I traveled with a small travel towel through out Europe and that thing was a life saver but I always wished it was bigger since it got drenched because of my massively long hair! So even though it dried faster than most towels it was always a bit damp when I needed to get a move on since it was so small. But that's not going to be a problem with this massive towel! Frigging awesome! And I got one for my dad an stepmom too! They are super excited!
