Tesalate Towel Review

We’re getting ready for another boat trip and I believe Instagram is trying to help me pack…again! Am I the only one who has started shopping straight from the ‘gram lately? (Leave me a comment below if you think I need some help!) Anyway…one of the posts they so helpfully started putting in my feed was from Tesalate. They make beautiful beach towels that are supposed to be sand free, lightweight, quick drying, and ultra compact for traveling. When I saw their posts I knew I had to try one out. Also – they have lots of really fun patterns to choose from!

During our last sailing vacation over Thanksgiving, we chartered through BVI Yacht Charters out of Tortola (spoiler alert: we loved them and are chartering through them again for our next sail!) They provide all the linens and bath towels for your trip, but they ask that you bring your own beach towels. They also partner with the local animal shelter and suggest that you leave your beach towels with them for the animal kennels. So I thought, “Great! We’ll just buy towels when we get there and leave them at the end. Then we don’t have to pack towels!” This was all well and good, but I didn’t factor in that I had no idea where to buy the towels when we got there. (I got lucky and was able to find some at the cash and carry, but they literally pulled them out of the stock room for me.)

All that to say, I was interested in a compact, lightweight alternative for this trip. And they are super cute! I made the purchase on IG and it arrived within a couple of days. They say the company is based in Australia, but some of their distribution must be here in the US for that quick turnaround. As a conditioned Prime shopper I appreciated the fast shipping! It came in a cute little bag that will be great to keep for travel. The towel is super light, and I tested it after a shower and can vouch that it’s plenty absorbent. I felt like it really dried my hair quickly, too! I have yet to see how it does in the sand, so I will update after the trip. Until then, check them out. I am not an affiliate so this is purely a product recommendation of something I bought and would tell my friends to buy.

Do YOU have one? Share your thoughts below and what pattern you chose!
