OlimpiaFit Microfiber Towel - Quick Dry (3 Size Pack) - Camping, Sports, Beach, Backpacking, Gym, Travel Towels w/ Bag - Soft, Compact, Lightweight

I am pleased that these towels match the description.The towels are soft and lightweight. The texture of the textile is like a lightweight version ofvery thin supple suede - not terry towel loops like a home towel.Because the towels are thin, they take up a tiny amount of space.They did not tear when pulled.They are not see-through.They can be used for a variety of tasks.I purchased mine for camping. They are lightweight and easily fit into backpack or be tied onto a backpack or purse.I purchased mine on a discounted “lightening deal” and wish I had purchased a second set of 3. I see the price is higher and am unsure if I would pay more than the lightening deal. Do research to find the best price.Pictures are included so potential buyers can see the flatness of the fabric.One photo shows how I wet the back of my hand and dried my hand with the fabric. The water was almost instantaneously absorbed. When I stopped rubbing and laid the fabric on the wet spot, the water was instantly absorbed. No rubbing was needed. From the photo and in person the part of the towel that absorbed the water did not look wet but felt damp. The moist spot is drying quickly.Typically, I prefer cotton fabrics but in cold weather, man-made fibers dry faster.I did not put these towels in the washer and dryer. Instead I put them in a lightweight carry bag in the photo which was also purchased on Amazon. The squeeze bottles were also purchased on Amazon and are useful for biodegradable natural hair and skincare products. I use Dr. Bronner’s unscented liquid baby soap which is also purchased on Amazon or my local HEB grocery store. Your favorite shampoo and body care would fit into the same inexpensive carry bag. I put the bamboo bath mat into the same lightweight carry bag so I can shower at the campground or in nature (yeah Amazon sells camping showers too.) I am trying to reduce my “pack in - pack out” trash and reduce the weight of items I carry to camp. Both ankles in one foot are fractured, so my goal is lightweight camping as a lifestyle. No more paper towels are needed because one towel in the set is hand towel sized. I am pleased that I purchased the 3 towel set. If I had young children I would order one set for each child and personalize them you color or embroidering names on them.There is no elastic hanging loop on the smaller towels to hang to dry.Because this fabric does not unravel, I can clip a slit for a hole into the smaller towels and tie a string or elastic band through the hole. My local dollar store sells elastic hair bands and I have regular elastic in my sewing supplies. At the lightening deal price, I’m not worried about elastic or how I will hang the smaller towels to dry. Your situation may be different so do what is best for your situation. I am limited to walking with a crutch and am trying to find creative solutions at many levels for many circumstances. The models in the ad seem quite fit but fit people may want lightweight towels too. If this towel set is easy to use and is lightweight, I am pleased.Thank you for taking the time to read this review. I hope you found the review beneficial.

Update:Used these on a three-day camping trip recently, and they held up as expected. Washed them again after the trip, and there was no color bleeding during the second wash. Taking this set (took all three towels) just reminded me of how much I need that snap loop. We typically take our towels' loops and hang them to a tree branch to dry. But because the smaller towels did not have a loop, we had to hang them on our camping chairs. Thankfully, these towels dry super fast. They were ready to be packed away after an hour of sitting out in the shade. No wet towel smell!Here's a quick breakdown of the pros and cons:PROSQuick dryingCompact and light - easy to travel withGood stitchingFull-length zipper carry bag that comfortably fits all three towelsCONSNo snap loop***Color bleeds during first wash*** this is a big oneUpdating this review to three stars from the original two stars.Original review:Good price for three towels and a carry pouch. However, I do have a qualm with the towels compared to some of their competitors, and it's a pretty big one: the big towel is the only towel with a loop. The loop is handy for not only just holding the entire towel set together, but for hanging. You can hang it on anything with a hook/opening, but you can't hook it to anything because it's not a snap loop. The other two towels have no loops. When I go camping, I can't attach the face towel to my hanging toiletry bag. I didn't even realize how much I depended on the snap loop on my other microfiber towels until I got the set from OlimpiaFit. It's my fault for not reading the description, but I thought it was a given feature since I have a few other brands of microfiber towels, and they all come with a snap loop.Lack of a snap loop did really bring down the convenience of the towels. People use these for different things, and for what I need them for, based on my habits, I prefer that snap loop.Quality of the towels are good. Stitching did not come out after first wash. However, the color did run in the washing machine, and it stained a few things during wash. If the color runs again on the next wash, I'm abandoning these. Really hoping they don't so I can use them for other things (maybe less for the outdoors and more in the home).

I had previously purchased a towel like this from REI. I wanted to purchase an additional "cheap one" for the gym. This popped up as an Amazon daily deal so I jumped on it. This is not cheaply made. These are really awesome for their price point. The large towel is my go to Gym towel. It folds up nicely and it is a great size for me. The medium towel is my gym towel for wiping sweat off myself while I work out. I use the small towel to dry my feet after I take off my shower flip flops and want to throw socks on. The elastic band used to keep these together is not cheap and it is keeping its shape. The pouch that they come is even better than the pouch that my REI one came in. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. I will update if they fall apart at a later date.

I bought this purely for after work out showers at the gym. I wanted something small to fit in my bag and fast drying. This met both needs. Not only did it dry itself fast but it just absorbed all the water on me after showering. Same goes for the smaller tower I use to wipe off sweat. The only cons - that others have mentioned - are the flimsy carrying bag and that it's a little tough to rub yourself dry with this. But overall, much better than a normal towel for on the go use.For comparison, before using this I had a traditional body and face towel. There the same dimensions as the body and face towels in this set. But look at the size difference folded up! Freed up a lot of space in my bag. Super compact!

Very compact, absorbent, great quality, look good. Glad I bought these for camping / hiking

Super quality ideal for the gym sizes are spot on

I was not sure whether these towels will be able to absorb the water but I am very pleased actually. No more heavy and big towels when going for a swim. Thank you.

I bought it for curly hair use but I had a new haircut recently so I think I will have to wait to see the difference

I ordered three red towels for sports. Sadly just one came threw ?! Not ordering again so.
