Amazon Basics Sports & Travel Microfibre Bath Towel

Decided to give these a go, after using microfibre towels on my dogs and being really impressed. These definitely don’t disappoint. They have the feel of a shammy and the bath sheet is really generous in size. The colours may not be the best, but they will be stored away out of sight after being used. The purpose of me buying these was to see how well they dried me and how quickly they dried. I now plan on using these during the winter months when it is difficult to dry thick cotton towels without having the heating on full blast. I’m now about to order another sheet and hand towel. The hand towels aren’t great in size, but for the difference in price well worth a punt. The hand towel did dry my hair, but would be equally useful in the kitchen for drying hands or perhaps dishes. Definitely recommend.

I originally intended these for travelling (incl. when in a motorhome) with but before doing so I tried them out at home first because I'd heard they were different to use. They are obviously thinner and smoother than a traditional towel, which might take a couple of goes to get used to, and I found what suits me best is a quick all over 'blot' to remove the loose water beads/droplets and then, even though the towel looks wet, a second dry and it keeps drying, its ability to soak up water is hugely impressive, even when you think it's wet. I found that I actually end up dryer that when I use a normal towel, and they dry incredibly quickly after use too, ideal for travelling, or when in caravan/motorhome where drying space can be at a premium. I was so impressed I bought some more and can't see myself going back to using normal towels at home. The bath sheet is huge by the way. I ever tried, just to see if I could, use a hand towel after having a shower, and whilst it wouldn't be what I'd do every day (also wasn't remotely near big enough to wrap round my waist when I'd finished!) it did work and got me dry, so in an emergency it would be fine. Have also found that as they dry so much quicker they tend to last longer before requiring washing, which is another positive from my perspective.

Got 2 piece and it met our trekking needs.Very large size and lovely colour. Would recommend and use again

Good size and absorbant but doesn’t feel like a towel. Family don’t like the fact that it’s not fluffy like a conventional towel is. Dries quickly. Lightweight. Worth a try if you can adjust to the feel of it

I bought these to use for after swimmingThe pros....Lovely and big to wrap around yourself and really lightweight and easy to dry.Cons....Don't really give you a good dry but will take the very wet off you?So all in all I take a small towel with me to finish drying myself off properly.Having said all this I'm glad I got them as like I said doesn't take much room in my gym bag

The bath sheet is a really good size both in length and width, they are the thin and flat microfiber towels so could be off-putting but the intention of these is to still provide coverage and to take up little room when not in use, they are designed for travelling to places with too.I've found these dry the quickest, both people and the towels themselves making these a much healthier alternative. They do feel nice and are surprisingly warm.The smaller towel is nice for drying hair quick, hands, face.They look very smart, tidy and clean when hung up with their nice straight edges.They have a type of thin soft suede feel to them, for performance these are ace all round, I kerp these mostly and one fluffy towel to hand incase I want that one for a change.Am intending on getting some more as they take up little room in cupboards and can be dry within a minute literally, other towels don't seem to leave the skin as dry either, these leave the skin as dry as before a shower or bath. Healthier option for guests, more hygienic for all as a hand towel in a downstairs toilet.I'm approx 4ft 10 and the bath sheet covers down to the ground.The smaller one provides opportunity to pull around on a rail to find a space not used for hands a good few times, these don't harbour germs like other hand towels and they cover and dry easily my very long hair when washed which saves damage hair dryers may do.

I purchased these towels to take with me on camping trips, they being smaller than traditional towels, so will stow away in my kit easily.I didn't go for the camping specific microfiber towels, because they are more expensive and often stow away in a neoprene case/stuff bag. I'm getting really sick of all the cases and stuff bags there are! I understand for a sleeping bag (huge otherwise, but for everything? So I'll leave a lot of my packs, bags and sacks at home when not necessary. Now I heard you ask, "where are you fleece towels going to live"? Well they both stuff into my sleeping bag stuff bag in an old carrier bag :-) so little space :-) and little extra weight :-)As to utility, they work far better than I expected, I was a little dubious, one has to use them by patting them on the part of the body one wishes to dry (as other reviewers note) and they will dry you :-) as to washing the towels, I followed the advice of another reviewer and went for a lighter colour (pale blue) and am washing them with strong colours for the first several washes so no problems there with colour running for me.Overall I am very happy with these towels, they take up far less space than traditional terry towels, for my camping trips fit in my sleeping bag stuff bag, they work (they dry you) and, importantly, are very competitively priced compared to those marketed as camping towels, so I'm well happy 😁
