I play tennis in NW Florida. We have high humidity in the Summer and I need an effective wrist band to help me keep my racquet grip dry. These are the best wrist bands I've found. I just bought 10 of these bands after using the others I bought for a year. I also have several Wilson and an Under Armour wrist band. The Wilson bands are too thick and are difficult to dry properly. The Under Armour band isn't made of much natural fiber and it feels rough when I wipe around my face and eyes. I won't be buying any more of either more expensive competitor sweat bands in the future. I measured all 10 bands and they were all from just over 6" to 6 1/2" so they meet my standard for being approximately 6 1/2". The others I've had for over a year have not shrunk much and are still very wide, absorbent and dry well. I would also recommend washing these before wearing them to remove any fabric sizing from the manufacturing process.

I was looking for a 6 inch wrist towel for tennis. This item is listed as 6 1/2 inch and I thought it would be great. Upon receiving them, they all measure 5 1/2 inches long, one inch shorter than indicated. Bad advertisement.

A bit too long for my taste. I prefer the regular double wide band.

I needed a long wrist band to protect the finish of my bass guitar from my arm constantly rubbing on it. I was using two small ones together, but they wouldn't stay together. The wrist towel was exactly what I needed.

I personally am using it for work. I think it's great, it's on you but you are not really carrying it. The downside is that it gets caught on edges or splints of any surface and it gets snagged very easily, but I guess that would be true of any towel-like material. I'm loving it.
