Anyone try quick dry towels?

Have any of you tried the quick dry towels before? I'm wondering if you like them, and whether they shrink or not, and generally how well they wear. I saw that both BB&B have them and so does JCPenny's. One of my issues is that for some dumb reason we do not have a vent in our master bathroom, so in the summer, the bathroom gets unbearable muggy (I have to close the door at night, b/c the street light comes in through the bathroom window and shines into my eyes when I'm in bed), thus stinky towels very easily. I read reviews online, but they seemed kind of mixed. I have nice towels now, but they are thick and they shrunk on me, so I'm looking to replace them.

Yes, I have two from Target Home.

They did not shrink and they wash really well. I bought them over the summer to take down the shore and have worked them into our everyday stash.

They dry fairly quickly hanging up (i.e. - could use it twice in the same day without it being damp) but they dry super-quick in the dryer.

I use them for the gym. They are very effective in getting dry quick and they are soft. DH can't stand them. They aren't very absorbent... it's a bit more work to dry yourself off than with normal towels.

Thanks everyone! I didn't even realize Target had their own quick dry version too. I think I will try them out. JCP has them on sale for $5.xx per bath towel right now.

I have a Jcpenney quick dry hand towel and I really like it! I bought a small one first to try it when I replaced my towels, next time i'll buy the bigger ones too!

Thanks, I may go with the JCP brand. Maybe get a set for my master and if we like it, switch over all the bathrooms to the quick dry.

I think my mom had one of the JC Penney quick-dry towels. It was thinner and not as fluffy as other towels, but it did dry faster.
