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.

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

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.

Sorry...the ones I purchased are not very absorbent, even after washing. the matching washcloths are not great either.

It is a cloth outside with a super absorbant inside. Probably good for minor not major incidents.

No. This towel is for scrubbing and exfoliating one's skin; used like a luffa.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

I'm sure there is, check here on amazon. I didn't like to use the towel at first but got used to it. I use an absorbent towel and works great!

Maybe a little, but if you leave it in the sun the water will definitely get warm. It's thin and meant to be very lightweight, so I wouldn't say insulation is it's primary purpose.

I believe they would work for that purpose. Very nice towels in my opinion.

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.

I don't think so. The towel is about the size of a hand towel, but not as thick. I think that your weight on the towel would make it stable. Sorry that I could not be more help.

Yes though I use them to start the tanning process before going to the beach or outside activities. The towels work great for getting that summer glow in the winter months. One word of caution - Apply in a circular motion as well as up and down to avoid that "streak" look. Also allow to dry before getting dressed especially if you are wearing white.

There are also very nice, open weave durable shade sails available. Would be cooler for your kennel, but not waterproof. That's what I have on my deck, and it's lovely.

I would add,if you sew two together you have a much better towel for use. They do absorb well,not almost repel water like some of the new fancy ones. I would think the company might consider offering in two sizes .

Not, this is a foam sheet. It would absorb water unless covered with something. It would probably dry out quickly.

No I took on vacation on the cruise to use on the beach and it was great !!! I love this towel !! I'm sure it would work for yoga but it's long .
