The Wetcat Beach Towel rocks the traditional striped Turkish pattern and offers a plethora of different color options. This cotton towel is prewashed to ensure that it does not shrink, but make sure you follow the directions to avoid compromising its durability and shortening its lifespan. Wash and wear make Turkish towels softer, so it makes sense that the prewashed Wetcat actually feels soft right out of the package. This towel also makes a great lightweight summer scarf.  
Since the Wetcat is quite lightweight, it can only soak up so much water at a time. On that same note, it might not be the best option to use as a park blanket if the ground is moist due to its thinness. Most of the colors are also light and bright, so laying it on dark or dirty ground may stain it. This towel is best used for someone searching for a colorful, lightweight, quick-drying bath or beach towel.
