OCOOPA Microfiber Beach Towel Sand Free, Extra Large 71''X32'' Oversized Towels, Lightweight Compact Quick Dry Absorbent Pool Towel for Bath,Camping,Swimming,Travel Accessories

Cute design, quick drying, and doesn’t have that weird “catch your skin” quality that a lot of microfiber towels do. Packs small for travel and stows away in the little included drawstring pouch. Would buy again!

Could it be used as a towel? Yes. Is it like what you use at home every day? No.Personally, I like a fabric more absorbent for a towel, even at the beach. This is a thin flannel-type fabric like what is used to make baby receiving blankets. It’s soft but not fluffy absorbent. It IS absorbent but it’s different feel against your skin. I would use it in a pinch as a towel but would be thinking ICK, NO while doing it.I bought this to use as a beach blanket. This company sells this same product, different prints and sizes, as a beach blanket but I liked this print the best. I sewed sturdy ribbon looped onto the corners so that I could stake it into the sand to keep it from blowing away. Worked perfectly! (Their blanket version already have this.)You are able to shake 99% of the sand off it whether it’s wet or dry. The little that’s left is not problematic at all and much less than what a towel would hold. It also dries quickly, is light to carry, and takes up less space than a traditional beach blanket.The size I purchased is big enough for three people to lay across it. When it’s just me, I fold it in half and still have plenty of room for my bag, book, lunch box,etc.I’ve used it six times and washed it. Still holding up great. Color still looks good!If that changes, I’ll update my review.

Even though there are pictures online, I was shocked at how thin this was. I kept it because I like the size and can use it as a thin layer between me and leather seats in the summer LOL. It arrived right before vacation and I figured that I would try it but would have to get an additional, more traditional towel when we got there. I never got the chance and only used this.It works. It definitely absorbs many times it's weight, but it's a thin weight/thickness, you know what I mean? There's enough material that I just moved it around to get to a drier spot and used that.It dries quickly.Mine didn't have the colors shown for what I picked. Online the colors appear more like bright and jewel tones. I figured that I would somewhat coordinate with my bathing suit but the colors were muted. If I were in a store I would have dug through the selection to find one with the colors I wanted.The attached elastic loop and mesh bag are really nice touches. I used the bag to put my glasses, phone and whatever little stuff I didn't want to misplace in when I had the towel spread out on the lawn chair.I didn't use it at the beach (thanks stomach bug on vacation) but it would be ideal for that since sand wouldn't stick to it.Last thing: I noticed that when it was wrapped around my wet body that it kept me warmer than a traditional towel would have. That's a plus!

This towel sucks the moisture off you and your bathing suit. It’s light and compact, making hauling to the beach or pool easy. Simple to wash in a machine and then hang dry. We have replaced all our beach towels!

I now have this towel I'm 2 sizes. I love that it folds/rolls up to nothing and is super absorbent. Love the design of the graphics, love the softness. Love the elastic band sewn into it so when you fold and roll it up, it stays put. Even when wet, it does take up a lot of space in my bag.It's especially great for training in Triathlon as it's a great training matt. To eliminate sand getting in the least amount of places as possible. I have the bath towel size and the oversized beach blanket size. The bigger one is really great if friends want to share. We can get 6 peopels gear bags and still stand on an edge to put on or take off a wetsuit.Washes perfect. No change to size or shape after 1st wash or 10th wash. Colors don't bleed bit I only wash with like colors.Note on WASHING and CARE:Personally I DO NOT USE Fabric softener. Like on any micro fiber type yoga/Sports towels, I don't use fabric softener as it breaks down the absorption qualities and makes towels feel "greasy". Also, I splurge and use The Laundress Sport Detergent on all my tri, workout and yoga clothes and towels (basically anything with nylon or elastic), and my stuff lasts far longer than people that use harsh detergents. If you invest in nicer quality items, take the tiny bit of extra time to take care of them....then they last longer. I have sports towels and workout clothes that I have used/worn for over 3-5 years and they are just like new! And name brand or generic, check your fabric content and Google The Laundress. You won't be sorry.

We bought several of these in different sizes and patterns for our yearly vacay to the beach. Holy smokes! They absorb like nothing i have ever seen. They are so lightweight, and can be rolled and secured with the elastic band. We had 1 large and 3 small and they took up very little room. Its a bit hard to get them back in the little mesh bag they come in,but we used the bags for other things,like shells, our wallet and hotel cards and phones to keep all together, even a couple of hotdogs wrapped in foil! We hung them over the balcony railing and used the elastic band to secure them so they didnt blow away, and it gave a bit more privacy. Even used one for a blanket for my son when he was chilly driving down. Oh and yes, the sand just shook off effortlessly. Just great overall!Update☆☆☆Still going strong!! Holding up great two years later!! 7/14/23

The media could not be loaded. This is perfect for everyday use on the beach. I went to Puerto Rico for 9 days and spent 6 at the beach. I was looking for a colorful beach towel to match my bathing suits. Not only do you get 2 for 1 on the design, this thing is super absorbent and DOES NOT retain sand. I skeptical at first, but I didn’t even use the “real beach towel” I brought. It’s more like a smooth, velvety texture and dries really quickly. Even when I got out of the water and laid on it, it absorbed the water out of my bathing suit. Very lightweight for travel and folds compact nicely. Highly recommend!
