Would this make a good towel to place over the sun deck on a boat for the kids to get in and out onto? i need something absorbent.

I am very impressed with the absorbancy of this product. Also very compact and space is at a premium on a boat, so yes.

It's not a towel. It doesn't absorb. It's more of a scrub cloth. Think of a flexible loofa. Great for lifting dead skin.

Yes. I like them very well. A great deal for the money. One reason that towels lose their absorbency, is due to fabric softener, which coats the towels and they are no longer absorbent. If you stay away from the fabric softener, they will last a long time.

I wouldn't recommend I wet towel, but I use it for a wet face rag and loofas. No problem so far!

It is made of plastic, I wouldn't say it hard plastic, so the wind might move out unless you have it anchored down. But of I had beach towels, etc. often, I would use it on deck. It is small for sheets. I use it for hand wash items & swathes. Good luck!

I am guessing the spaces would be too small for a substantial bath towel. We have this in a second home, so I am unable to measure exact spaces at this time. Great thought though. Good luck.

It is a very thin piece of cloth so I do not think it would help much with sun. It is not reflective and might actually absorb sun.

I think it's size would do a wash cloth size. it's probably too small to do a hand towel

What a great idea! They towels should hold up in the water. I sometimes wet them and use to wipe down bathroom sink area. They don't shred or fall apart but then I don't leave them sitting in water, either. They are nice and large, when unfolded.

I use mine as a pool towel, but it doubles as a sarong too. I love it. Dries so much faster than a regular towel.

It is a towel/blanket. Supposed to be pretty absorbant and dries quickly. That said, I've never used mine as a towel; I've only used it as a blanket that I bring with to yoga class. It is not a bathrobe--not sure why they would mention that?

Yes, This would be good for outdoor chairs, but I might try to get 3" thick for benches or 2 person swings, but that's just a personal preference. I don't think it's water resistant though, so I would use a more water-resistant fabric/scotchgard or bring it in out of the rain.

No, I have not used The Absorber Chamois as a cooling towel. It absorbs water quickly. Great for drying car or boat.

It is very absorbent, and it dries well. It is nothing like what you think a towel would be, but it is big and it works well, and is lightweight.

I have about 5 of these and use them primarily for bath towels (they are light, absorbent, and fast drying) but have also used them for: the beach, a scarf, and a table covering. While they can be used for a variety of different things, I'm not sure bath robe is a fitting description. They are quite large though, so are a comfy post bath wrap around - perhaps that's what is meant?

It's an awesome towel that absorbs moisture without making the towel a big, soggy mess. It microfiber and I assure you that you won't be disappointed with your purchase. I love the towel.

I agree with the previous answers! It is a soft microfiber and it folds up smaller than most bath towels.
