1.0 out of 5 stars Shredded in the Wash, September 30, 2009

Very Thin, Very Light, and Very Absorbent. Those are the good qualities. They are a little stiff when dry and I recommend soaking and drying them before your first use so that they are more towel like. In the end, what you are buying is more like a sheet of gauze or a very thing sponge. I could certainly see how these would be useful for camping and/or traveling, if they held up. These are made from a material that I have previously seen used for disposable finger towels in restaurants. It's not a very durable material and ordinarily I would say these merit 2 to 3 starts as towels.

Now, onto my big complaint and the reason for only giving these 1-star. The packaging claims they are machine washable, but on their first trip in the laundry machine, they shredded. I was a little worried that they might not last very long, and this just confirmed it. They didn't completely disintegrate, but the fibers separated throughout most of the towel and I would certainly not buy this product again unless I was planning to only use it once, or for one trip. Definitely treat these like the disposable towels that they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect towel for summer camp, July 28, 2009

I needed a light, inexpensive, and compact towel to send to day camp with my kids. My daughter, who is only 5, carries a very small backpack and I wanted something that would fit along with her lunch and bathing suit. I also figured there'd be a good chance the towel would get lost, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. The Lightload Beach Towel is the perfect solution. It takes up very little space. Because the beach towels are full size towels, I even cut it in half for my 5 year old and it's still plenty big; my 8 year old takes a full size one with him. And if the towels get lost it's not a big deal - I bought a few extra. I highly recommend these towels!
