Deconovo - Microfiber Travel Towel

Top Pro

Lightweight

It's extremely lightweight at less than 1/3 of a pound. See More

Top Con

Feel

Microfiber can feel quite rubbery and rigid on skin. See More

Top Pro

Dries quickly

Depending on the conditions, the towel dries often in under 10 minutes. See More

Top Pro

Great value for the price

The towel is very durable and great quality for only $9.99. See More

Top Pro

Very compact

It compacts to be quite small, around the size of some backpack rain covers at 2.2 x 3.6 x 10.2 inches. See More

Top Pro

Soft for microfiber

Microfiber doesn't generally have the greatest feel against skin, but this towel is much softer than many others. See More

Top Pro

Comes with a mesh bag

The bag is high quality and keeps the towel compact while in your bag, and the mesh allows it to dry if it's not completely dry when you go to pack it. See More

Sea to Summit DryLite Towel

Top Pro

Easy to hang to dry

The towel comes with a hanging loop attached, so it's easy to find somewhere to hang it. See More

Top Con

Color bleeds

Depending on the color you purchase, many of the towels (especially darker colors) have issues with the dye bleeding for quite some time after purchase. See More

Top Pro

Odor resistant material

The towel is coated in a silver-ion antibacterial treatment so the towel doesn't smell. See More

Top Pro

Very absorbent

Discovery Trekking - Extreme Ultralite Towel

This towel may need to be washed/soaked a few times to get out the left over dye before use so that it doesn't stain your skin. See More

Top Pro

Odor-resistant

The towel is made of an odor-resistant material that helps keep it from smelling. See More
