Gear AID Quick Dry Microfiber Towel for The Gym, Travel and Camping

Dries quick too

Replaced regular shower and shaving towels with this 20" x 40" sized microfiber towel 2 months ago. I wanted something that I could use every day that would dry quickly and then easily pack away in my toiletry kit. It has met every requirement fully.Usage:> For drying my hair, I use it exactly like a regular towel.> For everywhere else I drape it and then spot dry by bunching it up and dragging it around.> As others have mentioned, its got a very different feel to it - it clings to you. Took about a month to get used to it. Its more a practical tool than a feel-good experience.Absorbence:> Its pretty absorbent given how thin it is and easy to wring out . Note: it doesn't have the heavy sponge-like quality of a super shammy when wet.Drying:> It is packable dry in 1/4 of the time it takes a regular towel. (With house heat running, and very dry air, this towel drys in 2hrs compared to a regular towel which takes more than 8hrs) The corner hang loop is so handy - easy to snap it around the shower curtain rod or an over-the-door hanger - fantastic!Anti-bacterial properties:> Decided to see how effective the silver treatment is by only washing it when it starts to smell. Have only washed it twice since purchase. Not sure if the long usage time is due to the silver, that it drys so quickly, or both: either way is far better than my old towels that would often smell after the first use.Cleaning:> The tag states that it should be machine washed the first time. I opted to thoroughly hand wash it instead. Used hot water and an ultra-mild castille soap to start, which released a lot of dye. (If machine washing, be sure to wash it with other dark colors.) Rinsed until the water was clear, repeated twice more, then hang dried.Durability:>Despite daily use, no lint, pilling, stitching issues, or apparent wear - even at the fold creases. Will be looking carefully again at 6mos and 1yr.Storage:> It lives up to the 'Ultra-Compact' label by folding down to about the size of a 4oz bottle (held by 2 included elastic bands).> It also came with a double-sided zippered mesh hang bag. Really didn't need it for the towel, but found it quite handy for other shower items. Its snapping hang loop works equally well on towel and shower curtain rods.Overall:Lives up to daily use. Liked it enough that I've ordered a set of McNett wash cloths to complete my kit.*******************************************Update:After about a year, i've stopped using this on a regular basis because it now smells after every use. Doesn't matter how thoroughly its washed. Even tried sun drying it between uses to ensure bacteria is neutralized. Am now using it only for special occasions like camping or swimming where the compact size is important. Downgraded from 5 to 4 stars.

So, I bought this as a "just in case" item. Usually I take an ultra compact towel for simple quick drying but wanted this on the off chance I would need it. Low and behold not a week later what was supposed to be a 4 star conference turns into bunking in a common dorm. Oh yeah, they say, communal showers, bring a towel. No way I was going to pack a real towel and my normal quick dry towel would have revealed more then it covered. Then I remembered I has this guy. Cool. Let me unwrap it and give it a whirl.Now, the towel itself performed great. Wicked the moisture well (it did "stick" a little bit, especially against my shaved head) but nothing worth deducting a star. Dried quick (about 6 hours w/o wringing out). No odor or discoloration. Wrapped all the way around my waist with room to spare (38-40).The design is well though through, 2 retention straps, the "hook" loop is heavy duty and well placed. My *only* recommendation is that they make one of the retention bands permanently stitched to the towel (but I can see the flip side to that issue too) so that might be personal pref.But the real gem fell out of the packing as I unwrapped it. A little mesh ditty bag that said "use for toiletries". Screw that... this thing was the PERFECT carry on keeper!!! I put my phone, ear buds, spare battery, tickets, gum, Kleenex and a charger in it and I only had to go into my under seat carry on ONE TIME the entire 6 hour flight. It laid perfectly across my leg and the guy next to me kept shooting longingly looks at it the entire flight as he kept repeatedly having to reach between his knees down to his carry on bag. This little bag was worth the whole purchase! And I got a towel to boot! Rock on!

Absolutely wonderful for camping! We just got back from an 11-day camping trip in our pop-up camper where one word can describe the whole trip --- RAIN. I had bought one of these towels to try out and used that one towel for the whole trip. It was so great! Yes, it feels different on your skin than a regular terry towel, but after a few days I got used to it, no problem. It got me bone dry, and was so absorbent that I was able to use it for both drying my hair and my body at one shower. But the MOST FANTASTIC thing about it is that it dries so quickly! My husband's towels were damp, damp, damp and since we couldn't hang them outside, they never did get dry. My towel was dry overnight after being hung up inside the camper. Love it. Have just ordered one for my husband. There was no smell to speak of after using for 11 days straight --- don't see why there should be anyway, since you are clean when you use it. Maybe some people store it wet for awhile? Anyway, I can always wash it out by hand in the morning and still use it that night, when I need to, as it dries so quickly.

This is the second one i have bought as i wanted a larger version of the same towel. Very absorbant and soft, i recomend it if you want a lightweight towel.

Pretty impressed with this towel. I got the large size. Has 3 (6 in total) stitched holes along the long side and a snapp-able label/tag loop. It feels very soft and is very absorbent. It's a little softer than the other towel I have (Radical Camping Microfiber towel). The Radical Camping towel has 20% polyamide which is supposed to wick sweat and moisture better. It also seems to have a little bit better edge stitching, not that I think it would really matter on towels like these. Both seemed to have about the same dry time--although I wasn't very scientific about the testing.The carrying case is really frosting on the cake. It has a snapp-able label as well so you can hang it and a decent amount of interior space for other items. There are a couple elasto-bands in there as well--not sure this is really that beneficial but may come in handy for something.

ちょっと畳んだサイズが大きいです。もう少し小さめだと嬉しいです。

XLサイズを買ったのですが届いたのはLサイズでした。価格はLサイズ価格でした。本当はLサイズが欲しかったので構わないんですが、購入される際はサイズ表と販売価格を良く確認してから購入された方が良いです。多分L,XL表記が混ざったまま表示されています。

Absorbs a lot of water, yet dries quickly.

Es una muy buena toalla no digo que excelente pues tiene sus pros y sus contras pero en general muy buena. Es ligera lo que ayuda a trasportarla a cualquier lado para poder secarte despues de bañarte, ideal para personas que viajan con frecuencia ya sea al campo o algun viaje de negocios de ideal ya que reduce el peso del equipaje y cumple excelente con su cometido, yo la uso diario y no tengo ningun problema a la hora de secarme.PROS:- Ligera y compacta para llevarla a cualquier lugar.- Secado Por completo. cumple lo que promete y seca de maravilla.- Secado Rapido para volver a usarse.CONTRAS:- Necesita lavarse de forma muy constante por que aunque se seque muy bien guarda olores.- Susceptible de descoserse aunque tenga terminado over por todo el contorno.- La bolsa de trasporte es un poco fragil puede romperse con facilidad.En resumen en mi opinion volveria a comprarla pues esta nivelados sus pros y sus contras.

送付元のサイズ間違えで、返品したが2週間経っても商品が再送されない。料金だけ取られて最悪です。
