I have the towel ordered as beach towel, because I wanted to have something durable but lightweight, space saving, since I often travel with hand luggage only on vacation. Despite its size, the towel is really easy, space-saving and absorbent. The advantage of on the beach (against terry towels) is that sand is relatively easy to shake off. In addition, the cloth dries quickly. The only drawback: The cloth is a small dirt magnet - even though I was only on the beach (4 days), the cloth was relatively dirty afterwards what has never happened to me with a normal terry cloth so. Can of course be easily washed out, so I never regret the purchase decision and can recommend the towel definitely.
