5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased January 3, 2007

By A. Birkmeyer

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Packtowl September 14, 2007

By M. L. Benavides

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great towel, dries quick May 18, 2010

By Steffen G. Oeser

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.
