I had a FatTowel in dark blue that I used for covering the back seat on my boat....the towel itself held up well, but the color was totally washed out after a couple years. Not sure if that's different with different brands, or just how it is with fabric dye in the sun?

I have a HUGE white terry cloth custom made cover that covers my sunpad and entire backseat. It has purple trim all the way around it, and two elastic loops that I put on the rear cleats. It was made by a friend years ago, and she made them for about 10 of us back in the day, all custom to our specs. It's not a hard project, and just about any seamstress or upholstery shop could do it for you. The only thing I can complain about is how heavy it is when it gets wet. I keep it in a duffle back in a storage compartment, and haul it into the house for washing via the bag after it gets used. Being that it is white, it can be bleached and still looks great after probably 8-9 seasons of occasional use. Everyone loves it.

Just got this and another from WowTowel let me know what you guys think. I worked with Todd from WowTowel and the biggest logo they can get is 14". The towel is thick terry cloth and has nice pockets to go around the sun pad so it does not fly away.
Overall I am happy with it

Very nice, I'd like to get a couple made for the front bolsters.

These are huge, the Fat Towel may be better for the bolsters. This towel can cover about any suntan and maybe the rear seat also.
I had a logo made in white also, but the silver turned out better
