I bought two of these towels for a camping trip in Scotland with my partner. They are so tiny (stuff into a tiny sack they come with) and were perfect for our carry on luggage as they took up no space at all (I bough the size large). A huge selling feature for me was that it was made of mostly recycled materials (bonus!) I opened the towel up before we left and thought that there was no way this thin thing could work to dry you off after a shower, but I was so wrong. I truly cannot believe how well this towel works. While we were camping, it looked completely soaked after only drying off my face and arms (and I thought it wouldn't work on the rest of me), but even wet, this towel will continue to absorb more! It even dried my medium length hair after my body was ... MoreI bought two of these towels for a camping trip in Scotland with my partner.

I opened the towel up before we left and thought that there was no way this thin thing could work to dry you off after a shower, but I was so wrong. I truly cannot believe how well this towel works. While we were camping, it looked completely soaked after only drying off my face and arms (and I thought it wouldn't work on the rest of me), but even wet, this towel will continue to absorb more! It even dried my medium length hair after my body was fully dried off. I hung it on the camper van to dry, and it was ready to be packed away again within the hour. I don't know how you did it, but this towel is simply amazing and I can't wait to take it on another trip!

I like the colour and size options for this product. I especially like the compact nature and light weight packability. The towel material is flimsy and I doubted it's ability to dry very well. It's ok and gets basic drying needs met. It's not beach towel but for back up, and just having something on hand, it's fine. I don't typically like the feel of polyester and thought (well, hoped) it might be softer. It's a fairly tight weave so the fabric doesn't snag on my hands like some micro cloths do. I'm willing to try it. Would be tempted to go a bit bigger, this medium size will require some wringing and patchy drying for long hair and after swim / shower use. Will also have to keep a tight hold on it for windy days at the ocean!

When this towel arrived, I was dumbfounded - how could such a small package hold a towel that will be useful ? Throwing caution to the wind, I brought it as my only towel on a weekend camping trip. It was perfect, the thin material managing to hold on to enough water in order to dry out a big hairy dude, and then drying out in a few hours in the sun. Do mind the size though - these are not your typical towel size, and you should go XL if you want anything more than something to dry yourself after a shower.
