the allereinzige small minus: the feeling on the skin have to get used - terry is clearly more comfortable. This would justify more than 1/2 point deduction for me, because even this small towel - 40x80cm - dries quickly and easily the whole body (which is however not the most abundant). It weighs practically nothing, consumes very little space, dries on the line quickly, also extremely cost-effective - to my selection criteria, I could not have made a better choice
