Question: Does the towel itself dry fast?
Document: The best towel I've ever had. I always hated those bulky towels that were heavy (even before it got wet). The last towels I bought were Dri-soft from Bed Bath and Beyond--worst towels-leaving bits and pieces and not really drying. These towels pretty much dry with one swipe. If you want to get dry fast with less effort and you don't care about having the softest towels, this is the towel for you.
This towel is not soft at all and the little texture bumps are honestly a little weird at first, but WOW does this towel dry! You don't rub yourself with this towel, you blot the water away and it works very well on both skin and hair. After you have dried your entire body, just put it on the rack and it air dries lighting fast!I bought this for a loved one that does not have laundry in his apartment so I knew towels would be an issue. I have since visited, used this one towel all week and was amazed at how well it performed!
This towel is thick, large, comfortable and washes up very well. I love that it isn't bulky. It dries very quickly and does not harbor an odor when hung up, since it dries so fast there is less time for build up/mold to occur. I would but this towel again in a heart beat and would even consider giving it as a gift!
If you are looking for a soft plush towel, this is NOT it.If you are looking to get completely dry, this IS what you want.
I purchased these towels in order to dry my hair without it frizzing. I just use the towel to squeeze the water out. Works great!
I didn't know what to expect with a microfiber towel but when this product came in I absolutely loved it! You don't have to rub all over like traditional cotten towels, you can pat yourself dry and the towel is quick to dry as well. Definitely considering more for my household.
If you want fluffy 100% cotton towels that do not dry you completely and produce tons of lint in your dryer please don't buy this microfiber towel. Since I am not a lint collector I immediately replaced all my cotton towels with a half dozen of these great drying waffle weave microfiber towels. I also use them as hand towels. Yeah they are expensive but they are worth it.
Love these towels for camping. I would give these 5 stars, except the Sage color looks much more vibrant in the photo than the actual product. Other than that, I have no complaints. They are super absorbent and dry quickly, which is very important when camping. You can actually use the same towel for several days and they don't get that musty smell. Plus, they take up so much less space. I was able to get 8 towels (4 in the larger size and 4 in the smaller size) into my trailer cupboard, whereas before I could barely get 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels in the cupboard.
They wash and dry nicely - look exactly the same. Will probably replace my towels at home with these in the future - hope they come out with more colors.
These towels are light weight and dry very quickly. Perfect for the gym, swimming, or camping. Nice to pack when weight and space are at a premium.
Answer: Yes, they dry much quicker that cotton.  I bought them as camping/sports towels for that very reason.  I'm an avid outdoorsman and was familiar with how polyester tee shirts dry so much faster than cotton.
