I bought this towel to take to the gym with me. I do a lot of bikram yoga and carrying all the towels/mat/and change of clothes gets a bit cumbersome so I was looking for ways to down size. This towel takes up almost no space in my gym bag, but is sufficient for drying my body and hair after the shower… it’s not the most comfy towel, but it’s hardly rough or scratchy either and it gets the job done.

This is a great addition to a backpakers gear. It is very light weight and dries very fast. It is my go to towel for backpacking when I want to lighten my load.
I also use this towel when going on dive trips. It doesn’t take up any real space in my dive bag and helps get me dry quickly. I agree with the other reviewers in that it doesn’t do much to block the wind and keep you warm however. I would recommend getting cold quickly if that is an issue.
The only gripe is that it packs so small I can’t use it as a pillow at night. A good problem to have.

I wouldn’t use this around the house but on a deployment where you need to pack light and space is limited this is PERFECT. It folds down very small, this will take almost no space in my 72 hour travel pack. It does do an adequate job of drying you and itself dries fast. I’m real tempted to buy another before I go. I would not buy anything but an XL though, I’m sure it takes up the same amount of space as the smaller ones. MICRONET Microfiber Towel

This towel is very light and compact, yet large. It’s not very pleasant to use, being very thin and ’sticky’ but will dry you off after a shower or swim and dries quickly. The mesh stuff sack is nice too. Also bought an Aquis crepe towel which feels much more like a real towel but is more than twice as bulky. I’ll probably use the Aquis for traveling and save this one for backpacking and emergencies.

1. Yes, when wet, it does feel like a wet towel. The good this is, you will obviously see the dry parts of the towel and use that dry portion. Try that on a regular towel. I did it with my white regular towel and it can not happen.
2. Yes it does not give you the warm, hugging you feeling when you wrap it around yourself just like a regular towel would. But I accept this.
3. It does dry fast, no stinky smell, no commercial or “technical” smell.
I think it’s great especially for travelers like me. At home, I still go with regular towels. Btw, I say get Large as minimum. I was indecisive to get the Medium. I’m happy I got the Large for it’s similar size to a regular towel. I think anything smaller is too small. I think a Medium will be hard to wrap and keep around your waist.
