| doglover's Full Review: Aquis Body Towel |
As you may know from my other reviews, I enjoy kayaking. And if you are a kayaker, you know that you will get wet eventually. I was getting frustrated because no matter what towel I would bring or how hot it was or where I laid my towel, it never seemed to dry in time and I ended up with a wet, soggy towel in my backpack that took up alot of my packing space. This was especially hard to handle in situations when you go camping and the weather is very cold.
I resolved this problem one day while wandering through the AAA travel store in San Mateo, California. While there, I found this Aquis towel in a light gray that was unbelievably slim. I looked at it and thought, how can this towel me down properly since it was so slim. But on a cold fall night at the surrounding June Lake near Mono Lake, I found that this towel dried me off well and dried up even in the cold night weather. This was especially important, since that camp site had only one bathroom for the whole campsite and there were 10 women in this bathroom that had one shower and two bathroom stalls, and it was important to get out of there as soon as possible. The towel was a little pricey at $29.99 but I take that towel everywhere with me keeping it in my workout bag since it takes up so little space and taking it on all my camping trips and kayaking adventures.

Conclusion
If you want a big, snuggly towel to cuddle into, this is not the towel for you. This is a utilitarian towel, that is extremely slim, lightweight, and won't smell up your luggage because it is still wet after use. It is a must for campers, hikers, and adventure-oriented people that want to clean up, move out quickly, and carry the minimum.
