VENTURE 4TH Microfiber Beach Towel: Quick-Dry, Compact, Sand-Free, Absorbent, Sandproof and Lightweight - Perfect for Camping, Beach, and Roadtrips (Striped Starfish Design | 35x78 inches)

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.

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.

Haven’t used it at beach yet, but have used it as a bath towel. Colors are vibrant. Softer after a wash. You need to dab on body rather than wipe as you would with terrycloth towel, but definitely dries you off. I dry hair as usual. Just ordered a regular bath size for regular use. Not as luxurious as soft towel, but still definitely effective. Love how quickly it dries. Will opt for these at beach or camping.

This product is an excellent beach towel. I would have given it higher ratings but I use it after my morning swim to dry off.It is incredibly lightweight! A great size. Reasonable but not great absorbency. This towel is so large I'm able to dry off after my shower and capture most of the water. I then finish with a standard soft more absorbent towel. That absorbent towel used to get too wet after the shower even though it was also a large beach towel. So I like to remove most of the water with the Ultra and then finish with the standard towel.This product works for me and it is exactly as advertised. Even though I live in St. Pete Florida I don't spend the days at the beach anymore. Melanoma! So I only go to the beach to walk but I wish I had this towel back in the day when I would lay out on the beach. It doesn't allow sand and debris to stick.

I bought this for a trip to Florida. I like the design! It’s so cute! I got the flamingo design. It’s reversible with a pattern on the other side. It rolls up compactly into a small bag which is included. I used it at the hotel pool. It was fairly wet when returning to room. I hung it on a hanger in the closet and it dried quickly.

Beach towel as pictured & described - well-made, very good quality, shipping secure & fast. Excellent buy.

There are white spots on a few of the stripes. It almost looks like it was splashed with bleach. I like the softness and absorbency and how large it is yet stores so compactly. However I paid for a quality item and this one is flawed.

This is large, colorful and absorbent! Will be using this all summmer!!

Ideal para la playa, compacta, absorbente y divina

Je suis contente de mon achat

Seca bien, esta bonita y es de buena calidad. Algo cara para lo que es.

We've got almost all the colours : red, yellow, navy and green. Lavender and light blue are next. Don't hesitate to buy them, you won't be disappointed. The colours are vibrant and they are very absorbent.

Si absorbe muy bien
