Not sure if a towelie’s worth it?

“Isn’t it just a fancy towel?”
Nope. It’s a towel plus a change room plus towel all in one.
If you swim outdoors, get changed in car parks, or hate the towel tuck-n-pray method this replaces multiple things with one.

“I already own towels…”
But do they let you get changed anywhere without flashing strangers?

“Is it actually good quality?”
Yep. 100% Turkish cotton known for long fibres, high absorbency, and durability.
Soft when new. Better with age.

“What makes this ethical?”
We use leftover fabric to create hoods and pockets.
Less waste. More intention. Fair wages throughout the supply chain.
Inspired by old Canterbury rugby jerseys that valued function over perfection.

“Will I actually use it?”
If you swim, travel, camp, surf, SHOWER, or adventure — you’ll reach for it constantly.
Most people tell us it becomes their default post-swim uniform.

Towelies are perfect for all adventures and have been designed with functionality in mind. They are a portable changing room that dries you after activities.

Key features:

  • Made out of 100% Turkish Cotton, which means they are super absorbent.
  • They pack up tiny - great for travel
  • They dry really quickly
  • Roomy hoods
  • Short sleeves for easy changing
  • Kangaroo pocket for stashing undies whilst changing or whatever you need to stash
  • Bottom side slits for extra movement while changing
  • The more you wash these, the softer they will get.
  • Designed by STOKEDNZ here in New Zealand.
  • 5 stars: 1278 (96%)
  • 4 stars: 32 (2%)
  • 3 stars: 7 (1%)
  • 2 stars: 4 (0%)

Amazing! Highly recommend

Such amazing towels and last so so well! My eldest son has always had one and ive just sized up when hes grown out of it, used it all summer and for swimming lessons too! My youngest son now also used them and honesty you wouldn't even know they were 5+ years old and been so well used. Have stayed in such great condition and no fading etc! Such great quality and worth the money 100%!

Hi Elise, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear your boys love the towels and that they've lasted so well over the years. Your kind words mean a lot to us. Thanks again for recommending STOKEDNZ!

Everyone needs a towelie!

I love this so much. Perfect for bike rides to the beach over togs & then perfect for riding home again. Also FANTASTIC for travel. I always take 2 with me so that one is in use while the other is getting washed/dried…they also dry super fast

I wish I could live in mine! : )

I was obsessing about these over Christmas, so I got an 'Eclectic - Keryn' one for myself and a 'Marine - Rosie' one for my husband. We have used them all summer long here in Central Coast NSW (Australia). It's so great to rinse off after swimming and put this on for a beach walk or to go to shops in on the way home. I've used mine to get changed under a few times too in remote spots or the beach carpark. It was loose enough and long enough to do the trick and keeps our harsh sun completely off me too. I am quite short (156cm), so the Medium size is perfect for that. It's almost to the ground, but not dragging.

Hi Dani,

Thank you for you review of your eclectic towelie. So thrilled to hear that you and your husband have been enjoying them all summer long and that they have been so versatile. Yay, to sun safety too, gotta be so careful in summer.

Cheers,
Rach :)

Perfect

I bought two Towelies. One for my partner and one for myself. And we are both very stoked (😉) with it.

Love it! Thanks Jack. So glad you both love them :)

Perfect for fast growing children!

Purchased for my son as he has outgrown his adult small but drowns a little in the width of the medium. He LOVES it. Perfect for swim squad, at the beach or changing at school. Our family LOVE our towelies.

This is like music to my ears. Yay, so glad you found one that works for him and bonus that you won't have to buy him another one for years. Kids grow way too fast. So happy you all love your towelies.

Cheers,
Rach :)

I love my towelie ❤️

I’ve had a hooded towel for years and found it so useful - but my towelie is a whole new level of comfort. It’s lighter and longer and just feels so nice to wear at the beach, walking to the hot tub or after a bath.

You look epic. So stoked you love your towelie. Thank you for your review Lesley :)

Best towel ever!!

My must take everywhere! Love that you can get dressed under it like a portable changing room. Dries quickly. Dries your body well. Cool colours!

This is like music to my ears. Thank you for your review Stevie.

