Microfiber Beach Towel

So, I was fairly dubious after receiving this item that is would successfully serve as a beach towel, since it looked and felt more like a blanket (and an unfamiliarly textured one at that). My initial impression could not have been further from reality.The towel had great absorption capabilities as promised but beyond that, it simply provided a whole new experience of toweling off at the beach!The silky and thin microfiber fabric efficiently whisked sand away when drying and instead of feeling the sand rub into our skin like sandpaper while drying off (like all other towels feel) something about this fabric seemed to lift the sand up off the skin first, and you never felt the sand again when drying! It felt so good on our skin that even as I was sunning myself, I would use the towel to wipe my face and chest and NEVER felt that scratchy sand feeling. I used it even when I didn't have a real need, just because it felt so nice on my skin!Even on a super windy day, when sand was blowing into everything and getting into every single crevice, covering all surfaces with a thin and invisible layer of sand, a quick wipe with this towel and it was gone! Sunglasses, water bottles, sunscreen containers, you name it, we tried it, always with success!We were actually giddy with amazement and it became a game on the beach, to see if someone could find an item that the towel couldn't perfectly clean with one swipe. The towel won. BTW it is hands down the BEST for cleaning phone and tablet screens of not just sand but fingerprints, even greasy or sticky fingerprints! Yay! Seriously, what kind of miracle microfiber IS THIS?!My mother in law noticed the towel and after inspecting it with suspicion, she seemed underwhelmed as I rattled on and on about the wonders of "The towel". But, when my 7 yr old ran past her knocking sand on to her iced beverage cup (covered in condensation), she grabbed a corner of the towel to clean it, looked back at the towel, then at the cup and threw her head back and howled laughing. She said " Now I see what all the fuss is about." Then she tried to steal my new best friend " The Towel"Besides its miracle absorption and sand removing tenacity, I have to say how I LOVE how tiny I can fold it up! It is so lightweight and thin, that I could actually take it anywhere.At night, we liked to walk to the beach to fly kites, look for shells, watch the stars come out etc. But no one wanted to haul the beach gear back down, not even just a towel or two to sit on, we had already DONE that battle during the day! Once again, " The Towel" was the answer! I simply rolled it up and slipped it into my small cross body purse and once we got to the beach and layed it out, it was big enough for me, my husband and my 7 yr old to sit on and watch the waves and relax. A quick shake and it released every grain of sand, allowing me to roll it right back up and put it back into my purse, no worries of sand getting into my lipstick or anything else in my purse. I just can't wrap my head around how awesome this thing is!Oh, and the quick drying is impossible to understand until you have seen it. It would be soaked to the point of needing to be wrung out, but I would lay it over my beach chair in the sun, and in the time I took a quick jaunt up to the boardwalk for a smoothy and returned, my buddy "The Towel" was dry and warm and ready for me to commence with lazy beach lounging.I know this is kind of an over the top review BUT this is kind of an over the top product, so it deserves it.The customer service provided by Venture 4th was also just amazing. They had sent an email to make sure we were satisfied with our purchase. At the time, we had not used it yet, however I was concerned the item was mislabeled on Amazon as it appeared to be more of a beach blanket than a towel. The owner of the company replied personally and explained it is a towel, just something new that I was unfamiliar with. She assured me the towel would be absorbent and she was confident I would be satisfied if I gave it a chance. And if after using it, if I was not 100% satisfied she would provide a full refund immediately. That was impressive, that she would allow me to use it on vacation and if it didn't meet my expectations it would be refunded?!? i couldn't turn that offer down and I promised her a full review once I had a chance to really use it. As you can see, I certainly do not need a refund. I am ordering more for the rest of the family as well as for Christmas gifts for my beach loving friends and family. This is an absolute WINNER!To Venture 4th: Thank you for this fantastic product. It has made my life a bit easier, and in this day and age that is shockingly rare and sincerely appreciated.

