To many people 10 years ago seems like last month.

Depends on how you interpret "for life". Does that mean you bought it new recently and you're hoping you'll never need to buy another one? Or does it mean something acquired a long, long time ago and it's still fully usable?

It's about half the size of a normal towel and I can dry my entire body with it. Probably mainly dries so fast because of how much water you can squeeze out of it.

I didn't use softener on it for a while, but after several years, I gave up on the washing instructions and just started throwing it in with the rest of my clothes. I've honestly seen a little bit of a difference in the texture of the fabric over time, but it still works like a charm.

I had forgotten about the "situpon" as it was called in my girl guides camping kit list. I have a folding one from girl guides that was waterproof on one side and fabric on the other to double as a
camp pillow. It also manages to fit in a square cushion cover so now it has a second life as a couch cushion, 20 years later.

Does it soak a lot of water or does cotton do a lot more? Because it would make sense, my sportwear also does dry a lot faster since it has a lot of surface area for the amount of soaked water.

Generally thank you for the post, I woll look forward into it buying such a towel. I agree the chemicals would be long time gone in 10 years. Did you use softener on it?

You would just set up multiple payment cards in your PayPal account, then when you go to pay on the site, choose "PayPal" at checkout. It would then redirect you to your PayPal account, where you'd see the option to "split payment." You specify how you want it split there, and when you're returned to the Pendleton website, it just shows "PayPal" as the payment method. Pendleton doesn't know anything about how the payment is being handled by PayPal.

It's just the fabric, 100% polyester according to the label. Made in USA/Canada. I have sensitive skin and have never been bothered.

I don't know how it works, but I'm pretty sure any weird chemicals would have washed out of this a long long time ago.
