Christy 'Take Away' Striped Heritage Style Beach Towel - Blue

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 340 GSM rating indicates a medium-lightweight towel, designed to be less bulky and dry faster than heavier, more plush towels (which might be 500 GSM or higher).

The towel is made from materials suitable for general use. If you have specific skin sensitivities, always test products first or consult with a dermatologist.

The 'Take Away' design emphasizes compactness. It rolls neatly into a small cylinder, significantly reducing its volume compared to traditional beach towels, making it easy to pack.

Yes, its lightweight and quick-drying properties make it suitable for various travel needs, such as a gym towel or a general-purpose travel companion.

The terry back is designed to make it harder for sand particles to embed themselves in the fabric. This means less sand is transferred to your belongings and back home.

The contrasting reverse provides a stylistic element, offering a different look and feel on each side of the towel, allowing for aesthetic preference.

While designed for quick drying, its absorbency is balanced for practicality. It effectively absorbs moisture after swimming, but its lighter weight means it might not hold as much water as a heavier, more absorbent towel.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce absorbency and may contribute to stiffness over time. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.

Ensure the sand-resistant side (terry back) is facing downwards on the sand. Shake the towel vigorously outdoors before folding to remove loose particles.

Wash the towel in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded, which can cause friction and premature fading.
