Katydid Beach Towel

The towel is constructed from a tight-weave microfiber fabric that prevents sand particles from embedding into the fibers. Because the surface is smooth rather than looped like a traditional cotton towel, a quick shake is usually all it takes to dislodge any grit.

Yes, despite being lightweight and thin, the microfiber material is highly absorbent. It is designed to wick moisture away from your skin quickly, though it will feel different—more like a chamois—than a plush, heavy terry cloth towel.

It packs down significantly smaller than a standard beach towel. It comes with a dedicated carry bag that makes it easy to slide into a tote, backpack, or carry-on luggage without taking up much space.

No, the microfiber is soft and smooth to the touch. While it lacks the thick, fluffy pile of a traditional cotton towel, it is gentle on the skin and comfortable for lounging.

Thanks to its moisture-wicking properties, this towel dries much faster than cotton alternatives. In direct sun or a well-ventilated area, it can often be dry and ready to pack away in a fraction of the time a standard towel would require.
