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.

Yes. It will work. I will say there are better towels out there. Look at prana. This one is very slippery even when wet.

No I have not tried it. I was just disappointed in its thickness using this on the beach, however if you want a very lightweight towel this would fit the bill. I don't intend to reorder it but it was a good one for my family to transport to a foreign destination as it took up little luggage space.

It's definitely a towel. It is large enough to use as a wrap, so that may be why it has "bathrobe" in the description. I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered it, but it's now my favorite (of 6 to 8 large beach towels) to take to the beach or to the Y when I swim.

Thanks for asking about the Guzzling Giant towel. Yes, it is suitable for travel. It is much more compact when folded or rolled up than a regular towel, and it absorbs water instantly and easily.When laid out or hung to dry, it will dry faster than regular towels, too. I think it will serve your purpose quite well.Have a great trip!

The foam should work fine. You may want to look into marine grade vinyl for the covers as boat cushions tend to have excessive sun and (salt) water exposure.

Over a towel it would be great in that kind of setting. It does have the mesh sides so if the wind blows sand could get through but if you protect it with a towel around it or something of the sort it should work so I don't see that as being a problem. It's compact enough to just carry with you and it has a mat that you can take out and clean separately.

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.

No. Not at all. (the other answer-ers must not have the same towel as I have). It is not thick enough (or big enough) to trap body heat (which is the sole purpose of a travel blanket). This is a great emergency towel; good for that purpose and other emergency-related purposes (sling a broken arm, tourniquet, etc). It might be a good travel blanket for your kindergarten-age child...if the plane is not very cold and your child doesn't mind her blanket being too coarse, too wrinkled, and too light.

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.

Pool or beach towel. You can wrap up in it as a sarong at the beach or pool as well.

These are not thick towels, but they're super absorbent and quite soft. So they'd work well with little kids.

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 used to be on swim team and when I got this towel all I could think was "this would have been SO COOL for swim team"!! I use it for everyday showering, but and it dries my hair fast, and the towel itself dries quickly too so my thought is that it would dry out quickly even if you are getting in and out of the pool. The other thing I REALLY like is that it is small and lightweight but warm. The one thing I might be concerned about would be color fade with the chlorine, but I would also guess that it probably wouldn't make any more of a difference than with any other towel. Anyway, hope this helps, good luck with swim team! I used to be on swim team and when I got this towel all I could think was "this would have been SO COOL for swim team"!!

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

My son is nearly 7 and in a booster, but I put one of these towels right on the seat and it makes it much cooler, especially when the car is. in the sun. I do not leave it there when he is in the seat though. The evaporation wouldn't work.

I don't think it's thick enough for that. You probably want a marine type canvas like they use on boats
