Slowtide began with a simple observation: the towels available to surfers and outdoor enthusiasts were either boring or poor quality. By partnering with world-renowned artists and photographers, they created a "new canvas" for expression. At The Drop, we trust Slowtide because they exceed Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, ensuring their products are safe and environmentally responsible.
Performance Beach & Travel Towels
Slowtide offers a variety of fabrics tailored to your specific needs:
- The Quick-Dry Series: Made from 100% recycled materials, these towels are highly absorbent, fast-drying, and—most importantly—sand-free. They pack down small, making them the ultimate companion for hiking or international travel.
- The Turkish Series: Lightweight and stylish, these are perfect for a sophisticated beach look or as a decorative throw.
- Classic Cotton: Utilizing premium, sustainably sourced cotton, these heavyweight towels provide maximum plushness and comfort after a long session in the water.
The Changing Poncho: A Surf Essential
No more awkward parking lot towel-changes. Slowtide’s changing robes (or "ponchos") are a game-changer for surfers, swimmers, and paddleboarders. Available in both winter-weight fleece and summer-weight cotton, they provide privacy and warmth while you transition in and out of your wetsuit or swimwear.
Artistic Collaborations and Sustainability
Slowtide is a proud member of the sustainable fashion movement. Their products often feature limited-edition prints from iconic archives like the Grateful Dead, Keith Haring, and modern surf photographers. By using recycled polyester and responsibly sourced cotton, Slowtide ensures that your gear is as kind to the planet as it is to your skin.
