    Is it made of vinyl?

    What happens after a dip in the sea....you're probably gonna slide/spin around on it like a break dancer.

    Not very good for drying yourself with it either eh?

    May as well take a bin liner...that folds up neat in your pocket too, doesn't dry you either, looks just as stupid *but* only costs 5p.

    I don't belieeeeeeeeve it.

    They are similar to tent/kite material (the vinyl is n the back to stop the damp sand coming through!) and are breathable. My sister has one and I forgot to mention there is an inflatable pillow at the end! (not sure you could do that with a bin liner)

    You're a brave one going somewhere you need a towel to dry off from a dip in the sea ( I tend to let the sun do that in a matter of minutes). Mind you, might not be suitable for Whitley Bay!

    For £4 each plus a quid postage - after quidco discount - it's a good deal, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    I agree, but towels collect moisture/sand and do not fold up to be easily carried etc. Plus, everyone has a towel, not everyone has one of these!!

    Can be used anywhere really, I like them! Just thought others might too!

    Getting boring posting on here when all people ever do is try to put down your message, no wonder there are fewer people posting nowadays.

    Sorry! I didn't mean to put down your post - just a light injection of humour on a dull thursday. Apologies if you took it the wrong way. Hopefully someone will find your post useful. :)
