4.0 out of 5 stars
Lightweight & 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 [Shown here] is Hand Towel sized and is good as a Hand Towel and as a kitchen towel. It gets damp but not soggy and will still do its job of drying hands. It is also excellent as a doggy foot-towel as the clinginess of the weave will help collect dirt. The darker colours also help hide stains, but will bleed a little when washed the first few times. It is colorfast after that.
*Size S is washcloth sized.
For a softer fluffier version, look at Aquis' Diva Collection which uses their "Terry" weave.

nice to have if you have space, March 24, 2009
This review is from: Aquis Adventure Microfiber Towel, Graphite, Medium (15 x 29-Inches) (Health and Beauty)
Its way smaller than a normal towel and it actually dries you off really fast. I actually used one in Iraq, it was just less volume to pack than a conventional towel. Not sure if I would actually take it backpacking...I would most likely just dry off with a shirt or something and just hang it up.

Conflicted, January 9, 2007
I bought this product because I had one from years ago that I use when I go to the gym but lost. It's great at drying me off while i'm working out and yet the towel isn't wet. I am conflicted though. I bought this one when I lost the one I already had. It's a bit thinner and not the same deminsion as the original, but I still like it for what it does. I also like the little bag that it comes in, which I didn't have with the original one.
