This International Women’s Day, we’re not just celebrating women—we’re activating action. That’s why we’re launching something special—a collaboration that champions women in adventure, entrepreneurship, and community.
Introducing the Accelerate Adventure Poncho, a limited-edition, co-created towel poncho from Iksplor and Surreal Baja. Designed by two women-owned brands and handcrafted by low-income women artisans in Baja California Sur, Mexico. This poncho isn't just about staying warm after a surf session—it’s about empowering women worldwide.
Iksplor X SurReal Alpenglow Poncho & Deep Sea Poncho
Born from Adventure, Built for the Elements
Whether you’re coming out of the ocean, drying off from a lake swim, or warming up after a winter hot spring soak, this poncho is made for year-round adventure that is sure to last year season after season.
-
All-Season Functionality – Perfect for beach days, surf trips, lake swims, hot springs, cold dips and post-adventure warmth in winter.
-
Thoughtful Design – The interior hood lining is crafted in Iksplor’s Evergreen and Yellowstone merino wool colors, so it pairs seamlessly with our merino baselayers and joggers.
-
Adventure-Ready Features – The Grown-Up poncho includes a hidden key pocket and changing pockets for ultimate convenience.
- Inclusive Sizing - Sizing for the whole family in sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4. Size 1 is perfect for toddlers to 4 years old. Size 2 is great for 5 years to 10 years old. Size 3 is S/M adult sizing and Size 4 is L/XL adult sizing.
“My kids & I love wearing these as soon as they’re done in the sun, dipping in the hot springs or after playing at the pool. We get so many compliments and everyone always wants to know where we found them! We’re so excited to be bringing these SurReal towel ponchos to our incredible Iksplor customers with our Iksplor 100% merino wool hood lining. The kids and I wear them after every water based adventure most often over our merino wool layers and joggers. ”— Karissa Akin, Co-Founder of Iksplor
Limited Edition – Don’t Miss Out!
With only 25 ponchos per color, this is an exclusive drop. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! We hope this will lead to future collabs with SurReal Baja, but for now we can ensure you these are exclusive and these colors won't be released again!

This International Women’s Day, we’re taking the 2025 theme—Activate Action— to heart. We believe adventure should lift everyone up.
