My 12 y/o trains on the varsity swimming team. He is at the pool everyday. Since he doesn't like chamois, is this a good alternative? Does it dry fast

These are amazing towels. I have three girls and they all love my towel and will be buying one for each one of them. The towel dries in seconds and it dries amazingly quick. I use it as my surf towel. Not only does it dry quick, but my girls all use mine at the beach and it dries everyone.

It has a nice soft touch and will dry you off without that sensation chamois leaves (that you still feel a little wet) it dries fast but you need some sun or breeze. i was a swimmer my whole teen years, this towel would have work wonders on a competition day.

It does dry fast. However, if he doesn't like chamois he probably won't like this either. It's pretty much the same thing. You have to blot to soak up water.

Honestly I don't know, but it's got the consistency of lip balm, so it's easy to get a nice, thick layer on. We've never had any problems with it at the pool.

I believe the label says it is good for 2 hours unless worn off from perspiration or swimming, then apply more frequently. I use it for my daughter and me, and it works very well.

i dont think it dries too fast. You should be able to do that.I know you can add an oil like mineral oil to help it from drying out.you can also just buy a green sperate,I know there not too much.they usally have

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

It absorbs some sweat, but it is not ever dripping. I think it is best to leave your mat rolled out to dry after practice with any mat.

Yep, most chamois do, it's to keep it in its flexible state. Once a chamois dries it gets hard and you need to wet/soak it and wring it out for it to be used as a towel again. So don't be concerned when it gets hard once it dries, it's supposed to. That's one reason I like them for diving, when I travel I'm not lugging around a soaked towel and it dries before I need to travel again. It usually only takes a couple of hours for them to dry out, less if you live in a really dry climate.Hope that helps!

Yup, pretty quick drying. The sizes run small though so order appropriately :-)

It dries pretty quickly. I waited about half an hour just to be sure. It is really great stuff!

Well I would say no. I use it, and it's back to soggy in less than a minute. Also it leaves a lot of dryness and my skin peals off. I hope this is helpful.

No, I have not used The Absorber Chamois as a cooling towel. It absorbs water quickly. Great for drying car or boat.

I used a paper kitchen towel to clean out the corners and crevices and then put a couple of dry paper towels in there to bulk it out and keep the corners opened while it dried. I usually left it for 24 hrs to dry. I used this for a marathon training season of about five months, twice a week and it stayed pretty clean. Next year I will probably replace the bladder, tube, mouthpiece; etc rather than risk bacteria forming over the winter.For the price this is a great product; just work out how to use it best for your needs, wash it and allow it to dry and you won't be disappointed.

Like a chamois, yes. Strong, absorbent and is easy to "ring out" the water and keep reusing. When I'm done with each car I rinse it thoroughly and hang to dry. Then it's ready for the next use. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to "machine wash" this product. So far washing by hand is suitable.

I use mine as a pool towel, but it doubles as a sarong too. I love it. Dries so much faster than a regular towel.

My 10 year old son used this with ease , we have never put it in salt water only fresh water. It is very fast so you def. want room for it. We put it in the pool but it runs out of room quick so my son gets tired of that but we went to a ditch and a pond and it did great.

I would not recommend the SportLite towel. It's absorbant, but totally not warm and fuzzy.
