IT WORKS WELL AND HIDES YOUR BODY!

Big enough to preserve your modesty.
Dries you well.
Washes & dries quickly.
Pricey.
Does not fit back into the wallet easily.
A really great travel towel and I regularly use it on "normal" business trips as well as treks. It's easily big enough to dry you all over and to change under or wrap around yourself on the way to the showers if you need to preserve your modesty or avoid offending the natives.

BRILLIANT!

Very lighteight. Very compact. Very absorbant. Material feels nice and velvety. Fairly quick to dry.
Price and it doesn't fold away into its bag very easily.
I like it so much that I use it as my normal towel at home!

AS DOUGLAS ADAMS SAID, ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOURS IS.

It's tiny when folded, and light. One towel is enough to completely dry the entire body, and it can easily dry out within a day. This towel works.
Not really big enough to wrap around you, if that's what you like. Not cheap.
The only towel I take on holiday now. Worth the price. Small size means you can also include it in a briefcase for a lunchtime swim.

GREAT PIECE OF KIT

Great bit of kit that can dry your whole body easily due to the fact that it's so absorbent, weight is no concern, packs down to nothing and comes in a net that is good for storing your other wash kit.
Little bit pricey
I carry mine everywhere, great to take to the campsite shower or to those nice cold wet wild streams

COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT

It packs away to almost nothing - sot here's no exucse for not taking it with you.
It dries very quickly (and can attach to your pack) - so can be packed away quickly, without the fear of smelly towel attacks.
It's a noce serene colour, so is unlikely to anger bulls when flapping from your pack.
Practically speaking, none I can think of.
As a towel, you could say it's a tad pricey.
I take mine with me everywhere.
It's like a comfort blanket, except it's a towel.