Cheers,

We take them EVERYWHERE 🧳 💛

So lucky to have towelies for the whole whānau! We’re a beach fam & they’re especially handy to chuck on after an ocean swim for our short bike ride home. Also take them with us whenever we travel & they’re so perfect for getting the wet togs off & cruising home in towelies. They dry so fast too & are so lightweight, fold up small so real easy to pack in your bag or suitcase 🤩

So happy to hear that they have become a must-have for your family's beach adventures. Thank you so much for the support Mel, you are amazing :) ☀️ Cheers hun, Stella

Awesome Colour❤️

I used my Stoked NZ, hooded towelie lastnight for the first time, as it was a lovely Spring night here in Auckland, so had a spa, and needless to say, I loved my towelie, the colour, quality, size (I’m 5”3 and I’m wearing a medium) I’m a size 14-16, there’s plenty of room to use as changing room.
I’ll be purchasing more for Christmas presents.

Thanks Debbie. You look epic. So glad you love your towelie :)

Perfect travelling companion

Made a detour to Rotorua to pick up my towlie having admired a friends. It has been an essential part of my travelling wardrobe. Perfect for quick change and dry on the beach, dressing gown and general friend as we travel the globe. Softest Turkish cotton and size perfect for changing under without swamping. Love this stripe. So glad we went the extra mile to secure! Went for Medium although normally a small. Loved it so much sent one to a friend in Australia

Hope you are having an amazing time traveeling around! So happy you love your towelie. Thank you for your review.

Cheers,
Rach

New York Towelie!

In New York to attend the UN, I stayed nearby in a cheaper (?) Pod Hotel with a shared bathroom. My 'marine' towelie was lightweight and perfect for trips down the hallway to the bathroom/shower room where there was no room to hang dry clothes. Jandals were a good travel accessory and the towelie front pocket was safe for my plastic swipe card!

Thanks Gretta. Hope you had a lovely time in New York! So glad your towelie was useful on your trip.

Cheers,
Rach

Can't imagine life without it.

My go to everywhere I go. It lives in my car and is a part of all my adventures. I get so many compliments and questions about it 😌
Not only ethically made, soft, convenient but super funky as well.

Love it 😀

Thank you Jo. Love how it lives in your car, ready for all the adventures! So glad you love your towelie.

Cheers,
Rach

Towlies for Octogenarians!

I originally brought the thin towlies but they wouldnt have worked for us oldies, returned easily and brought the terry lined ones with fringes, so much more practible for us and longer too. We used them as dressing gowns while away over summer. Perfect to throw on in mornings when staying with family & friends overnight. Will be great when we go on our island hopping cruise in Oct to wear off the ship with togs underneath. Once I got the hang of it, online shopping and prompt answers to my query was a dream, such lovely people to deal with, other companies could certainly learn a lot from Stokednz in customer service. Thankyou team

Hi Heather,
Thank you so much for the kind words, we really aim to provide top notch service and customer satisfaction. Glad the heavier weight towelies work for you - and thanks for the photo - Love it!

These towelies DO NOT have plastic in them like other brands!

These are so nice being 100% cotton, shit ( sticks , leaves, anything you sit them down on in nature) doesn't stick to them like those other big brand towelies that look cotton but are actually microfiber AIA plastic!

Hi Claire,
Good point about the sticks and debris not sticking to our 100% turkish cotton! And the feel is so much nicer than the microfiber ones. Thanks so much for your review and insight : )
Cheers

Ugly towelie is beautiful

I ordered an ugly towelie for my daughter for Christmas. I chose it because I particularly wanted pink as it's my daughter's favourite colour. Firstly, I was super impressed with how quickly the towelie arrived. Ordered on a Sunday and I got it two days later on the Tuesday. I had to be strong and stop from opening it up completely as I wanted it in pristine condition on Christmas day. My daughter was absolutely delighted. It's perfect. It looks fabulous on and the quality is outstanding. I'm now saving up to get myself one ready for our trip to Hanmer Springs in May.

Hi Averil,
So pretty in pink : ) Thanks for the photo - love it!
Keep up all the good adventuring, and thanks for the review.
