I got a wicking swim towel for Christmas, and I want to know if anyone knows where I can get more. It's called the Wick-er Warmup Towel, it's made by Discovery Trekking Outfitters. It's quite large, very thin, dries faster than anything I've used before. Also gives some sun protection according to the label. I haven't seen them in stores. It was purchased in Canada at a swim meet I think, or maybe online. Anyone heard of these? I think it might be very new on the market.
Dont confuse it with a chamois towel, it's nothing like that. Much better in my opinion.
Alison, did you get the large size? how is it? I keep hearing it's "huge". Is it pool friendly? I can't wait to try mine out.
For swimming I'd definitely recommend the largest size. I just measured mine; it's 32" x 62". But it literally folds up into the size of a folded t-shirt.
For you new users, be prepared for it to feel very weird the first time you use it. The fabric feels somewhat like swimsuit fabric. It's very deceiving - at first it doesn't feel like it's absorbing anything at all. But all of a sudden you realize that it's working, and that it really soaks up a lot of water.
