Pros & Cons
Pros
The brazilian colors are an added plus as this is the towel i'll be using on my annual trips to brazil. It's a serviceable towel that travels well. Bought 2 face towels & body towels for traveling in the rv.
Low-pile microfiber towel with a snap and a carry sack. It packs down to a small bag that even has room for other small items. Packs very well into its small, zippered carry pouch.
Cons
The 'personal' is so flat-surfaced that it doesn't glide across body parts as one is drying them at all. Texture is like cardboard.
Highlights
Quality
