I like this towel a lot it's very absorbent and you just wring it out when it's wet and then keep drying. I use it at the gym several times a week after swimmmg and showering. It stores in its own container and doesn't take up much space in my gym bag or get other things wet. It also saves washing towels all the time. It's too small to wrap around me when getting out of the shower but that's okay since most of the guys don't wear a towel going to and from the shower anyway. I've been using it for about eight months and it's getting pretty worn. When I leave it stored wet it really really stinks the next time I go to use it so I take it out of its container when I get home to let it dry. Once dry it goes hard. I then fold it to put it back into my gym bag and it has now started to crack on the fold lines. The next one I get I will avoid folding when dry and I'm sure it will last much longer. Since it is hard when I go to use it again I simply wet it down in the shower wring it out before using. If I notice that it smells bad I wash it out with soap in the shower before drying off.When I first opened this towel, I was certain it was going to be a joke and not work. It seems so tiny, but it absorbs water so well. I've had two of these for about 7 years now and I've brought this with me whenever I'm traveling or camping, never regretted it.It does dry into whatever shape you leave it in, so just be aware of that if you wrap it around something. I leave it hanging to dry on a towel rack and can simply lift it up to run it under water again, so it hasn't been an issue.Justo lo que necesitaba.Loved itExcellentThis thing is a scientific breakthrough. I bike commute to work and try to keep my backpack as light as possible. This was recommended to me by some swimmer friends who noted that it could dry me off after the shower at work, but weighs nothing compared to a full towel. They were absolutely correct.I have not noticed the smell noted by others yet, but it is strange how it dries very stiff into whatever shape it is left in. I have heard contradicting advice whether you are supposed to leave it damp, or let it dry. I personally have been letting it dry and then rolling it back into its tube. Works for me!I would strongly recommend this for anyone who need to dry off from any activity, but is trying to cut down on carrying weight/bulk. I will be bringing this with my any time i travel in the future.I am a minimalist backpacker, I took a backpack smaller than a regular school backpack for a 2.5 month trip to Europe, so I didn't have room for a real towel, and I didn't want to spend big money on a large, quick drying towel (that still doesn't even dry that fast)Yeah, this is small to dry your whole body, but the space I was saving made it all worth it. You can just keep wringing it out and keep drying yourself. I kept it in a ziploc bag with a couple small holes in it, and it didn't leak in my bag, and because of the holes it never got smelly. I could take a shower a few minutes before checking out of a hostel, and stick this right in my bag and be on my way, you can't do that with an expensive backpackers towel. This is awesome. It sucks the water out of your hair and everything.I highly recommend this for traveling, or going to the gym, or swimming. It's perfect.I like the compact size of this towel as well as its capacity to dry/wipe water off of skin. It is best used as a swim towel. It smells a bit weird for the first few washes, and I feared that the smell would rub off on me, but if it did it didn't last long after drying off. This towel is not a good texture or fluffiness for drying hair, it's only good for a pat dry. The weirdest thing about this towel is that it comes wet and in a plastic tube. If you store the towel in the tube, trapped with some moisture, it will be soft and malleable when you take it out for use. If you do not store it in the tube then it will fully dry out and be stiff as cardboard. If you let it dry out while it's touching itself (folded) it will stick to itself and tear if you don't fully soak it before unfolding it.El producto es sensacional, me gustó.Quizá por el tamaño podrían pensar que no vale la pena invertir en ella. Anteriormente, tuve una toalla muy parecida, pero de la marca Void y, por ser parecida, verán por qué vale la pena comprarla.Comenzaré hablando de la presentación del producto, este viene en un tubo de plástico especial que, al igual que la toalla, evita la formación de hongos y algunas bacterias. Básicamente, es una toalla que después de ser usada, debe ser exprimida y guardada con un poco de humedad en su empaque para que le mantenga útil. Asimismo, las instrucción de uso y cuidados se encuentran estampadas en el empaque.La toalla que compré es de color azul, es suave y bastante absorbente, esta hecha de ¿Alcohol polivínilico? Si se empapa de agua, basta con exprimirla un poco y ya. Es particularmente más grande que otras toallas de su mismo tipo y suficiente para sacarte de un apuro en situaciones ajenas a la alberca. Ólvidate de esas ostentosas toallas que, después de utilizarse, tenían que pasar horas y horas a la luz del sol.Como ya lo mencioné, la toalla de Speedo puede sacarte de un apuro para otras ocasiones como: otros deportes, los viajes y el trabajo.Para que tu toalla rinda al máximo, recomiendo seguir las instrucciones y cuidados publicados en la etiqueta. No querrás malos olores, suciedad o una toalla descolorida y deteriorada.Espero que esta reseña haya sido de tu agrado y utilidad, ¡Gracias por leer!I have used these for some years and have always been impressed with the way that they dry. I use them after showering and it is a simple matter to give them a wash straight away then leave them flat on the shower floor for use the next time. I was amazed that these came with free postage - they took ten days or so (as stated in the order) well packaged and all the way from California!Tamaño compacto, fácil de transportar (aunque hacerlo junto con su recipiente se vuelve estorboso en la maleta), en mi caso yo la llevé doblada para aprovechar espacio, como tip; no intentes secarte la primera vez sin antes haberla remojado en el agua, la absorción es rápida y se siente como si te secaras más rápido que con cualquier otro tipo de toalla, se seca rápido y es fácil de lavar, otro tip es que no la exprimas como lo harías normalmente, hazlo cerrando el puño y de esta forma no vas a romper las fibras y te va a durar mucho más tiempo, te la recomiendo para viajes aunque no la olvides en la maleta cuando la necesites, como me pasó a mí (al ser pequeña se olvida que la empacaste)Esta toalla la compré para utilizarla en natación. Después de unas semanas me di cuenta que es incluso mejor que una toalla normal y ahora ya tengo una para utilizarla para sólamente en el baño de mi casa. Te ahorra muchísimo espacio en tu maleta (recomendable también para viajes).This was the ONLY towel I brought on a 2-week vacation and after coming back from the trip, I gotta say that this was the single best thing I brought on my vacation. Here's why:PROS:- Portable and lightweight making it easy to roll up and pack away whether it's damp or dry- This small towel was able to dry off my entire body after a shower- Easy to wring out and continue drying- Used it to roll my hand-washed clothesCONS:- About the size of 2 mouse pads so it may not be for most people, but it was perfect for my use.- Feels like rubberFINAL THOUGHTS:As an ultralight backpacker, I don't think I'd ever go on another trip without this towel. If you're looking for a large quick-drying towel, this would not be it. If you're looking for a multi functional and lightweight towel, I highly recommend that you consider getting this towel.
