4.0 out of 5 stars
Lightweight and super-absorbent, March 20, 2009
The Fabric:
* Lisse Crepe -- their original towel. Also the most substantial (heaviest and thickest) of the three versions Aquis offers (Lisse Crepe, Waffle, "Terry")
* Texture: very short pile, no visible loops. Not a fluffy towel.
* Slightly clingy, when drying yourself.
* A little static in the dryer (but not as much as their microfibre "terry" version)
* Very absorbent and lightweight.
* Dries fast
* Comes in many colours and sizes.
Unlike other membrane/spongy camping/outdoor towels:
* You CAN throw this is in the dryer.
* Feels closest to a real towel.
* Will not stiffen-up when dry.
Sizes and uses:
*Size XL is best as a bath towel, b/c you can coverup.
*Size L was the original hair/gym towel size -- longer and narrower. Good for a small child.
*Size M is good as a Hand Towel for when you have people over. It gets damp but not soggy and will still do its job of drying hands.
*Size S [shown here] is washcloth sized and is best used as a washcloth! The slightly clingy texture feels like it cleans out the pores well. This size is also good as a cleaning-up cloth for bathrooms and kitchen counters as it absorbs a lot of water and its clingy texture picks up dirt for its size.
For a softer fluffier version, look at Aquis' Diva Collection which uses their "Terry" weave.

Great but really small, January 18, 2007
This review is from: Aquis Adventure Microfiber Towel, Graphite, Small (10 x 14-Inches) (Health and Beauty)
Guess I did not realize the measurements where washcloth size, so I ended up ordering the mediums, perfect for a spin class at the gym! Other than that great product.

Perfect cleaning cloth; serviceable washcloth, June 10, 2008
*Updated Review*
The washcloth is still a five-star product to me. But I have changed the way I use it.
It is fantastic as a cleaning cloth. A tiny bit of water and this cloth will make glass, counter, sink, etc. shine. I keep one at my kitchen sink and one hanging in the shower.
These days, I only use it to wash myself when I'm traveling. It's perfect for traveling and camping because it dries fast and it's very durable. But it's really not that great for washing myself, because the feeling is kind of unpleasant and it just doesn't hold a lot of lather compared to a thick cotton cloth.
To summarize: housework, yes; travel, yes; bathing at home, no.

*Original Review*
I use this washcloth every single time I bathe, home or travel. It cuts down on my laundry because it gets washed and dried every time I use it. This is possible with an ordinary cotton washcloth, but they take so long to dry that they are likely to grow mildew. Wring this thing out and it's almost completely dry. Hang it up for your next shower and it's dry in an hour or so. The hang-tag with snap is so convenient for hanging it on a shower rod or towel rod. If you have to wash and go, the mesh bag allows the last of the water to evaporate away as long as it's not crammed in the bottom of your luggage. I use this with a microfiber towel (which I wash once every few weeks) to cut my laundry in half.
I'm thinking of getting another to keep at the kitchen sink for washing dishes. Not only that, but I've used this for cleaning my bathroom counters. Get everything wet and soapy, scrub, then use this to wipe. Just keep wringing it out and pretty soon you're drying up the last of the water. It is very satisfying to use one cloth to clean and dry.
