SwimSoft Ponchos The new SwimSoft Poncho from leading textiles manufacturer BC Softwear is made with SupremeSoft fabric for fast drying and energy-saving benefits. With a lightweight plushness on the exterior and absorbent towelling on the inside for maximum comfort, the poncho is made in a generous size to give wearers full coverage. Under-arm and side slits allow for discrete changing and a hood provides added warmth. Barbara Cooke A logo or plain text can also be embroidered onto the unisex garment which comes in Slate Grey for adults and children, and Pebble for adults only. “As with every product we develop, our inspiration always stems from initial customer interest,” says Barbara Cooke, BC Softwear founder and CEO. “The poncho was also inspired by a wild swim in Cornwall during SpaFest in 2019, when a group of spa industry friends took an early morning dip and we observed how nice it would have been to have a bespoke post-swim robe to put on. “With the trend rapidly developing for wild swimming – and outdoor river, lake and beach activities being offered by a number of spa and hotel operators – this reaffirmed our thinking that the towelling poncho would be widely welcomed.” www.bcsoftwear.co.uk
