Bogi or Hoeaas? Go for Bogi.
I couldn't decide between the XXL Bogi or the XL Hoeaas, so I ordered both. Here's what I found:Advantages of Bogi:1. Dimensions of the large towel. Both are the same length, (~ 182 cm or 72 in long, plenty long for laying out or wrapping around you), but Bogi is quite a bit narrower. Trying them both out, I don't think even larger adults would need the extra width of the XXL Hoeaas, and one purpose of the product is to save space.2. Feel. Bogi feels "fuzzier". I don't know if it's actually any thicker, but the nap feels fuller; it's just cozier to cuddle with, and the Hoeaas feels more like a piece of plastic when dry.3. Bulk. In part because it's narrower, and in part because you have to wind it tighter, when packed in its bag the Bogi XL is quite a bit smaller than the Hoeaas XXL. (Both packed bags are cylinders about 10 inches long, but the Bogi is 3.5 in diameter vs 4 in diameter for the Hoeaas: that's a 30% difference in volume.)4. Weight. My Bogi is 12.0 oz (both towels + bag + carabiner). My Hoeaas is 14.4 oz (both towels + bag).Advantages of Hoeaas:1. Bag. The main advantage of the Hoeaas is the bag. The Hoeaas material seems much higher quality and more durable than the Bogi. It feels like it won't come apart (untested). Hoeaas is also more generously sized: it's very easy to get the Hoeaas back in the bag, but the Bogi is a bit more tedious work back into its bag.2. Dimensions of the small towel. Both are about the same area, but I think the rectangular shape of the Hoeaas will be more useful than the square-shaped Bogi.I think the Bogi bag design would make it easier to carry than the Hoeaas, but the full-mesh back Hoeaas might dry faster than the Bogi when packed.Stuff that's the Same for Both:Both were exactly the same price when I ordered on Amazon; both are the same length; both came with a second little towel; both came with a carrying bag that fits both the large and small towel packed together.Both have almost identical hanging loops on one corner of each towel: (loops are about 6 inches circumference); all loops unsnap (so you can attach to something that's not just a peg); the Bogi's hanging lop is slightly longer, maybe 0.5 inch.When packed (and wet!), both can be clipped to the outside of your stuff. The Bogi can be clipped with its carabiner. The Hoeaas can be connected onto things with the clip that closes the bag.

I like them better than regular towels
Impressive absorption and dries really fast. I bought the largest size as I am a plus-sized person, and it’s large enough to cover my body and year folds up smal into its pack. It dries me more quickly and more thoroughly than a regular towel and dries itself more quickly, too. I actually like this towel more than a traditional one and I am considering replacing all my towels with these. It would save space in the linen closet, my houseguests would just need a little convincing...

A Most Useful Addition for Traveling
These flat towels are perfect for travel. Light in weight are they, reasonably absorbent, and if you don't spend your vacation in a basement, they should dry reasonably well. And so many other uses! My wife and I used them as accessory blankets, and the smaller sizes make great washrags, a coveted body-washing device apparently unknown overseas. Fold the larger ones and employ as a buffer between you and your seat on airplanes, herein described as large flying objects using cloth-covered bricks as passenger supports. Or use as a skirt for a Hawaiian beach party (sorry, it is unspellable). Light in weight, swingy, and after your third coconut full of joy juice you won't even know if it's still on! Apologies. I have a propensity for loquaciousness.

Saving space
This is towel can save a lot of space for my bag. I am a scuba diver, I have to carry my diving gear in my bag, these take a lot of space, this towel is not like regular shower towel that expand to take much space.

Great for my gym bag
This is the perfect towel for my gym bag! It works very well to dry your skin and doesn’t take very long to dry out afterwards. I’ve washed it a number of times and it’s held up well. Possibly the best part is how little space it takes up - definitely a plus if you have a small gym bag or have to use communal locker facilities.

Really Great Towel
Purchased a pink set with the large & small towel on an Amazon deal. Turns out it’s a PERFECT towel to take to the pool - they dry you very well, wraps around waist or chest to double a a sarong, and the loop makes them easy to hang up - plus they dry quickly. I bought a grey set for my husband & a set of 2 small towels in dark blue to use for wiping off the dogs’ wet paws when they come in from outside. Love that they have their own storage bag which makes it great to toss in a bag for trips or on the go & the D ring clip also makes it easy to clip on a backpack. Just really impressed with these!

