Made of a unique material called PVA, The Absorber is vastly superior to a terrycloth towel and leather chamois. A uniform, sponge-like pore structure enhances capillary action, giving The Absorber drying capabilities no other product can match. The Absorber has endless uses that include cooling your skin in the summer or after a workout and drying your dog. With proper care The Absorber lasts for years and can be stored moist and ready to use in its handy tube.
