Extra Large Beach Towel 200x90cm - Quick Dry, Sand Free Rainbow Skies

Our review of the Extra Large Beach Towel 200x90cm - Rainbow Skies focuses on travellers, beachgoers and anyone who needs a lightweight, fast-drying towel that packs small but covers big. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of generous size and real-world convenience: at 200x90cm it covers a lounger or wraps around an adult, yet the 220gsm suede-like fabric made from 100% recycled material folds down to a compact, travel-friendly bundle and dries much faster than cotton. For anyone tired of carrying heavy, sandy cotton towels this one simplifies beach days and travel.

Key Features

• Extra large size: The 200x90cm dimension gives full coverage on a sun lounger or allows comfortable wrapping after a swim.
• Sand free design: The fabric sheds sand with a quick shake so you leave the beach, not the sand, behind.
• Quick drying: The suede-like 220gsm fabric dries about three times faster than standard cotton towels to avoid unpleasant damp smells.
• Eco friendly: Made from 100% recycled fibres (a mix of polyester and polyamide) for a softer feel with a reduced environmental footprint.
• Compact and lightweight: Thin, strong construction compresses to a small packed size that is easier to carry for travel and pool use.

Who It's For

This towel suits frequent beach users, travellers, and pool swimmers who need a generous surface area without the bulk and slow drying of cotton. Its sand-repellent surface and fast-dry properties make it especially useful for family beach days and overnight trips where luggage space and drying time matter.

Those who prefer a plush, thick bath towel for home use or who want heavy, highpile luxury should look elsewhere; this towel's shammy-like, suede texture is designed for performance, not thick cushioning. Also, if you need a hair-drying or gym towel in a very small format, the extra-large size will be overkill.

Pros & Cons

• Made from 100% recycled material for an environmentally conscious choice.

Cons
