My 12 y/o trains on the varsity swimming team. He is at the pool everyday. Since he doesn't like chamois, is this a good alternative? Does it dry fast

These are amazing towels. I have three girls and they all love my towel and will be buying one for each one of them. The towel dries in seconds and it dries amazingly quick. I use it as my surf towel. Not only does it dry quick, but my girls all use mine at the beach and it dries everyone.

It has a nice soft touch and will dry you off without that sensation chamois leaves (that you still feel a little wet) it dries fast but you need some sun or breeze. i was a swimmer my whole teen years, this towel would have work wonders on a competition day.

It does dry fast. However, if he doesn't like chamois he probably won't like this either. It's pretty much the same thing. You have to blot to soak up water.

It's synthetic, so when it gets dam, it does dry quickly. If you're looking for water resistance, I'd recommend pairing the bag with some type of lightweight bivy.

I used it at the swimming pool and it worked fine. Make sure that when you are drying off with a towel you pat yourself dry, don't rub. I've used this product for years and I have found it to be the only product of its kind that really works. I use it to cover veins on my legs.

Hi CalCoxie, I find that the towel takes a while to dry, because it's so thick and made of good quality, it dries your body very fast better than an average towel would.

I wore this at an indoor pool where the water was slightly warmer (85). The air temp was cool. I get cold easily, and I found the cool water made it's way up my back and became chilly if I wasn't doing something vigorous. The shortie I have bought since is a better choice for me. I think you may have to take in account how warm you are on a regular basis (I rarely feel the heat), and how vigorously you will be exercising.

It dries pretty quickly. I waited about half an hour just to be sure. It is really great stuff!

No. It's very absorbent and relatively thin - especially when compared to a conventional towel. The surface does have some tooth to it though - it feels a little like a thick chamois cloth when it's dry. It is easy to wring it out and then if you hang it up it dries quickly.

After a good workout, I remove my suit in the shower - giving it a good rinse with just plain water. Hang to dry inside out. I've had no issues so far; suit is performing rather well.

It is not water resistant and needs to be changed daily, at least for my daughter. She uses it when she plays volleyball and she works up a sweat.

So the bottle says "spritz before drying or swimming" which is pretty self explanatory. I usually just spray after my shower, but normally let my hair dry naturally. I just spritzed some in my dry hair and it seemed fine, not heavy or greasy or anything. I have really fine hair so that can be a problem for me. This seems to be good on all fronts though! Hope this helps :)

We use it in the tub and it is dry the next day. It is pretty quick as the beads inside don't hold the water. Just make sure to squeeze the head too in order to get an water out.

Yep, most chamois do, it's to keep it in its flexible state. Once a chamois dries it gets hard and you need to wet/soak it and wring it out for it to be used as a towel again. So don't be concerned when it gets hard once it dries, it's supposed to. That's one reason I like them for diving, when I travel I'm not lugging around a soaked towel and it dries before I need to travel again. It usually only takes a couple of hours for them to dry out, less if you live in a really dry climate. Hope that helps!

It absorbs some sweat, but it is not ever dripping. I think it is best to leave your mat rolled out to dry after practice with any mat.

Yes, I would say it dries within 10 minutes, probably less. Sometimes my son just fills in the entire mat though, and when he does it takes quite some time to dry

It is only as rigid as cardboard if you let it dry out, but it can be rehydrated. When it is hydrated it is a smooth mini towel. I personally love this. I am a swimmer and frequently forget my towel and it is small enough to not take up hardly any room in my locker. It is used as a towel and when it absorbs to its capacity it is then wrung out and can be used over and over and over again. The material is actually very soft and delicate on skin.

Yes , Is absorb the water from your bathing suit. It drys approximately in a half hour.
