Highly recommend!

Rating:*****
My sister had purchased a 3-pack of these for our Grand Canyon hike on a whim, and we sure did use them a lot! They held up surprisingly well throughout the trip, and were very light. I would expect to use a new one of these for each major trip - but the lightness by far makes up for the durability. Every time we came to water, we soaked it and then wrapped it around our necks again. The only caution is if you hang it up somewhere to dry, make sure it can't fly away because you'll REALLY miss it! All 3 of us on this trip used our towel a lot. Definitely worth the money.

Surprise, surprise!

I bought these on a whim, not expecting much. I cracked one open to wipe up spill on a tarp that was attracting a few more ants than I thought was appropriate. When I broke the package, here was this crumpled-up little towel that I thought was going to disintegrate right in my hand. Boy was I in for a surprise. I unfolded it, wiped up a huge spill, wrung it out, hung it out and in a few minutes I had a great little super absorbent already dry towel. These exceeded expectations and I now use them as a replacement for paper towels. Highly recommended.

Portable and perfect

Bought a set for a recent trip. Put one in my truck in case of spills and the other two went into my luggage. The towels are tiny (size of a tealight candle) and absorb lots. They are rough at first, but become very soft with washing. I have actually machine washed mine several times and thrown into a ziploc bag...they're still going strong. The size if perfect for washing your hands and/or face.

Awesome lightweight towel

I got a set of these and tried one on a hot day during a backpacking trip. The towel fit easily in my first aid kit before use. I simply wet the towel in every stream crossing (uphill from the trail) and spread it out over the back of my neck. The towel worked great to wipe the sweat and help keep me cool.

Light and Useful

I used this little towel to clean myself after a hot day of hiking. It is great! It fell apart in the washing machine though. Wash it by hand and you have a great product.
