Discovery Trekking hiking/travel towel. Can go from immersed in water to dry in a matter of minutes. Rolls up smaller than a thin t-shirt. Been using my full grown man strength to wring this thing out for over 10 years now and it could still pass as new.Submitted by Hybrid978 t3_zxizlp in BuyItForLife

I sweat a lot so that could help me a lot, but Im wondering what they do to achieve this? Doesnt sound like that is normal? Like unhealthy for the skin unnormal

It's just the fabric, 100% polyester according to the label. Made in USA/Canada. I have sensitive skin and have never been bothered.
I don't know how it works, but I'm pretty sure any weird chemicals would have washed out of this a long long time ago.

Does it soak a lot of water or does cotton do a lot more? Because it would make sense, my sportwear also does dry a lot faster since it has a lot of surface area for the amount of soaked water.
Generally thank you for the post, I woll look forward into it buying such a towel. I agree the chemicals would be long time gone in 10 years. Did you use softener on it?

It's about half the size of a normal towel and I can dry my entire body with it. Probably mainly dries so fast because of how much water you can squeeze out of it.
I didn't use softener on it for a while, but after several years, I gave up on the washing instructions and just started throwing it in with the rest of my clothes. I've honestly seen a little bit of a difference in the texture of the fabric over time, but it still works like a charm.
