Awesome little towel. It's not exactly as absorbent as one of those shammy things you dry your car with, but it still seems to soak up plenty. My wife and I both used the X-large one (i.e. 2 people to 1 towel) on our trip to Japan and it worked great. Packs small, dries relatively quickly (again not like a shammy or anything, but MUCH better than a regular towel), and is nice and soft. Just a note here tho, don't expect to be able to wring this thing dry, you still have to let it air out some. The x-large is still smaller than a regular towel but not too far off. My guess is that most people would prefer the x-large for traveling unless they were doin' some extreme packing or something. It's almost as long as a normal towel in the longest direction, but it's about 1/3 shorter in the shorter direction. Also, in humid weather, like Japan's August, it didn't seem to dry even within' a couple hours, so sometimes we'd have to strap it to something and just let it hang out. Still, way better than a normal towel. We ended up likin' it so much while testing it out before our trip that we bought all 3 smaller sizes before leaving as well. The smaller ones really came in handy in the heat as we would wet them down and wrap them around our neck and use them to wipe our face and neck down to help us stay cool. Now we use them whenever we go on road trips here to visit family or vacation and have found we have lots more room in our suitcase and like the little pouch it comes with to pack it in.

UPDATE: These towels are not "thick" like a traditional towel, they are very "thin", just in case that matters to anyone. Not even as thick as a microfiber towel, in fact even a shammy is thicker. So at first you might think it won't hold much water, but it does a good job.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't dry fast, January 7, 2011

I like these towels and own several; but I want to clarify a point that may be helpful. These towels are extremely absorbent. That's a big plus. But they don't dry in "no time at all". If you are in a heated or air conditioned room, or a dry climate, they will dry overnight. In humid climates they can get funky if packed. I've found super thin cotton towels more useful in hot, humid climates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome travel towel., August 24, 2007

I bought this towel for my daughter to take to Italy with her this semester. Well, it looked interesting to me so I bought two more for my husband and I to take camping. They were so much better than I expected! They absorb water really fast and then they dry in no time at all! They also take up much less space than a regular towel. They will have a permanent place in my camper! The one thing that you might have to get used to is the feel. They don't slide over your body like a regular towel. For me it was really easy to adjust.
