“As a swim instructor I am in and out of the water 10 times a day. I hated putting on a wet towel after the first time. This dries so quick, I get a dry towel again. I have had “fast drying” before, but these are way more absorbent (in my opinion a little less than traditional towels, but again. Better than expected! I also liked the fact that it does fold up pretty small. I travel often, and hate not having my own towel and get stuck using awful hotel towels on beach adventures. This is small enough to travel (and even double as an airplane blanket!).”
