The towel features UPF sun protection, and it's super absorbing, lightweight and quick drying. Made of polyester/spandex material, it wicks moisture and perspiration away from the user's skin while cooling down their body temperature. It's washable and reusable, coming in a convenient clear 7" H storage tube with hanging cord. Instructions are included. Machine wash cold before first use and do not put in dryer. After use, wash, dry and store in tube.
