I bought the towel for a beach holiday and it was perfect. It is lightweight and folds up small. Although the appearance is similar to a microfiber polishing cloth, but on drying it does not have this strange feeling, as with other microfiber towels. The suction power is great and it dries very quickly. Even after two weeks holiday at the sea, it was still comfortable to the touch. Quite in contrast to an ordinary bath towel that was then already hard as a board. I would definitely buy again and the rest of the family was so excited that they have already ordered.
