Great for Trips to the Lake,

This review is from: Aquis Doggie Dryer Microfiber Pet Towel, Red, Extra Large (29 x 55-Inches) (Health and Beauty)
I bought this to try it out based on a friend's recommendation. Previously I'd always packed a couple old ratty towels with the dog's stuff before heading to the lake or the beach. Now I only need one towel and it dries like you'd never believe. I have a 65 pound dog that loves the water. I make him shake the water off himself (a trick as important as sit or lay down when you have a dog this big) then I towel him dry in less than a minute. I now own 3 of these towels and have purchased them for just about anyone I know with a dog that gets wet. We live in Seattle so not only are we surrounded by lakes other bodies of water, but we have rainy winters. Having one of these towels hanging behind the door with the coats was a god send this winter as well. I can't speak enough praise about this towel. Though a $30 pricetag for a meer towel could seem daunting, believe me when I tell you this is worth it. You'll end up buying two.

This review is from: Aquis Doggie Dryer Microfiber Pet Towel, Red, Extra Large (29 x 55-Inches) (Health and Beauty)
Although this is marketed as a dog towel, it appears to be exactly the same size and quality as their bath towels, just a different colour. Their regular bath towels come in very boring colours, this is a nice deep red.
As to the towel itself, I love them. They are as absorbent as they say, and they are lightweight (great for traveling) and easy to wash, either by hand as they dry quickly, or in the washer, where they leave no lint in the dryer like ordinary towels. I highly recommend them.

This review is from: Aquis Doggie Dryer Microfiber Pet Towel, Red, Extra Large (29 x 55-Inches) (Health and Beauty)
These are great lightweight towels that actually feel like real towels (unlike the camping sponge or felt ones). They fold up and take little room, so you can stack a few in the back of your car, or in your bag to take to the beach. I have them in all the colours.
This towel is offered in Aquis' original fabric - Lisse Crepe. The red is only available in sizes L & XL.
Update (Sept 1, 2010):
These red towels BLEED from being over-dyed. Multiple washings are needed to rinse out the extra dye. This is not a towel to be used right out of the packet. The other colours are much better (dark blue bleeds a little too, but clears up by the second wash). After the extra dye has been washed out, the towel does not look faded or worn.
If there is a need to use the towel right out of the packet, then I would recommend the white & pastel colours that this towel also comes in. The fabric is described as Lisse Crepe under the other listings.
