Greath but...

I taught that it will come with a nylon storage pouch like the other I had.

gets the job done but is very uncomfortable; I prefer the personal towel

I got the beach size of this towel a little less than a year ago. It worked as advertised—very light, absorbent, packed up small, the works. The main issue I had was the feel. It was just incredibly unpleasant to rub against my skin, like it was sticking or snagging to texture that wasn’t there. It’s also kind of stiff when dry, so it’s uncomfortable to drape or wrap around my body. (Full disclosure: I’m neurodivergent and I have some sensory sensitivities, so this could easily be a matter of personal preference.) Sand also sticks to this towel more than expected. When I accidentally left this towel behind on vacation, I replaced it with the personal towel, which works just as well for my purposes and feels MUCH better on my skin and body. It’s easier to shake the sand off of the personal towel as well. Bottom line: If you don’t mind weird textures and you need something super light, this is great. Otherwise, go for the personal towel.

Mildew / Pee Smell Impossible to Get Out

I never peed on the towel. I think it spend one night wet in a bag and now I can't get the smell out. I've had other towels spend longer in wet lumps and any smell washed out after a wash or two. Maybe it's the fabric itself? I do love that it's ultralight. It's not exactly a cosy towel to dry off with, feels kind of like using that rough, brown, recycled paper towel you get next to the sink in a public washroom, the kind you have to push that lever to extract it... but it works and that's the price you pay for shaving a few grams off your pack weight.

Great lightweight towel, dries my body much more thoroughly then a standard quick dry towel. Soft to the touch.

Delivers what it promises!

Super light and packs down absolutely tiny, but it's super absorbent. Really happy with it and would buy again in a couple of different sizes. Dries very quickly as well!

Very packable and absorbent, and takes some getting used to because the drying technique is different from a terry towel, but very camping friendly.
