Materials Used in Our Beach Towel Collection
The material of a beach towel plays a major role in how quickly it dries, how compact it folds, and how soft it feels against the skin. Our curated collection uses performance-driven and skin-friendly textiles.
1. Microfibre Beach Towels (Most Popular)
Microfibre beach towels are the best-selling and most versatile option in our collection. It is engineered to deliver superior moisture-wicking capabilities while maintaining a feather-light feel. These towels are designed to absorb water quickly and dry up to three times faster than traditional cotton towels. Despite their full length (typically 70 x 150 cm), they fold down neatly and fits every bag.
2. Cotton Beach Towels
Although microfibre is dominant in our current lineup, cotton towels remain a classic. If comfort is your top priority, our 100% cotton beach towels (available in select stock) offer natural absorbency and soft feel after multiple washes. It has thicker weight and plush texture. Cotton towels are slightly bulkier and slower to dry than microfibre ones but offer unmatched softness for sensitive skin.
3. Poly-Cotton Blend Towels (Occasional Stock)
Some of our beach towel selections are made up of poly-cotton blends. These combine the moisture-wicking qualities of cotton with the strength and wrinkle-resistance of polyester. While they’re less common in our beach towel category, they serve as a budget-friendly and durable alternative for high-traffic or institutional use.
Understanding GSM in Beach Towels
GSM (grams per square metre) is a vital factor in determining the thickness and absorbency of a towel.
