Drawing inspiration from Hawaiʻi's beloved palaka pattern, the Palaka HI Quick-Dry Changing Poncho brings a classic island staple into a modern outdoor essential. The timeless plaid design reflects generations of local culture while offering a fresh perspective for life spent near the water.

Highly absorbent and quick to dry, the poncho features an oversized fit, hood, kangaroo pocket, and discreet internal changing access. Lightweight and packable, it's built for surf sessions, beach days, and adventures beyond the shoreline.
