Great Product

"Not sure if it would do the job, but it was exceptional. No need for large towels for school and club swimming. Brilliant product"

Great sport's towel
Pros: Attractive, Durable, High Quality, Lightweight, compact
"This towel is great. Typical excellent quality from Speedo. It's small and compact and comes in its own container with clear instructions on how to use it. Not too expensive either. Saves space when going to the gym/pool and drys up lots of water well. it's a little odd feeling if you arent used to it, but a great towel.
I'd buy another in a minute."

Speedo Sports Towel
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"Have tried other cheaper brands but this is the one that sets the standard. Although cheaper, the others never seem to perform as well and I keep coming back to this one."

Handy alternative
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"I bought this towel to save space when cycling to work and after open water training. It's great and definitiely does what it says on the tin. It's small, feather light and gets you dry.
I would say it feels like your buffing your car though, it's like drying your body with a shammy leather or getting licked by a giant cat. Not uncomfortable by any means but you will have to ring it out about 4 times before you're completely dry.
It's ideal if you want to get dry get some warm clothes on and get home before you have a soak in the bath or a 'proper' shower.
It is value for money and handy to have in your kitbag but if I have room i'll take the oldschool cotton towel. But hey - 'each to their own'"

How to use it!
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"Other reviews mention that Speedo towels dry out like cardboard and can't be used. When bone dry (best way to store so they don't go smelly), you simply soak them, wring the water out, and then they dry you perfectly when damp to the touch and flexible again."

Pros: Lightweight
"Bought for use after showering on arrival at work. I wanted something that I can dry out of sight without it smelling of damp towel in the office. Does the job, but not really big enough to dry an average-size adult male"

A must-have for swim training
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile
"This handy towel saves tons of washing and drying at home. It lives in my swim-bag for training. But it also makes taking the family to the pool easier. I towel down the kids, wring it out and they're that much drier and easier to dress in the cubicles.
Not so good if you swim infrequently - it dries out like cardboard."

OK, but very small.
Pros: Lightweight, works well
Cons: Expensive, small
"The towel is a little small and at first glance only looks big enough to dry the face and head. However it is very absorbent, though it does have to be wrung out frequently to dry the whole body. It is made of an odd synthetic material. If it dries out completely it becomes rock hard and can not be used!"
