I took out this towel for a test run during a heavy rain day. Unfortunately, the towel did not stay dry. Granted I was golfing during an atmospheric river and it was solid rain all 4.5 hours, perhaps it would stay dry during a lighter rain day.Overall, it’s not a bad towel. It looks really nice with my bag and I really do enjoy the brillo pad insert for scrubbing dirty clubs or balls. One downside to this towel is that it takes a long time for it to dry. I’m giving it a four out of five stars just because it didn’t stay dry during a heavy rain round.
