It delivers.
My husband and I enjoy camping. So much it's pretty much exclusively the way we go on vacation. We typically visit the east coast in the Carolinas (this is important for the review, I promise lol). Whenever we camp we typically stay at a state park due to health reasons that involve needing to have an electrical hookup, and we tent camp, so we have to use the bathroom facilities on site. Plus the state parks in the Carolinas are lovely, but that's besides the point.I'm not sure about you guys but if you've ever camped in South Carolina in the middle of fall it's about as hot and humid as a construction worker's armpit in the middle of summer. It's sticky. Needless to say, I was tired of our beach and bathing towels never drying out and just being heavy and awkward and taking up too much room when we pack and being a general P.I.T.A whenever we have to go shower (we also have 2 golden retrievers that go everywhere with us... They're sponges. They love water. We camp on the coast. I think you can see where I'm going with this).I decided enough was enough and I was going to look at some alternatives to regular terry cloth towels. After some reviewing, I found these towels. I convinced my skeptical husband to pick out a color- Navy- and I got the orange. They arrived quickly and were well packaged. I laundered them before we used them and I was a little concerned they were going to be difficult to fold back up properly to fit back into the case- I was worried for nothing. Just pay attention when you unfold them for the first time and you'll see how the manufacturer folded them and it's very easy to replicate. They fit back in their cases just fine. You basically fold it in half like a hamburger and then fold it in half like a hotdog until it's the width of the case, then fold it like a half hamburger until it's small enough to fit in the case. Easier than folding a map, but if you're worried practice it with the towel a couple times before you wash it so the creases in the fabric can guide you. Now to the meat of the review.The TowelsI love the material they're made of. It's soft in both texture and hand feel, and it's a quality & sturdy material that's still very lightweight. It's incredibly absorbant and dries very quickly, even in the humidity of the southern US east coast. They don't smell funky or mildewy even after a couple days of use. The strap on the corner is an incredibly thoughtful design and is great for hanging the towels up in the bathroom or in the tent to dry. The colors did not bleed on the first wash, even washing the orange and navy together, and appear to be holding well. The overlock stitching on the edges is made with a soft thread that isn't rough in the slightest and does not scratch- I'm a hobbyist seamstress and I'm impressed by the quality and evenness of the stitching. I feel though, at the end of the day, if anything wears out, it will be the stitching, but I don't believe it's a quality issue with the materials. Just regular wear over time. I have short hair, as does my husband, so unfortunately I can't weigh in on how well the towels handle drying long hair. It does great with short hair, though I do have to say it's weird the first couple times drying your hair with fabric that isn't terry cloth. It still works great, just very interesting sensory-wise.The CaseThe case gets it's own part of the review because I like it so much and it multiplies the convenience of the towels tenfold. Firstly, I love the design and it tickles the magpie part of my brain that the accent colors match the towel. Is it functional outside of color matching? No. Does it give my brain serotonin? Yes. Yes it does. I also love the laser cut outs in the case. It lets the towel breathe after it's folded up on the off chance there's still moisture in the fabric so it doesn't mold. If you have Trypophobia you may want to avoid it though. I love the little clip that's on the case- that's just plain handy and seems sturdy. The zipper is quite nice too- it hasn't snagged the fabric of the towel yet. It's a well made case with a rubberized outside and a soft fabric lining and a rubberized zipper. I suspect the first thing to wear out would be the zipper, but I imagine it would take a *lot* of wear to achieve that or unusual use or an accident.Overall I would highly recommend this towel. My husband was so impressed that he asked if we could get 2 of the largest size towels for the dogs. If you knew my husband that speaks volumes of itself- he's very critically minded and values function above form. Regular towels are bulky and take up too much space. These are convenient, pack down to practically nothing, are lightweight, absorbant, and dry quickly. They do exactly as advertised. Once I get the towels for the dogs (they're our children and are absolutely spoiled haha) I'll write another review to let folks know how they hold up to two very active golden retrievers with a preference for retrieving mud and dirt and all other delightful gifts from nature. If you're on the fence I would definitely go for it!

Summer Must Have
I absolutely love these towels! I got rid of almost every other beach towel in our home because these take up minimal space and get the job done. We went with size large for our kids (age 3 & 4 - plenty big) & XXL for us adults. I pack all four towels for a day out on the water but sometimes, we only take out one big one to use on all of us when we are drying off because it’s so absorbing. They’re so easy to fold back up and put in the case that my 4 year old does his own. I throw them in my bogg bag and still have so much room whereas huge beach towels would previously take up the whole bag (attached picture of all four of them in the right side of my bag). Definitely recommend! Also attached picture of my kids with the size large for reference!

Small towel, big drying ability
I originally bought the extra large & small towels. The extra large towel was too big to fit in my backpack so I only took along the x-small. Come to find out that’s all you need to dry yourself off. I’m 5’11, 170lbs male & it dried me off completely with no problem. If you’re a backpacker or light traveler, this will work great for you. Hung it up with the loop & it dried quickly. It takes up VERY MINIMUM space or, like me, you can just clip it on the outside of your backpack.

Good for camping
We bought a number of these for camping to conserve space. They are fairly compact but difficult to get back into case. We just roll them up and store. They dry very quickly compared to Terry cloth towels. We bought several XL towels for showering. They are actually too large. They are 5ft long and drag on shower floor if you are not careful. We bought the XL because we were concerned about absorbency but if I had to do again I would buy Large instead.

Incredible product
I bought two of these, one for my husband, and one for my son. They are currently at Scout jamboree in West Virginia, and their towels have been the talk among his group. They soak up the moisture from your body like a regular towel, and they dry super quickly, even in the humidity they have had to deal with. The only downfall I have with this product is that it is really hard to put back into the pouch.

Great camping towels
We took several of these towels in different sizes while we recently went camping. I loved the small compact design with the case. They worked well for drying off after our shower and did not stink after drying. These worked way better than some of the other towels we tried in the past. Just an fyi though, it does not glide over your skin like a normal towel because of the material, but it does an amazing job of drying your body. I wasn’t expecting it too, but wanted to give people a heads up in case they thought different. I will definitely be buying more to have on hand for our next trip.

Takes Less space but tricky to stuff into case
I bought one and just ordered another. My goal is for our vacation bags and beach bags to take up less space. These towel’s definitely take up less space than a regular beach towel. I love that it fits in my toiletry kit. As a beach towel they collect less sand than terry loops. They dry faster than a regular towel especially hung in some sun and breeze.I noticed that a couple reviews mistook the brand name “4Monster” to mean that they were getting 4 giant towels. Make sure you select the size & color you want. You are purchasing one at a time.It is tricky to figure out how to fold so that it will fit back in the case. I wouldn’t expect the kids will do it on their own. My case DID come with the little carabiner. I chose not to use the case. I love that the towel has a loop with a snap for hanging.

Lightweight and dries quickly
I bought these to bring to the water park. Regular beach towels are bulky and very heavy when wet. These are so small and lightweight. They dry our bodies faster than a traditional towel and are so small that they easily fit under the stroller or in a backpack. The best part is that they dry super fast.

Muy buena calidad
La tela de la toalla es microfibra, por lo tanto es para limpiar superficies no tan húmedas pero delicadas. Recomendada para limpieza de la cara en bebés. El estuche es perfecto!

Muy rígidas
Si bien si secan, el material se siente muy rígido. Las instrucciones indican que no se utilice suavizante cuando se lava sin embargo, parece una hoja de cartón absorbente. La talla M está muy pequeña a lo esperado y la talla XL está bastante grande
