Spring may have just sprung, but summer will sneak up on us before you know it.
Looking forward to hitting the beach as often as possible? If you’re shopping for new gear to last as many trips to the shore as possible, let us introduce you to Sand Cloud.
Sand Cloud towels, which come in three sizes (standard being 37 inches by 67 inches, and getting bigger from there), are made of Turkish cotton instead of the basic terry cloth most beach towels are woven from.
Turkish cotton has a few advantages: it’s stronger to start, and the more you wash it, the softer and more absorbent it gets. That absorption is really the star of the show here — if you’re just out of the water, this towel will dry you off in no time.
They’re also sand-resistant, so if you, like Anakin Skywalker, hate sand, you won’t have to worry about lingering grains once you’ve shaken your towel out.
Sand Cloud is also environmentally conscious. A full 10% of its proceeds go toward marine conservation, and it partners with nonprofits committed to helping reduce the amount of plastic in the ocean.
The latest collection is a collaboration with Star Wars, which features 10 brand-new towels in shades of black, gray, and coral. The designs are all reversible, so whether you’re feeling the dark side or light, you’ll be able to accurately reflect your mood.
This striking, large design features the unmistakable mask of Star Wars’ greatest villain, Darth Vader.
X-Wing aircrafts in mid-flight create the stripes that make up this towel’s design.
At 51 inches by 70 inches, this towel is slightly larger than standard-sized and features the Death Star, and the reversible back features a dark gray background.
Four large TIE Fighters feature prominently on this towel, which uses the line’s full range of colors to its advantage.
Another X-Wing design features them flying across what could be a planet.
Sand Cloud’s largest towels are 72 inches by 72 inches — big enough to double as a beach or picnic blanket.
The iconic Star Wars logo gets a color block makeover — this design takes advantage of the reversible colors more than any other in the collection.
A fleet of TIE Fighters is the main event in this design.
This is the most subtle of Sand Cloud’s Star Wars designs. Though it merely looks like a nice line-art pattern, if you look closer, you’ll see that each circle is actually made up of four Stormtrooper helmets.
Another multi-colored design features rows and rows of Stormtroopers ready to walk into battle.
