Summary: Great Towels!
Comment: Bought two of these for a six week RV trip to save space. When my wife and I tried them out, however, we loved them so much we got two more to replace some of the "plushies" we have at home. Soaks up the water like a sponge, dries quickly, light as a feather and takes up NO space. Terrific for camping, sports, or RV'ing, and you might even buy them for home as we did!

Summary: Light and absorbent towel-to-go, now you can travel light with a full sized towel.
Comment: This towel allows me to be the perfect house-guest. It's easy to throw in your overnight bag when you're visiting friends or family so that they're not stuck laundering towels after you leave. Before the Aquis, I could never fit in a bath sized towel in my overnight suitcase with all my clothes.

It is also a great towel to carry to the gym or for camping. It is super absorbent and dries you off in less time than a traditional towel and also dries quickly so you can pack it up. It even comes with its own mesh bag which is very handy for travel. This size is great for the beach or swimming pool, especially in the lighter sea-foam color. This towel also takes up less space and soap in your washer and dries quickly in the dryer saving your energy.

Despite all these pluses I don't use this as my everyday bath towel as I like my every day towels to be more soft and plush. This towel is a no-pile, thin towel and will not give you the same feeling if you're fond of soft, fluffy and thick cotton towels. It also comes in very limited colors which may not work with your bathroom decor.

Overall, this towel is expensive but of good quality and very useful for on-the-go and outdoor use so I am happy with my purchase.

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: These towels are so much better than regular towels. They are SUPER absorbent and nice and thin/floppy. I wish all my towels were these kind. They'd take up 1/3 of the room in my closet too! I would only advise that I would not leave your hair tightly wrapped in one for a long time, as they are sooo absorbent they might dry out your hair too much!

Summary: Extremely absorbent; gets you dry -- BUT
Comment: I like this towel because it dries me off quickly and more completely than any towel that I have ever used. It absorbs up moisture from my skin much like a chamois does when used after washing a car. HOWEVER, if you are looking for that thick & soft plushy feel of a luxury resort cotton towel don't buy this one. The microfibers are so effective that the towel clings to my body and requires some effort to move without bunching up. I also like how fast this towel dries after use, as well as after machine washing, and does not become smelly after two or three showers. Overall this is a good towel but not a very good value; probably more expensive than most people are willing to pay.

Summary: Like Using a Chamois to Dry Yourself
Comment: If you are looking for a traditional, plush, soft towel, don't buy this one. It is none of these things. Rather, it is thin, feels like a wet chamois and is unlike any other bath towel I've used. The closest thing I've used to this is are microfiber towels on my car, but even those aren't the same thing. It isn't soft but neither is it going to make marks and scratches on you. It just takes some getting used to because it doesn't feel like a normal towel.

This particular towel is plenty big. It also dries me off very well because it is super-absorbent. Dry, it is very light but naturally it will gain weight as it picks up water. Even then, it is still lighter than a regular towel. Just hang it on the rack and because it is so thin, it dries quickly and as another reviewer said, it doesn't acquire that musty smell that a lot of regular towels do.

It is on the expensive side but I bought it when it was on sale as an Amazon Deal of the Day at a much more reasonable price. I have no idea how long it will last, but I plan on using it regularly until it is worn out. I like it - it dries very well. Four stars instead of five because of the price being a bit high.

(note: I am adding the following on 11/8/08): After using this product for a while, I am not as enthusiastic as I was initially. It does absorb water but it sticks to the skin so you can't rub yourself with it like you do a towel, you have to pat yourself. It doesn't feel anywhere near as soft as a regular towel, either. The good part is that it is very thin and does work, but I'd say it is better for travel/camping where space is a consideration, rather than for use in the home.
