They weigh a mere .3oz so very helpful where weight is a concern like in travel or backpacking. Waterproof packaging covers each piece so you always have a clean dry cloth which is good for hygiene, personal care and first aid. The material is 100 percent viscose which is made from cellulose(not oil, like microfiber). It's the most absorbent material you can buy. They are also the most energy efficient towels in that they need little energy to carry, wash and dispose. Add water to the towel or start wiping water off of you to soften and open easier.
