I purchased three Venture 4th Microfiber towels for my children ages 4 and 7 for swim lessons and meets. I bought red and pink in size medium and gray in size large.After a couple of washes the red and pink towels are not quite as vibrant as before they were washed but still look nice.My 7 year old son prefers the medium size towel for drying off after practice and between events because the large is too big for him and awkward to use. My son loves how well the towel dries his body and bathing suit.I only have to send one medium size towel to swim meets with 5 or more events. The swim bag is no longer stuffed to capacity and much lighter to carry.I love the little carrying cases. They keep the towel clean and the bag organized. The towels actually fit very nicely in the carrying cases and are easy to put into the case!I was not sure what to expect from these towels because I have not had luck with microfiber towels in the past. I was also a little nervous about the size. I wasn't sure if the medium would be too small. I do think it would be better if it was one or two inches longer and wider.I chose this brand because there was not one negative review. Although I was skeptical about that too. How can there not be one negative review? Although, I have to agree with all of the positive5 star reviews on this towel. Very soft, functional towel, and the price is not bad.If you are looking for a soft, light, compact towel that will dry your body off then you cannot go wrong with this towel.
