Having spotted the Easidri at a boat show earlier this year, we were intrigued, which is not something we often say about a towel. The Easidri is basically a squidgy cloth than purports to absorb fifty per cent more water than chamois and is three times as fast. When we put this to the test, we found it did indeed dry and clean the surface quickly, and without leaving streaks. While we cannot test the claim it lasts for years, it certainly seems both very durable and a worthwhile investment.

Price: From £8.40
