What is a poncho towel?

A poncho towel is a towel the slips over your head, with two arm holes, and a hole for your legs. Some makes also have a handy hood.

These towels allow you to dry off and walk between rooms without having to hold the towel up around your waist or under your arms. They're also ideal for the pool or the beach.

A poncho towel is useful if you are prone to slips and trips, you have difficulty balancing, you have upper or lower limb weakness, or you are one-handed.
