I bought a similar towel when in Afghanistan and was shocked by how unfulfilled it left me. Yes, the cheaper army towel soaked up tons of water but it wouldn't easily ring out, resulting in an uncomfortable cold sensation akin to the feeling of wearing a cold wet cotton t-shirt around at a theme park before summer's truly kicked off lol. Chilling is not something I associate with a towel. This towel however is equally thin and lightweight, but exceeded expectations: super absorbent (shockingly so), surprisingly soft, has the attached hanging loop, it's possible to ring it out and keep using to some degree, and it dries fast. To further drive home my point, the Sea To Summit's small sized towel is a fourth the size of my similar army towel and yet the Sea To Summit does a better job drying me off. Ignoring body coverage, the small is 100% adequate with drying you after a full shower. That said I did get my wife a large because she likes the sensation of being wrapped when toweling off. One last thing worth noting- these towels build stink at about twice the rate of your traditional hotel-type towel. I assume it's because these towels have so much less cloth and therefore your body funk gets all concentrated. Bottom line: very glad I purchased this towel.

I ordered this item for a week hike in the mountains had absolutely no sun in the entire trip but my towel was always dry.
Excellent quality product I'm 5'10 and weight 190lb and the large size worked great.

This is NOT a normal towel...and you will be unhappy if you treat it as one
January 1, 2012
While I've not yet used this brand, I have used similar towels camping for some years now.
How to use:
1# Do not wipe surfaces which aren't smooth (like skin!) Instead, blot with the towel, which puts the largest absorbent surface directly on the water. Fabric towels work by picking up water on all those carpet-like loops, which stick out at right angles and thus have more surface are when wiped than when blotted.
2# Don't expect it to double as insulation--unless it is DRY. Even then, it isn't designed as a wrap, and will only work well to obscure vision & sun--not wind, cold or water.
3# You don't need a very large towel to dry yourself.Very few people, smoothly coated with water, will have more than 2l (1.2 gal) of water on them--prime exceptions are very long hair (you already know this if it applies.) That is assuming an equal thickness 1mm thick over all skin (fudged a bit for hair.)
To choose a towel strictly for drying, the easiest way is to weigh a towel, then dry yourself with it and weigh it again. If you do this in grams (SI) rather than English units, the difference in weight in grams is the volume in ml of water removed. In English, ounces weight aren't exactly equal to ounces volume, but close enough for this.
These towels should be able to absorb twice it's thickness in water, or a bit more than 1/2 gal = 3 1/4lbs = 2 quarts 1/4 cup/ft2 ( 2l/m2 ) so even a very small towel can dry you. Also, these wring out nearly all the water, so you can stop and wring it out if it gets full.
Even the x-small should hold nearly 3x or more the amount of water on your skin.
To the lady who didn't like it because it didn't dry completely under humid conditions--I defy you to find a towel which is both super absorbent and dries completely in high humidity!
But it doesn't need to be dry to work! So long as it's not full of water, it will still pick up more & it wrings out easily.
If you have to travel in humid areas, there are all sorts of things to keep in mind, for this, carry a plastic bag which will hold it when rolled or folded.
Since they hold water well, you can use them as cooling neck or head wraps too.
I'll try to put together a video review for you.

Great for travel.
The large is big enough to wrap around my body. The material is lightweight and can be folded down to a very small size.

great absorption and size
Perfect for the cruise. When I did laundry, the towel soaked up excess H2O to make drying time shorter than a terry towel. The size allowed me to dry many items at a time. Read more

Compact but not quick drying
It's very compact for traveling but not as quick to dry as I would have hoped. It doesn't get sopping wet like other towels would, but it definitely stays damp for a few hours. Read more
