"I've been using red bandanas since boyhood, playing "Cowboys and Indians" in the 1950's. In the 1960's as a "plumbers helper" for my Dad the plumber. Then using them as "sweat bands" as a truck loader in the early 70's. Your bandanas put those old ones to shame. Yours are SUPER absorbent and quick drying and big enough to fit around my big head. ;-) I'm blown away that they are made from recycled plastic. I love your company!"
"These are my favorite towels for travel as they take up little space, dry quickly, and are much better than those provided when you travel. You can select colors to stand out or blend in with your swimsuit, it is up to you. I am a travel agent and I personally travel with these towels and I give them as gifts."
"Great pattern, the Original Towel is very versatile, still very lightweight, packable, and my favorite is how easily it sheds unwanted debris as well as dry very quickly. 10/10."
"Looks fabulous! All five that I ordered seem to be exactly what I thought they would be. All are Christmas gifts and I think will be a great beach, travel, and probably sometimes a daily towel for all of us. Really well made and packable and seem absorbent. Go Nomadix! Well done."
"Just the perfect fabric and size"
"These are so compact, yet absolutely absorbent! We used them to conveniently visit a hot springs in Iceland. So chic!"
"The best towel for every occasion love it so nice and compact"
"The towel is the greatest. Grippy for yoga and absorbent for the sweat. Awesome."
"Stylish and drys really quick, can pack it very tightly and it’s light!"
