Years ago someone gave me this towel and while I was never impressed I frequently threw it in my pack because it was light and compact. It absorbs water okay but doesn't appear to dry very quickly. I rarely used it because I learned many years ago that if you get wet from jumping in the lake you eventually dry off even without a towel. My wife will tell you. While I use a towel when I get out of the shower I rarely use one when I get out of the lake.  Its barely adequate performance and its light weight and low bulk kept it from getting a perfectly awful score of 5. It is last on my list.  It is time to retire this item even if though, “it don’t weigh nothin and don’t take up no space.” 

FINAL EVALUATION: Worthless
