Got the small one, which is ideal for the gym, which is what I wanted. Be sure to check the sizes depending on what you want it for. Lightweight, good quality and rolls up into the small carry bag. Haven't used or washed it yet but looks like it won't take long to dry

This Illusion Microfibre Gym Towel is a genuinely superior product compared to standard cotton towels for active use. I picked up a few for my weekly archery sessions and gym workouts, and I can confirm its technical specifications are excellent. Performance and Material Analysis: Absorption and Drying Efficiency: The microfibre composition is highly effective at wicking moisture. It absorbs sweat immediately without feeling saturated. Crucially, the "Quick Dry" claim is accurate: even after a heavy workout, I can hang it up, and it's near-dry within 30 minutes, preventing that damp, mildew smell that often plagues gym towels. Size and Portability (40x80cm): The dimensions (40x80cm) are perfect for a fitness towel—large enough to wrap around a machine handle or wipe down but small enough to fold down into a space-saving square. Its extreme lightweight nature is ideal for tossing into a gym bag without adding bulk or weight. Durability: After multiple washes, the material has maintained its softness and integrity, showing no signs of pilling or loss of absorption capacity. The tight weave also prevents snagging. The Minor Drawback (Why 4 Stars): The only reason I can't give this a full 5 stars is the slight static cling the material has right out of the wash, which makes it a little awkward to unfold sometimes. Once unfolded, it performs perfectly, but this minor inconvenience stops it from being flawless. Verdict: This towel is now an essential piece of gear for my active hobbies. If you need a high-performance, compact towel that actually dries fast, look no further. Excellent value for money!

I bought the smallest size for my grandsons. Don’t be deceived by the picture in the description as the smallest size is a lot smaller than it looks in the pic, however it is more than big enough for a gym/workout sweat towel to throw into a gym bag. Can’t comment on the effectiveness as they’re a gift as stocking fillers for Christmas but I know they’ll be pleased with them as two active sport mad boys. They feel soft durable and good quality for the price.

Yes it’s really small, decent quality though.

Really great towel to be used for sports. Was sweating buckets and this towel really helped, it is the right size and really absorbent and so different to other ones I got (and had to replace). Would definitely recommend!

Small and compact but just enough to wipe your brow when working out.

Perfect size for when gym Love it

I picked up these Illusion small microfiber gym towels thinking they’d be basic, no-frills workout towels. After using them consistently for workouts, yoga, and even a few outdoor days, they quietly earned a permanent spot in my bag. The size is exactly right for active use. At 32 by 16 inches, it’s long enough to drape over gym equipment or around my neck without feeling bulky or dragging on the floor. I can wipe it down between sets, fold it neatly on a mat, or toss it over a bench, and it just works without fuss. What really stands out is how fast it dries. I sweat a lot during workouts, and this towel absorbs moisture quickly without getting heavy or soggy. Even after an intense session, it doesn’t have that damp, unpleasant feel. I’ve thrown it in my bag post-workout, and by the time I’m home, it’s already mostly dry, which is something my cotton towels never manage. The microfiber texture is smooth and gentle on skin, not scratchy or stiff, even after washing. It stays lightweight and doesn’t pick up odors easily, which matters if you’re using it frequently for workouts or travel. I’ve washed it multiple times now, and it hasn’t lost its softness or shape. I’ve also used it outside the gym for hiking and camping, and it pulls double duty nicely. It packs down small, dries fast in open air, and feels practical rather than precious. This is one of those items that proves its value through repeated use, not hype. If you want a towel that’s efficient, easy to carry, and genuinely suited for active lifestyles, this one delivers in a very understated, dependable way.

I’ve been using this extra-large microfiber towel regularly for swimming. The size is the first thing that stands out — it’s long and wide enough to comfortably wrap around your body, which is something a lot of “travel” towels don’t manage to do well. The material is thin but very effective. It absorbs water quickly and doesn’t stay damp for long, even after swimming or showering at the gym. I usually hang it up for a short while and it’s already dry by the time I need to pack it away. That alone makes it ideal for travel or back-to-back workouts. What I really like is how compact and lightweight it is. It folds down small, doesn’t take up much space in my bag, and doesn’t add noticeable weight. I’ve used it for swimming, post-workout showers, and even a weekend trip, and it’s handled everything without any issues. It’s not thick and fluffy like a traditional cotton towel, but that’s exactly why it works so well. The stitching feels solid, and after multiple uses and washes, it still looks and performs the same. Overall, this is a very practical, well-made towel that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. If you want something that dries fast, packs small, and is actually large enough to be useful, this is an easy recommendation.
