I bought this small size for my disc golf bag, but here's my full review on this towel: This towel is amazing. I bought one of these 10 years ago when I bought my Lexus, and I used it to dry the car off many times. Then for some reason I stopped using it a few years ago and left it in the case in the trunk. It dried up like a piece of old cardboard, stiff and useless looking. Then I soaked it in warm water and washed it out and wrung out all the water and LIKE NEW!!!! Never rotted or got smelly. In fact, the next thing I did was put it in my gym bag and use it for a shower towel right away. Not as soft and warm as cotton, but takes NO space in my bag, and I can wring it out almost totally dry and put it right back in the tube for next time. No more gym towels in the laundry, no more remembering to take a clean towel, and my bag just got bigger! So all I have done since then is buy new ones in every size and put my old one back in the car. The 29x18 is a little easier to handle as a gym towel, but it still fits in the tube made for the 27x17, which is great. I consider it the luxury version of a somewhat spartan application for this marvelous piece of towel technology. The way this cleans up and stores (a ziploc works fine, too, for a tighter space) is almost too good to be true, but real.
