What you will learn
Design and ergonomics of the Sandusa towel
At first glance the Sandusa towel looks like an ordinary towel. That's all the average user can think of when they see the top of the towel. It is striped with three different shades of blue. This gives the towel a real "sea" appearance making it look like the different shades of water, which is both practical and aesthetic. Several sizes are available, namely: 160cmx85, 150 x 80cm and 150 x 140cm.
Regarding the back of the napkin it is radically different from its front. Firstly, its appearance is not identical, since this side is sandy in color. However in the middle of the towel is the brand name noted in blue and orange. The material in which this side is made is also different from the other since it is that made to preserve the towel from the sand.
While on the front, the fabric is made so that water can be absorbed without sponge on the front. The biggest weakness of the towel is based on these dimensions mentioned above. When you find yourself on a beach subject to a strong wind, it inevitably flies away.
Use of the Sandusa towel
To use the Sandusa towel, it is not necessary to be an engineer. Just use the object like a real towel. For optimal use of it, just use it by laying it on the sand, front side facing the sky. Indeed, do not expect to dry yourself on the back side, it is both unpleasant and ineffective. In addition, the water will cause the sand to cling to your towel and this is not what you want.
So after being cool off in the water and you need to dry yourself go to your towel. The front side will do its job while preserving the sealing on the back side. Obviously, the Sandusa towel also includes slight defects relating to its condition of towel. Thus, it does not dry at accelerated speed. Therefore, if you repeat the operation with a short delay, the towel will no longer dry you.
If by any chance the sand arrives on the front side, do not see your comfort jeopardized. The fabric of which the front side of the towel is made is made of mesh. These meshes make it possible not to retain the sand in the towel, on the contrary. Just shake it in the wind and the stubborn grains will scatter. You can fold the towel and put it in your bag without fear of sand.
Regarding the cleaning of said towel it is very simple since it is simply a normal program for this kind of clothes.
The Sandusa towel facing the competition
It would be easy to make short cuts and believe that the Sandusa towel is the only product protecting you from the sand at the beach but, it is not. This is the case of the Australian company Quicksand Mat which also markets a towel preventing sand. If it is not trivial that the only two companies selling this kind of product are from Australia, they do not make the same product. Here is a brief comparison of the two products.
Thus the Quicksand Mar towel has different characteristics from its counterpart. Unlike the Sandusa towel, the Quicksand is characterized by a revolutionary technology and fabric construction. This focuses on the evacuation of the sand through the meshes and not the waterproofing. The technology is based on a mesh construction so that the sand passes through the towel without ever being able to touch you.

For purely comparative purposes, the Sandusa towel and the Quicksand Mat are not really equal. Indeed, if the two towels have the same purpose, they aim for a different consumption mode. In addition, depending on its size, the Quicksand Mat towel ordered will not have the same price. An individual towel will cost $ 89 compared to $ 129 for a two-person version. The Sandusa towel costs only € 49.95 on the manufacturer's website, making it much more accessible.
Conclusion on the Sandusa towel
The Sandusa towel is a real innovation in all of the objects presented. The latter greatly improves the comfort of its user and their experience at the beach. Thus, the materials are made in such a way that the towel absolutely does not retain the sand. However, unlike its competitor the Quicksand Mat, the Sandusa also fulfills its task of drying its owner. The main weakness of this towel is that its dimensions are reduced, preventing tall people from taking full advantage of it. In addition, on the front nothing preserves sand which could fall on this side.

Design and Ergonomics : The Sandusa towel looks like a completely normal towel except the fact that each side of it is different, moreover it is comfortable enough that we can stay on it for a while.
Features : The main function of the towel is to dry its owner while preserving it from the sand that could stick to its back.
Getting started : Again, nothing revolutionary regarding the grip of the towel, it is easily worn if you know how to use it which is very simple.
Quality / Price ratio : For a price announced at 49.95 €, the towel remains four times more expensive than a traditional towel which is still too expensive even if it perfectly fulfills its purpose.