These towels solved every problem I have when packing towels ...
These towels solved every problem I have when packing towels. No bulk. Dries skin superbly. Color hasn't faded after several washings. The snap loop is a fabulous idea. Towels won't blow away with the wind.

super absorbent
These will really make you rethink bath towels. I'm using it for camping. It's huge when unrolled and very compact when rolled up. Came with a washrag and is super absorbent. There is no compromise from the old terry towels. Feels a lot like a chamois.

Drys off even the sweatiest of b@stards like me
I study Muay Thai and if you are familiar with the workouts then you know it causes one to sweat like there's something medically wrong with you. I sweat worse than that - it looks like I just stepped out of the shower. These towels did a good job of sopping up a good amount of sweat after the first initial rub down. When they are dry it almost feels as if they are just pushing the sweat around my body - if I were in better shape that would almost be sexy to some people - sadly I am not and I am not too sexy that it hurts.Once they are a little wet they seem to do a better job of drying me off. Overall I like these towels, but the one thing I don't like is the cloth ring that can be used to hang the towel up. While convenient for drying (and these do dry quickly) they sometimes scratch my back. This has gotten me into trouble with my girlfriend who keeps asking me "who's the 2 dolla ho that you been creepin with" - I do not understand what that means.

Compact, small and fast drying towel!
This replaces my GYM towel. At first I was worried that it might be small or not dry well, it does feel different from an actual towel as of this being microfiber but for being small and light it really made it easy and convinient to use.There are two pieces 1 large (body) 1 small (face) towel, I really wouldnt use it to wipe out sweat even tho it does suggest that it works, just because it will smell bad after.For shower or drying water, it will perform as its expected, again it does not dry like regular towel but it does absorb water well and dry fast which is great for traveler or GYM.Overall quality is decent for the towel with well stitching on the edges, however, the bag quality is not the best, it feels like its ripped but honestly I wouldn't care much for this price.This is a small fast drying towel that is easy to put it in a bag even for having an emergency towel, the bag is advantage to throw it in any bag or place that you find it in need.If this review was helpful please click “yes” to the helpful buffon, thank you :) <3

A fantastic deal on a set of lightweight camping towels
My wife and I do quite a bit of camping, and we've been trying to get rid of some of our bulky stuff and buy more lightweight gear so we can do some hike in camping or car camping without having our car packed to the roof plus a trailer in tow. Part of our search for lighter and more compact gear was the need to find more compact towels, as our full size beach towels take up a surprising amount of space.This set of two towels suits me perfectly for camping. The large towel, at about 30" x 60", is really big and easily dries me off after a shower or swimming. The small towel, at about 16" x 16", is ideal as a face cloth, or for drying off your feet after walking along the beach. The included mesh bag is really nice, because it keeps everything together. The towels each have a loop of fabric with a plastic snap in one corner that allows you to hang the towels up in the sun, and they dry quite quickly.Coming back to our lightweight camping criteria, the two towels and their mesh bag with the included carbiner weighs only 293 grams and only takes up about the size of a coffee travel mug (3" x 3" x 9"). This towel is easily 1/3 the weight and volume of a regular towel, which is fantastic for us.Overall, I'm very happy with these towels and look forward to using them frequently over the next few years of camping. Similar towels range from $18 to $61, so this towel at the very bottom of the price range of $18 is an awesome deal!Please note that this product was provided to me as a sample for the purpose of a fair and honest review. The product was judged on its merits, claims, functionality and value, comparing its cost and the cost of similar products available on Amazon.ca

Great Quality Towel Very Soft to the skin
The media could not be loaded. The towel is made out of 100% microfiber which is very soft and gentle to the skin. It came with two towels, one large one and one small towel. It also came with a case that has a clip so you can hang it on you bag and take it wherever you want which is very convenient. All in all very good quality towel and I'm quite satisfied with it.

perfect for camping
Bought a set of 4 of these for camping as I was fed up with dragging a HUGE bag with only towels in it to the beach. These are amazing. Bigger than I had pictured, even though I knew the dimensions. They are super absorbent, dry really fast and the little snap closure works great for drying them on a tree branch without them blowing off because they are so light. I've washed these 3 times so far, regular soap, and hung to dry and they are still like the day I bought them. no piling at all. I have recommended them many times to friends
