I have a couple of Aquis long hair towels my ex bought from Bed Bath and Beyond. They're microfiber, but feel like cotton. As someone mentioned, they don't slide along your skin, so you pat dry. They are amazingly absorbent, but dry quickly. I hang mine off the back of my chair for about an hour and it's dry enough to pack for the ride home and wash before next use. I've taken it camping and had no problems using it for a week, as long as you let it fully dry after use.
