Product details
Parents often ask
Does the poncho come with a wet bag?
Yes. This Lesimo Kids Poncho includes a complimentary double-layer wet bag. The waterproof compartment keeps wet items separate, while the second pocket is handy for goggles, sunscreen or other small essentials.
Will my child stay warm after swimming?
The hooded design provides comfortable coverage after swimming and helps protect kids from cool air on the way back to the car or between activities.
Can my child get changed under the poncho?
Yes. The relaxed fit gives kids room and privacy to change out of wet swimwear comfortably, making it practical for the beach, pool and swimming lessons.
Does sand-free fabric absorb water well?
Yes. The absorbent microfibre fabric helps dry wet skin while drying much faster than a traditional cotton towel. Its smooth surface also allows most sand to shake off easily.
What size should I choose?
Small is recommended for children approximately 95–130 cm tall, while Large is recommended for children approximately 125–155 cm tall. Within the overlapping range, choose Small for a closer fit or Large for more room to grow.
How do I wash the poncho?
Machine wash cold with similar colours and avoid bleach or fabric softener. Hang to dry to help maintain the fabric's softness, absorbency and quick-drying performance.
