Some fast-drying microfiber towels feel like cardboard, and the sensation of drying off with a piece of cardboard is not what we would call wonderful. Luckily, the Sea To Summit Tek Towel has a plush terrycloth feel. The Tek Towel's unique fabric dries faster than cotton towels and is machine washable. A mesh and nylon zippered pouch makes it easy to bring this Sea To Summit Tek Towel to the beach, the pool, or on kayaking adventures.
Bottom Line: There's nothing stiff and cardboardy about the Sea To Summit Tek Towel.
I have a large, and it's my bath towel for when I'm travelling. It's light, packs small, and has a fuzzy feel almost like a normal towel. It also dries quickly.
Since I tend to shower in the morning, and often then have to pack up immediately, this towel has been packed damp more times than I can count. It does tend to get a mouldy smell after a bit, but the smell disappears when it gets washed.
Another note: not good as a beach towel or for drying off after being in the ocean. It works fine, but getting sand out of it is a *pain*.
This thing is SUPER absorbent. I got a small and it's more than enough to dry me off after a shower. Leaves you feeling clean and dry, like no cotton towel ever could. Just for kicks, I soaked it thoroughly to see how much it could take in.
Man. The thing was as heavy as a gallon jug. Wrung right out, ready to dry again.
I agree with one of the reviewers below. An excellent towel, but it kind of feels weird (grabby might be the right word). Besides that, it is super absorbent and doesn't stink after continual use. Would recommend it to anybody!
I should give this towel 5 stars because it is so much nicer than the MSR or the REI models, but it still needs that something extra. The towel does have a great terry cloth feel unlike the MSR's but the way it sort of grabs at your skin instead of sliding smoothly like a cotton towel keeps it from being perfect. For a light weight highly absorbent towel with a good feel I suggest this, much easier to pack than a cotton towel, and much faster drying.
Excellent quality, good price. This towel is irreplaceable during hiking and mountaineering. In compare with other fabrics microfiber has a lot of practical advantages, if you take a practical approach to the matter. I have one, but Iâll make amends for this mistake (Iâm going to buy a couple some other sizes of Sea to Summit Tek Towels)
I bought this for the gym, because I bike there, it's a pain to lug towels with me that are so bulky, I'll use it camping too. I tested it out yesterday in the size Small and it was definitely enough to dry my whole body off and my hair! It dried out fast too on the towel rack at home.
