom

Care instructions: Machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use regular detergent without bleach, and avoid fabric softener to preserve the cotton’s absorbency.

Drying: Let the poncho air-dry, preferably hanging or laid flat. Avoid the tumble dryer, as heat can cause the cotton fabric to shrink and lose its shape. Never wring it hard - instead, roll it in a towel to remove excess water.

Storage: Make sure the poncho is completely dry before putting it away, as moisture can cause mold and odors. Store it somewhere dry and well-ventilated, for example folded in a closet or hanging up - not in a wet gear bag or car.

Good to know: Shake off sand and dirt after each session, and rinse the poncho with clean water if it has been in salt water or chlorinated water. Small stains can be removed with a damp cloth and mild soap.

What is the ION Poncho Grom?

It’s a changing poncho and beach towel in one, made especially for juniors who need to stay warm and have a discreet place to change after water activities like surfing, kitesurf, wakeboarding, or winter swimming.

What size does the Poncho Grom fit?

The poncho comes in a special Grom size that fits children about 115 to 155 cm tall. If your child is within this height range, the poncho gives them plenty of room to change under it.

What material is the poncho made of?

It’s made from 100% soft cotton that feels comfortable against the skin, absorbs water effectively, and dries quickly after use.

Can you change clothes in the poncho?

Yes. The poncho works as a mobile changing room, and the side openings make it easy to take off and put on a wetsuit or swimwear underneath.

What do you use the Poncho Grom for?

It’s ideal after surfing, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, SUP, swimming, or winter swimming - as a warm layer, towel, and changing room at the beach, by the lake, or at the pool.

How do I wash the poncho?

Machine-wash it at a low temperature on a gentle cycle, and let it air-dry. Avoid the tumble dryer and fabric softener so the cotton retains its absorbency and fit.

Why choose a junior poncho instead of a regular poncho?

The Grom size is tailored to children’s height, so the poncho doesn’t hang all the way down to their feet or feel too heavy, while still being roomy enough to change in.