If you’re looking for a compact, travel-friendly towel, don’t hesitate! This towel is perfect for a trip because it’s very compact, and it dries quickly. It’s amazing in a gym bag because it’s not bulky. My family needs to streamline packing for our beach trips and we are ordering one of these for each person. It makes beach towel packing so much more efficient, which is important because we don’t have much room in our trunk for extras on beach road trips. The fabric feels like the type that won’t hold sand from the beach, which is a huge bonus because I hate when we bring sand into our beach rentals and it gets all over the floors and the furniture. My husband wants a few to use in his gym bag. The towels are different than traditional terry cloth towels, but SO soft, and packaged very nicely, with a tissue paper liner and a convenient carrying bag. Do yourself a favor and order this towel now!

I love this towel! It gets 4.5 stars instead of five because I was expecting it to be a smidge bigger for being called an XL towel, and I got a smudge on the white part that doesnt want to come out in the wash : ( . Other than that- the towel is great! It dries me well enough to throw on a beach cover (or fully change into new dry clothes). The towel itself dries fairly quickly if you lay it out or hang it up. It is very easy to roll it up to fit back inside of its case- and the case itself can be clipped to a backpack by its little loop! Overall- definitely a good buy : )

I bought 3 of these towers and they are absolutely fantastic. I gave one to my husband who is very tall and it’s the perfect length. He can lay on it comfortably without his feet hanging off the edge. This towel will be perfect for when we go to the beach. He really liked the design as well, and it is duel-sided, so you can turn it over for a Completely different look. It’s a large towel but it rolls up nice and tight because of the thin but durable microfiber material. It’s very convenient because with the extra space, we can fit more snacks on our day out to the coastline. The microfiber has less material but soaks up just as much water as my old beach towels, and dries quicker too! By the time we are packed up, the towel is dry so we don’t have to lug around a heavy wet towel in our beach bag.I love mine as well since can do my yoga anywhere and I don’t have to take my large, bulky mat. It’s convenient, lightweight and space-saving. This long towel still rolls up nice and compact and I feel comfortable carrying it anywhere since I can throw it in my backpack. It’s very soft. I also don’t have to worry about a cold, damp, heavy towel getting moldy in my car ever again. My sister loved the Flamingo print and demanded I show her where I got it. It’s a great pattern to take to the beach and we also take it to her kid’s baseball games since you can fold it up and sit more comfortably on the bleachers.

First two things to know about this towel is that it’s really beautiful and very soft! I absolutely love the design with the palm leaves…so pretty! And the size is really nice - long enough to cover your lounger and still have enough to drape over the top to be secured with towel clips or bands. There are numerous designs to choose from, and while it would be nice to have the same design on both sides, the “flip side” has a nice geometric design in coordinating colors.The reason I almost missed out was because of the care instructions. They indicate that you cannot put these in a clothes dryer, which I found very odd for a towel. After contacting the company about my concern, they were very responsive and explained that the towels can be put in the dryer, but only on low heat or air dry. They said to never use high heat to dry them, as the fibers would actually melt. Since the listing says “no dryer”, it might be a good idea to update that information so buyers know they actually can use a dryer on low or no heat without fear of ruining the towel.I know of one of their competitors that make a similar towel using recycled plastic bottles, which would make the concept of melting under high heat understandable. I couldn’t find any information on their listing that indicated they are also using this material for their towels, but if they are, it might be good to advertise that, especially for those trying to purchase eco-friendly goods.I followed the instructions of washing in cool water with liquid detergent, no softener (reduces any towel’s ability to absorb water) and then tumble dried on low heat. It came out of the dryer looking as beautiful as before!As far as folding the towel back into the nice included carrying pouch, it is a bit tricky. I found that when first removing it from the pouch, it’s easier if you fold down the top mesh part (like you’re peeling a banana) and remove the towel leaving the pouch folded back on itself. Then when folding the towel to reinsert it, fold the towel in half 3 times, then fold 2 times on the opposite ends toward each other, then roll tightly and reinsert into the pouch. Hopefully the pictures and short video will help.I applaud the company for being so responsive and showing such care over a customer’s concerns, and I will definitely be a repeat customer!
