Fit-FlipMicrofibre towel - compact, ultra lightweight & quick dry - perfect for gym, travel & beach - swimming towels for sports, camping & hiking

This towel arrived swiftly, packaged well and in what appears to be excellent condition. So far so good.My intention for this towel was as one to take around with me at the gym, though I have also used it camping/hiking and as a shower towel when the need has arisen. For each of these tasks it has excelled. As a sweat mop it’s great and effective. I think you’d need to be seeing a doctor if you manage to sweat through one of these microfibres anyway but it’s good to see it fulfil promises on this. As a hiking towel and one for use in the shower this is similarly excellent. It’s great at wicking water away and I’m consistently amazed by how much it can given it’s size. It doesn’t have the feel of a fluffy towel (obviously) but it definitely gets the job done and is efficient. I have really sensitive skin and have found these towels fantastic in that regard and I’m pleased because other brands have certainly aggravated that.It’s easy to fold and can be very compact when need be, assisted by the bag it came with. It’s super lightweight and I barely even notice it in my gym/hiking/travel bag. When travelling/hiking it really excels given how quickly it can dry. This makes it really great for travelling with and you don’t end up carrying round a sodden towel and all the extra weight that entails. The loop that’s built in/attached is a real boon too, meaning you don’t need to risk damaging it by forcing it to drape over a hook or to carry a line. I’m also pleased that it seems to be rather resistant to odour and smells and mildew which is fantastic especially when travelling.When it comes to washing these towels, it is best to follow the suppliers advice and was separately for a few times first. The colours are intense and do run and I made the mistake of carelessly throwing it in with a gym t shirt which has, per their warning, gone a bit green.If you have found this review in any way useful I'd be really grateful if you'd let me know by clicking the "helpful" button below :)

I simply can’t believe just how good and practical these towels are. I cycle 15 miles to work three times a week so the less I have to carry the better. When I bought these I was simply trying to cut down on the amount of gear I have to carry, I certainly wasn’t expecting to revolutionize my shower routine at work. These towels are in a word superb. I bought two (140 x 70 cm) but probably only needed one. They dry my body in a couple of passes and hair in a similar time. What’s really good is that they don’t really get wet which (or perhaps I should say “witch”) is a bit magical and slightly spooky. Sure we all like big fluffy towels after a shower but these are just so effective and practical when it comes to drying. In fact I’m so impressed might even buy some for home!!

As someone who visits they gym up to 5 times a week I go through many towels, and when replacing a worn gym bag these towels also popped up and I remember seeing a similar beach towel on dragons den as a space saving lightweight towel that folds up very compact which these also do. Just as you own different types of shoes for different occasions this towel is certaibly a bit different to your plush towels at home. I've seen them described Like a leather shamois that you dry your car with and that's quite accurate. Biggest advantage for me is the size, whereas my regular towel would take up half my gym bag, this folds up to the size of a water bottle. They Are very thin material but that makes them extremely quick drying you could wring this out from soaking at watch most of the water drip right off. When it comes to drying, they do the job perfectly well. Imagine the feeling of after taking a bath in a luxury hotel, wrapping yourself in plush thick bath towels, this is the opposite. takes a little bit of getting used to not having a thick towel soaking up the water but they are extremely capable of drying after a shower and I would not go back to taking a bulky traditional towel to the gym again. I was quite confident they would be ideal after looking at the reviews so ordered 2 of the 160x80cm which are a nice big size for showers and also a small 100x50cm which is a great size for wiping down gym equipment during your workout, the label hook make them handy to hang anywhere and dry and they mesh carry sack are ideal for making them nice and compact, these would also be ideal for when travelling saving on space.

Use this as a gym towel. Wash first with a lot of dye catcher sheets. I used four and it still turned the white mesh net they were in a deep blue! Really like the loop on it for hanging up. Dries fairly quickly. Different fabric to that I expected ... flat, thin, untextured. Good for wiping down my brow and the equipment after use. Very lightweight and easy to fold up small. I don't use the bag as it goes in my gym bag instead. Wouldn't say it was really absorbent as it tends to stick when trying to rub on flesh .. I tend to pat rather than rub. Fine rubbing on equipment but better to dab and pat on face, hands, neck etc. Recommend for gym use.
