Abstract
Abstract The invention disclosed is a waterproof backed beach towel comprising an absorbent cover sheet of terrycloth having a soft pile side and a smooth back side, the back side being disposed in face-to-face juxtaposition with a backing sheet of waterproof nylon. The waterproof nylon backing sheet is slightly larger than the terrycloth cover sheet to provide a folded over hem which functions as a moisture dam at the edges of the towel.
