Pleased January 3, 2007
Color Name:Apricot| Size Name:Medium|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have used this product now as a self supported bicycle rider for two years. I am pleased with the product. It's not real soft and fluffy like a thick towel but does a great job in absorbing water after a shower or stream bath and dries fast. It's as practical as can be for what I got it for! It also is very compact and light in the pack. The one piece of advice I have is to not get a smaller version but go with the larger size. The additional weight and bulk in nothing and having the additional towel surface is worth it.

Okay Packtowl September 14, 2007
Color Name:Apricot|Size Name:Small
The towel works well, it is small about the size of a wash cloth. The size makes it very handy for hiking. It is very absorbent, but takes a while to dry. When both fully wet, my wife's Large REI MultiTowel dried in a 4th of the time.

This towel is awesome. I took it backpacking for 6 months and it worked like a charm. It dried quick and took up little space. Even after backpacking I still keep it around for the gym. I can use it as a workout towel or for the shower after. I don't mind leaving it in my gym bag because it just doesn't take up any space.
I would have given it a 5, but I did notice that when backpacking that it tended to pickup the smells of my dirty clothes rather easily. It aired out fairly well, but it probably has something to do with the material its made of. A lot of my friends and family ended up buying one after seeing mine.

Ordered this item thinking I was getting the MSR Packtowl Personal, which is perfect for taking on bike rides. Not this item! Read more

I use it when I go touring coz it is so compact it hardly takes up any space! They r a lil smallish for me, so I'm gonna get the largest size next.

My thoughts--for what they're worth.
I must admit, as I set out on my Appalachian Trail hike, I had never used a packtowel, of any sort/brand. This one was the first and only I had ever used. Read more

Stinky little thing
I bought this for a trip across Europe, and while it beat out a regular towel (much lighter), it was a huge disappointment. Read more

Buy the REI brand travel towels instead!
This towel is literally like a piece of paper towel or guaze. The REI line of travel towels are much more comfortable and soft and still are quick dry. Read more

Great for the outdoors or traveling
If you need a compact, super-absorbant towel for any reason at all, you need one of these towels. It comes in a great pouch that it can fit into relatively easily and certainly... Read more

Good- buy the biggest one.
I love this towel for not only as a small cloth, but as a camping towel. It is smaller than you think it is when you buy it. Read more

Going lite - but at a cost?
Ok - I read reviews on this item but no-one said that size L is a bit larger than a towelette......so I am exchanging for XL....more $$ than I had hoped to spend. Read more
