Would this make a good towel to place over the sun deck on a boat for the kids to get in and out onto? i need something absorbent.

I am very impressed with the absorbancy of this product. Also very compact and space is at a premium on a boat, so yes.

It is a towel/blanket. Supposed to be pretty absorbant and dries quickly. That said, I've never used mine as a towel; I've only used it as a blanket that I bring with to yoga class. It is not a bathrobe--not sure why they would mention that?

I agree with the previous answers! It is a soft microfiber and it folds up smaller than most bath towels.

Yes! Just make sure you roll it up a little bit. The towel may peek out a little from the top but it shouldn't be too much over the edge.

I would not recommend this for a deck for a few reasons: 1. It is very soft, even when cured. It would handle the weather great, but would be destroyed by foot traffic very quickly. 2. It is a High Gloss (think glasslike) finish and I would think VERY slippery when wet. 3. It is very expensive, and you'd need multiple (8+) coats to build it up. I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have a different product suitable to your needs.

As stated in the top of the description:"MULTIPURPOSE USE - Large size offers full-coverage in the home bathroom, and doubles as a large beach towel."However, I'd love to know what you would consider to NOT be suitable as a beach towel. I believe we're allowed to take our towels wherever we want, even Homeland Security doesn't seem to care about towels yet.

No. Not at all. (the other answer-ers must not have the same towel as I have). It is not thick enough (or big enough) to trap body heat (which is the sole purpose of a travel blanket). This is a great emergency towel; good for that purpose and other emergency-related purposes (sling a broken arm, tourniquet, etc). It might be a good travel blanket for your kindergarten-age child...if the plane is not very cold and your child doesn't mind her blanket being too coarse, too wrinkled, and too light.

I think it's size would do a wash cloth size. it's probably too small to do a hand towel

Yes but your towel can't be super thick... If you have an absorbent thin towel I think you would be fine, but if you want to take a big towel and a lunch and drinks and your suit it would be pretty crammed.

i think it would work great. someone told me that putting this on our fiberglass boat, especially the top part of the boat that is exposed to sun constantly, would prevent any type of fiberglass slivers. so far, it's working for us. good luck.

These are not thick towels, but they're super absorbent and quite soft. So they'd work well with little kids.

Good questionThere preety strongBeing from long island I would have to say yes I think there strong enough for a sun shade on a sailboat under moderate wind conditions

I think so - It also holds a lot of water. Look for one thinner less water absorbent.

It is a very thin piece of cloth so I do not think it would help much with sun. It is not reflective and might actually absorb sun.

The Over sized Bath Towel, XXL(39.5"x 71") would probably be a good fit, depending on the size of a person. As far as the microfiber towel, I see nothing wrong with using it for the beach. It would dry someone off much quicker than a cotton towel. Hope this helps, enjoy the beach.

This Turkish towel is multi-functional. It can be used as a towel, an outside blanket, wrapped like a sarong, and many other uses. It is thin, soft, and dries quickly. I am using mine as guest towels for the pool. They take up much less space than beach towels.
