Comments about Lightload Towels Mini Towel - 12" x 12" - Package of 2:

I have been using these for many years. I use one as a dish drying cloth, and generally throw it away after a week trek as it begins to get too dirty. They can be washed to a degree.

At this price and weight you won't find a better towel!

Comments about Lightload Towels Mini Towel - 12" x 12" - Package of 2:

I'm always looking for a good quality product for a great deal, and this is only a great deal for individual trips. It would be better to invest in a nice lightweight towel that will last multiple trips. These work great for washing your face or feet at the end of the day, but doesn't do much for drying off after jumping in the lake or river. The package mentions they could be used as an emergency fire starter, so may keep a couple around just in case.

Comments about Lightload Towels Mini Towel - 12" x 12" - Package of 2:

Received one of these as a freebie during a demonstration at an outdoor store. Works fantastically for wiping away sweat during a hot hike. Sure beats a cotton bandanna in this regard, much softer too. Effortlessly wrings dry in one hand. You cannot do that with a bandanna. Great product, however, durability is lacking. It will last for 2-3 hikes, but that's about it. Consider it disposable.

Comments about Lightload Towels Mini Towel - 12" x 12" - Package of 2:

Not bad for[$] per towel. Made of viscose, similar to a Handi Wipe. Weighs .5 oz, lighter than a bandanna, heavier than a Packtowl Nano Small. Just don't expect too much. Mine survived a 300 mile PCT section hike, only to get shredded in the washer when I got home.
