DrySnugs - Microfiber Travel Towels

I paid regular price. I purchased to take on a month long trip to Kenya and Tanzania. We will not always be in a hotel and I wanted my own towels. I plan to use the large one for beach towel , body bath towel etc and the smaller one for my face and hair which is long.The work very well and dry very fast considering. I live in Florida so it's humid here even now. That was a big test for me. Going to try outside by the pool and see what happens.I would give 5 stars if they answer an email I sent today asking if they can be washed at least once as they have the smell of new rubber or a tire. Nother strongman might be because they are new. Howe very it hasn't changed much from several used and being hung up. That said I will keep either way because of the price, size, and convenience. Africa is a place to be prepared.UPDATE: 5 stars! The company had sent a friendly email saying my order was coming. So I emailed this morning asking about the care as there were no instructions. They said to wash with no softener and not to dry. So I did. Twice. No smell of rubber. Maybe it was the packaging? Anyway I hung them up, took longer to dry having been completely soaked. BUT still only about an hour or two inside my laundry room. So the big test. We're they as absorbent now? Yes!!! Can't say how happy I am to be taking on my trip. WI'll use in our travel trailer from now on. Definitely recommend!

Kids have overnight school trips that require them to bring towels; some vacation destinations require us to bring our own beach towels; and our latest beach destination simply ran out of towels. So I decided we needed some packable towels. I searched for non-microfiber towels but if you want packable, it is microfiber. My previous experience with microfiber was primarily the miracle cleanup towels and the Twisty Turban -- terry-like but tons of icky-feeling static after washing/drying (maybe I shouldn't have dried in the dryer) -- so I was a bit dubious. I read reviews on a lot of towels, paying particular attention to reviews that cited a superior feel to the towels, narrowed it down to 4 and bought 2 to try out.I bought "DrySnugs - Microfiber Travel Towels (2 PACK - Perfect Size Combo: Lrg & Med) with Carry Pouches - by TravelSnugs" and "Microfiber Towel Set 3 pack great for Camping Travel Swimming Beach Bath Compact & Quick Dry - 4 active n". The towels are very similar with a few differences that give DrySnugs the edge.Similarities:LOOK: They look the same and have the same edging stitch. They even have identical towel loops -- which is the source of my main complaint about these towels. The towel loop is very large and made out of the same material as the stiffest, scratchiest care tag you have ever bene irritated by on a shirt. It has a large, hard button snap -- I think perhaps this allows campers to snap it around a tree limb? Worse of all, it is attached to one corner of the very long towel which means the end of the towel trails on the floor. I hung it on the shower door (hook is above eye level) and when I open/close the door, the end of the towel trails along the wet shower floor. They should have made the loop out of fabric and attached it in the center of the towel. I will probably cut it off.FEEL: They both feel exactly the same -- a very thin, smooth fabric with a low fuzzy nap that catches on your skin a bit if you rub. Dabbing works fine on the front/arms/legs and if you hold the ends firmly, you can pull it back and forth to rub on your back. Feels very nice other than having to dab, with no static. I haven't washed yet and, per instructions, will hang-dry after I do wash so I hope it keeps the feel. The DrySnugs seems to be a tiny bit thicker than the 4 active n, which may mean it packs a micro bit bigger than the 4 active n but the 4 active n dimensions are slightly larger so it probably is a wash.PERFORMANCE: They both performed identically. I took a shower and used one of each towel to dry off 50% of me (vertically so they each got to dry one arm, one leg, half a torso, etc. I was trying to be fair!) It was a little difficult to dry the front but that's because I was trying to do it cotton-towel style and also dry only half of me. The towels dried me off completely and barely felt damp afterwards. T-shirt after a hot day probably feels wetter. I hung on a towel bar and the towels dried completely in a short time.DrySnugs:You have a choice of gray with pink edging or navy with white trim. I got two for a very low price ($14.95) and the sizes are great. The 30x60 is the bath towel. The 48x24 is versatile: It's large enough to wrap my shoulder-length hair in a turban; it is a bit oversized for a hand towel but it would be fine; and it could serve as an emergency bath towel if necessary. Each towel came in its own bag (nylon back, mesh front, Velcro close). The company sent me 3 follow-up emails with very cheesy exhortations to write a review.4 active n:You have a choice of cobalt or raspberry (bright blue or hot pink) with same color trim. I got three cobalt towels for $19.99 (it's $22.99 for the raspberry which I think is crazy to charge $3 for a color). The bath towel is slightly larger than the DrySnugs at 31x61 but it wasn't noticeable. The 12x32 is not a size I like: it is too small for my hair and it is too narrow and too long for a hand towel (like trying to dry my hands on a scarf). Perhaps it is intended to be an athletic towel, which you drape it around your neck. The 16x16 is an excellent hand towel. Each towel came in its own bag (nylon back, front is nylon with small mesh window, foldover top) which I did not like: It was difficult to get the towels out due to the tight foldover top and it will be that much more difficult to get them in; and the 16x16 towel came in a useless-for-anything-else, tiny drawstring pouch.CONCLUSIONS: The towels are very comparable but I would recommend the DrySnugs due to the size of its second towel and the overall cost. You may decide otherwise if the 12x32 is a useful size for you. The gray is not an exciting color; the blue will be better though still staid. I'd love to get the raspberry for my daughter but I am not going to pay $3 premium for that (on principle.) I like the DrySnugs storage bags better, though that is a very minor concern. An additional benefit of either of the large towels is that they would make great blankets on an airplane (pack small into your carry-on) and are large enough to lie down on for a beach towel for a kid.Other towels to consider:"MyQuest Microfiber Towel With Case - Premium Grade Antimicrobial Treated For Sports, Yoga, Hiking, Travel - Hassle Free" is a 36x63 towel which may be good for taller folks looking for a larger bath towel. I didn't get it because it is $17.77 for a single towel and seemed too big for a regular bath towel and not big enough for a beach towel. A 5'9" person needs > 69 inches to not have feet dangling in the sand.Dock & Bay's "Microfiber Beach Towel & Pouch - Quick Dry Travel Towel, Lightweight & Compact (Extra Large XL 78x35", Large 63x31") Beach Towels & Travel Towels - Stripe towel design for Pool, Swim, Beach, Travel, Camping" offers a 35x78 towel for $24.99. This towel comes in stripes and looks gorgeous (though one review said the color bled). The length is a true beach towel though I'm worried that the size -- even in microfiber -- is going to take up more luggage space than I want to devote.

