 "for the ultralight set" 2010-04-20
By eyereamer (the city)
these little jobbers do the job, drying you quick when you need it, i would not recommend them for the beach or as a everyday towel, but for hiking and camping or emergency use they are perfect

By M. Jolly
Very smart idea. You have to get the towel wet in order to expand it. Which makes it damp when you need to use it.


 "Great for Travel" 2010-01-25

I decided to make my bag a carry on and save space on a beach towel by purchasing this item. It worked perfectly, because it saved SOOO much space. Plus on the way back I just threw the towel out, so I wouldn't have to bring it back expanded. My only problem with the towel is that is so thin that it feels like a paper towel. I had wished I had a normal towel since I spent so much time at the beach. So generally don't expect this to be a lush beach towel. Also, you have to get it wet before you can use it, lucky I had thought of that at the hotel the night before. This item is amazing if you need an emergency towel with you, but cant spare the space.


 "Strong chemical smell" 2009-10-18
By Flower essence practitioner (Southeast USA)
I don't know what the manufacturing process or key ingredient is for producing these towels, but I was very disappointed to find they reek of chemicals when you take it out of the little plastic container. I haven't even tried the towel yet because I feel like it needs to go through the wash (and maybe a few good thunderstorms) before I can get near it. Bleh.


 "Shredded in the Wash" 2009-09-30
By C. Harley (Cleveland, OH)
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.
