Which one should you buy?

For most people the Dock & Bay Extra Large is the sweet spot: sand-free, quick-dry, packs into its own pouch and backed by more reviews than anything else here. Want two towels for the price of one, or a soft cotton feel? The LANE LINEN Turkish 2-pack is the better buy. On the tightest budget, the SUN NINJA microfibre does the job for under fifteen dollars.