Sports towel?! No, everyday towel. No joke i have used the same towel for a week. No smell. I am a new towel daily kinda guy. But the day this came in my dryer broke. So i tried it as my main butt drying solution. I am sold. This towel feels higgggh end. I love this as my main towel.Can yall make robes out of this fabric?Only complaint: why is the hang tag in the corner. My towel hook has to be really high to keep it off the floor. Relocate that please.I am getting more and using this as my new daily towel.Not in any way a paid review. I really like it.

I wish I would have gotten one of these sooner! I had surgery on my left hand a few months ago, and I'm just now getting back into my workout routines. I do cardio in the mornings and shower at work. Everywhere I've been stationed, this has been my routine. That being said, I've always hated having to hang my towel either in our locker room, or my office only to find its still super damp 12 hrs later when I'm ready to go home. My friend and I were joking around about shammy towels for people and that we could find anything/everything on Amazon, and that we did.These microfiber towels are amazing. The size of them are awesome, even the smaller one. I am mixed and have LONG, THICH, Curly hair and with a regular bath towel, at home I have to sit for a good hour before I can remove it without any residual drip down my neck when I put my hair up. With the DrySnugs, my hair was dry enough (but not overly dry) in minutes. I was able to comb it out,add leave in conditioner, and put it up without any drip, not even once I got my scrubs on. I will be buying a set for both my bf and my workout partner.

Micro Fiber towels take some “getting used to”, as they feel very different from the traditional cotton fluffy towels. They sort of stick to your skin a little, and you still feel wet afterward... however your skin is dry. It’s weird.That said, these are my favorite micro fiber towels. They are larger than most and wrap around my whole body like a regular towel. They hold a lot of water and they dry quickly. They have held up very well after washing. They take up very little room, so perfect for traveling. And they have a removable loop, for hanging them up. This set has two sizes. I prefer the smaller one for myself. It fits perfectly around my waist when I’m done. The larger one is more of a (thin) beach towel size, if that’s what you want.
