Very useful cloth, but I primarily use mine to dry my vehicle so I don't get water spots. I have used these with hot weather motorcycle riding. I would wet one, wring it out, then put it on top of a wicking tshirt (which would wet as well), and then zip on a mesh textile jacket over it. As I rode the evaporation would dry the towel and the tshirt, and would cool me off. My only negative is that I have had little success cleaning these once they get dirty/stained; I just buy new ones every couple of years.
