Know before you buy
Cairo cotton is a long-staple fiber, which means the individual threads are longer and stronger than standard cotton. This results in a softer, more durable fabric that resists pilling and maintains its plush feel over time.
Yes, with a weight density of 625 gsm, this is a substantial, high-quality towel. It has enough weight to drape well over a pool chair without blowing away easily.
At 70 by 36 inches, this towel is larger than the average beach towel. The extra length and width provide generous coverage, making it ideal for full-body lounging.
While the appliqué is durable, we recommend washing the towel in cool to warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the cotton fibers and affect the towel's absorbency over time.
The Helios towel is designed for both form and function. The terry weave is highly absorbent, making it effective for drying off quickly after a swim while maintaining a luxurious, plush texture.
