ABSTRACT:
A garment which may be employed as a robe or alternatively, as a towel, is disclosed. The garment comprises a generally rectangular piece of toweling material having a predetemined length and width wherein the length is greater than the width. A narrow slit extends in the direction of the length approximately midway across the width of the garment, thus providing an opening for the head of a wearer when the garment is worn as a robe. The article further includes a second piece of material which is attached to the garment and which serves as a hood when the garment is employed as robe. The second piece of material is sized and configured so as to allow it to cover the slit when the garment is used as a towel, such as a beach towel, to minimize user discomfort due to sand contact. Fasteners may be employed to releasably connect the sides of the garment when it is used as a robe.
