Chamois Pool Towels
Now, at the extreme other end of high-performance sports towels, you may have noticed divers in the Olympics using chamois towels.
‘Chamois’ refers to the type of fabric (the weave), and come in a soft
felt-like finish (chamois or shammy) or a smoother finish.
One drawback with chamois towels is that they feel like you are rubbing yourself with wet blue jeans, and are not big enough to wrap up in like other towels, so have no value in keeping you warm other than to dry you off. If you are a diver or are into ultra-lightweight camping, a chamois towel might be the best towel for you due to its size and the fact that they dry off pretty quickly when wrung-out. They are strictly functional, however, so don’t expect this to be anyone’s favorite towel around the pool at home.
The actual material used in a chamois (shammy) towel is PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) which must be kept wet between uses, and so are sold in plastic cases. If too dry, they turn into a brittle cardboard-like texture, and if put away too wet, they will grow mildew. They are small, which makes them portable, but once inside their plastic carrying case they are no smaller than most microfiber towels.
