Discount Discovery Trekking Outfitters Ultra Fast-Dry Towel, 34x58-Inch

Customer Ratings:

I just came back from 7 days hiking Kilimanjaro. I had the small DTO towel with me and was the only person with a DTO product on our trek (30 people total). We didn't see a lot of `water' but did have a water to wash with each morning. I used one end as a facecloth as needed, the rest as a towel. An hour later I would stuff the towel in my duffel back and forget it it was that dry. My tent mate would hang her towel up to dry all night long but the temperatures hovered around 0C at night and were often damp. I don't think her travel towel every completely dried. I don't know that mine ever got totally wet. Our sleeping bags were covered in condensation each morning. I simply set the towel on top of the bag for a few seconds and moved it around. The towel absorbed the water without having to rub and prevented my sleeping bag from getting damp. Seven days of hiking later I stuffed the towel into my suitcase and didn't look at it for another 3 days when I got home. No smell at all despite never having a rinse or wash of the actual towel.

Today I did another test. I washed my Sheltie who is full coat and used the larger sized towel to dry him off. He has never been that dry after just a towel rub before. The ultimate test was next. Sheltie number two hit the shower and I used the same (already wet) towel to dry him off. Not only did it dry him but when I hit a spot where I had not rinsed off all the soap I was able to use the towel to get the soap off without having to re rinse the dog. Not sure I'd do that with a fully soaped dog but for a spot treatment it was great! If you need a market for these towels you might want to try to dog show circuit. In my opinion these are not only great travel towels but the best thing I have ever used on a dog!

Discovery Trekking Outfitters Ultra Fast-Dry Towel, 16x28-Inch, Weighs 2.6oz

I bought two of these towels size 16" x 28" and a 34" x 58" beach size towel. I intended to use one of the small hand towels for gym workout and the other beach and hand towel for while playing beach volleyball. I found the hand towel for gym workout did not offer enough absorbency to be effective. The material is very thin and immediately becomes saturated and in my gym environment and did not dry out during my workouts of approximately 1 1/2 hours. At the beach the towel lack the thickness of material to readily absorb enough moisture though it does dry out quickly in the outdoor environment. I feel that the manufacture has given up towel thickness to promote quicker towel drying as opposed to more moisture absorbing capacity. In my opinion the towels did not perform and are not worth what I paid for them. I will add that I had better performance from some cheaper hand towels I brought from Harbor Freight.

It dries fast, but you still have to wash it or there will be odors. Maybe not as bad if it didn't have the silver thread. But odors will exist if you don't wash it once in a while. I would say that it's almost too big. I think I could have saved myself some money and size and gotten only the small ultra light towels. But it's softer and warmer then then ultralight towels.

These towels are SO much better then those chamois towels. Don't event think about getting one of those towels. Get a Discovery Trekking Outfitters towel. You will not be sorry.

Honest reviews on Discovery Trekking Outfitters Ultra Fast-Dry Towel, 34x58-Inch

I purchased this based on reviews I saw here and on some swimming forums. I swim in the mornings before work and was tired of having a soggy towel in the trunk of my car for the entire day. I'm very happy with this product. It's very small to pack and by the time I am finished dressing, drying my hair, etc. and am ready to head out for work after the swim, it is already fairly dry. Yes, it will start to smell after some use like any towel would if stuffed back in a bag while still damp, but it generally is much better than with a conventional towel. Will be great for travel/camping.

I got this towel for a cruise and was so happy. It is super light and portable, dries you off well, and dries very quickly. I now use it in my gym bag and wonder why I ever lugged around an old fashion towel.
