I bought this because I think I saw it rated on Wirecutter. This thing is super versatile and I've actually not seen one at this size or thickness before. It is very thing but dense and I used it all the time on my last trip. I actually preferred to use this over my Airbnb towels because it just dried so much faster. I brought it to the beach, fishing, hiking - you can use it to dry off dishes - it's just fantastic. I'll probably get another in one of the cool patterns.I was apprehensive buying this towel because of the surface texture. I've had other cheaper towels with a similar surface and they were uncomfortably sticky to wet skin. This towel does stick a little but it's not a real issue. The absorbancy is fantastic I could have gotten one two sizes smaller and it would have done the job. For me 6ft tall broad shoulders I wanted the big one. It fills the role of many things including a nice blanket for use on busses or aircraft. Works well as an extra layer while camping to keep my feet warmer. I've even used it as a wind break at camp. As an edc pack towel even this size is convenient and actually is carried in my every day pack. Great if your out and you step into the gym for a quick shower. This doesn't take up alot of smell even using it for a week without washing it. Further it dries very quickly. Worth every penny.I take this towel when I go backpacking. It adds negligible weight to my pack and allows me to dry off after impromptu swimming along the trail. Hang it up afterwards and it will be totally dry in a couple hours. It will be dry in 5 minutes if you can put it in direct sunlight.These towels are absorbent and have held up for two summers so far. We use them while backpacking. They are quick drying and lightweight. I might buy the beach size towel for beach days!The towel is nice light weight and dries quickly. Perfect for hiking and bike-packingEasy to just keep in my pocket and go for walks in this florida heat.I absolutely love these towels! They are small, compact, and get the job done! I’ve boughten some as gifts and have received great feedback from those who have one!Used the hand towel size for hostels in Europe. Was perfect size to dry off my body and dried fast overnight hung up in room. Going to buy the face size now for smaller version.I am a person who (embarrassingly) perspires a lot. I never leave home without this towel. It’s super absorbent, dries quickly and takes up no space at all in my bag. I’d definitely recommend it to anyoneNice light weight towel. Ideal for travelling. Drys quick and feels softyou wont find any betterVery soft and big.Good quality
