reader: Das geringe Gewicht ist absolut überzeugend, die Optik ist auch gelungen. Als Strandlaken auf Sand prima, zum Abtrocknen wie alle dünnen Microfasertücher völlig ohne Kuschelfaktor, aber groß genug, um es nicht zwischendurch auswringen zu müssen. Trocknet schön schnell und ist vertrauenerweckend stabil.
Der Preis ist allerdings übertrieben steil.

Rachel: I don’t think anyone loves these towels. The fabric feels strange! But when you need an ultralight travel towel in a larger than typical size, this is what you should buy. I’ll use it when backpacking and will be grateful for the size, weight, and absorbency, but I’ll be even happier when I’m home with a fluffy cotton towel!

Rockin Around: Yes, the price is high relative to other towels. And yes, it is 100% worth it. Whatever money you spend on this towel is repaid 100 times over in the space saved in your luggage when traveling.

The Ultralite is insanely light and thin, yet it’s soft (just wash it once) and very comfortable for drying off. It doesn’t have that sticky feeling that many other travel towels have. It dries quickly, especially outside or where there is sun or wind, and you can easily squeeze out excess water. It can go for a long time between washes in terms of smell and hygiene, too.

The face size is quite small, and I’d probably only use it if I could cut off the loop, but I think that would damage the edge.

The hand size is great, and if you have privacy while traveling or you don’t need to be fully covered up, if you have short or no hair, or if you are willing to squeeze the water out of longer hair first before using the towel, a one-bag or minimalist packer could happily use that size.

The body size will make certain that you can fully dry off, long hair or not. In terms of covering up, if you’re smaller and want to cover your body up through the chest, you...

Dahlia: This was the most useful item that I purchased for my recent trip to Spain. It is very lightweight and took up so little space in my suitcase and I used it for a bunch of different purposes. Hotels and airbnbs rarely give you enough towels. I used it as bath sheet and hair towel. Later, when I walked to the beach, I could take a much smaller bag because I didn't have to carry a giant beach towel. Sand doesn't stick to it. It dries very fast and the green pattern looks really beautiful. Also glad that I got the biggest size available.

Andrea Sanderson-Miller: I like that it's compact-super travel friendly but it's not soft.

shopper: Love this towel. Packs down small but very absorbent and fast drying. I travel with a 20L backpack only around the world for a year and this towel works great as bath towel, also perfect for use at the beach to dry up. I bring this and a sarong to the beach and skip the thick bulky beach towel. Very lightweight as well and the green color one does not bleed

Laurie C: I use this for hot yoga and as a hair towel when travelling. It’s very absorbent and just big enough to wrap your hair up.

Amazon Customer: I was concerned about spending over $40 on a beach towel and $30 on a body towel which for me, is expensive even if these were sale prices. However, I really wanted something super light as I like to be on the move without excess weight or bulk holding me back. The beach towel is crazy light & folds nearly half the size compared to a $20 microfiber towel I was interested in. It's spacious enough to let my partner or a friend to sit on it with me. It's nicely wide (3ft) but the length can be too short for some people laying down. I'm 5'2 and my feet are popping off the towel laying on it. If they made it more like 70 inches long, then this beach towel would have been absolutely perfect. In fact, I view the body towel as more functional for backpacking and/or to bring to the beach because both towels are just as long & both are at a comfortable width to lay down on. I would return my beach towel for another body towel but it would actually cost me more now (sale is over).

I haven't tested drying off with either towel yet but I'm assuming it will be good.
