Kuvrup by Sevnforty

The Kuvrup

The Kuvrup is made of cotton woven terry. The seams are well stitched together and the overall fabrication is solid.

The Kuvrup offers plenty of space inside for you to move around. We never felt restrained inside the Kuvrup when putting on or taking off a wetsuit. With the space you can work with your arms inside the Kuvrup or outside. There's even enough room to take off or put on your wetsuit top under the Kuvrup. Although, it's easier and faster to do it outside of the Kuvrup, which will leave you open to the cold. The face towel is a nice touch to the Kuvrup, but there's so much material that you really don't need it. Using the Kuvrup to change makes changing marginally easier for veteran surfers since you won't have to worry about your towel falling. For newer surfers who haven't gotten used to changing in a towel, this has to be a lot easier. The Kuvrup does a good job shielding your body (head down to your calves) from the cold and wind. On the downside, the large arm sleeves will allow a draft through if you're facing the wrong direction. But overall the Kuvrup keeps you protected from the wind while drying you off, minimizing any heat wicked away by the cold water.

Durability

The Kuvrup is pretty durable, we've used it for a year now without any tears or significant fraying. After a few wash cycles there'll be some minor fraying like a normal towel.

Conclusion

The Kuvrup is a nice vestibule when moving from street clothes to wetsuit and back. The price is about double that of a large beach towel. But unlike a large beach towel, you'll be able to cover yourself entirely while you change. If you surf in air temperatures of 50 and below, the Kuvrup is definitely worth the premium.
