A hotel towel cannot come to the beach, and a cotton bath towel can swallow half a carry-on. NanoDry gives a traveller enough fabric for a shower or swim, then rolls into a structured silicone case that can clip outside the bag when space is tight or the towel is still damp.
The verdict
NanoDry Large makes a strong gift for a frequent traveller because the towel, buckle loop and clip-on case feel like one considered system. The silicone case is more polished—and heavier—than a mesh pouch, and rolling the towel neatly takes practice. Most importantly, the case is for transport. Remove and hang a wet towel as soon as possible, because sealing damp fabric inside any case invites odour.

The current Large measures 52 by 24 inches and weighs 5.6 ounces, or 160 grams. It offers full-body travel coverage but is narrower and far less plush than many home bath towels.
Not quickly. Matador says to remove and hang the towel for fast drying. The case is useful during transport, but damp fabric should be aired as soon as practical.
Matador's page uses both twice its weight and 2.3 times its weight. The lower figure is the safer expectation, and actual performance depends on body size, hair and drying technique.
Shower Large is a 52-by-24-inch body towel with a clip-on case. Trek is a much smaller square for faces, hands, sweat and trail cleanup—not full shower coverage.
