Antibacterial Beach Towels

Acteon Microfiber Beach Towels Absorb Three-Times Their Weight in Water

— June 19, 2019 — Art & Design
The Acteon Microfiber Beach Towel is a stylish accessory for beachgoers that will provide them with a better way to dry off when getting out of the water. Capable of absorbing up to three-times its weight in water, the towel is perfect for use by the pool, on the shore or when traveling. The towels are also reported by the brand to dry up to three-times faster than conventional cotton towels, while still maintaining the same level of durability and softness for users to appreciate.

The Acteon Microfiber Beach Towel is infused with a silver ion antibacterial treatment, which will enable it to stay fresh between uses without requiring washing immediately after use. The lightweight towel weighs just 3.3 ounces to make it ideal for backpackers.
