MSR Packtowl UltraLite

MSR Packtowl UltraLite description

The MSR Packtowl UltraLite is a treat for your face, hand or body after a long day on the trail or in a bustling overseas metropolis. Made from a supple non-woven nylon and polyester microfiber, this Packtowl is extremely lightweight and super absorbent.

Bottom Line: Ultralight doesn't have to mean ultra dirty. Pack a Packtowl Ultraliteyou'll never even know it's there.

Killer. Worth both pennies. Bought the medium size for a backpacking trip to Mexico and used it a dozen times a day (no exaggeration necessary) -- at least. Great number of uses, great price, and stellar overall buy. I expect you'll be happy with this too.

I bought the large and cut off the end to use as a hand towel. You still have plenty to dry off with and also a washcloth. Doesn't feel like a terry cloth towel, but it does the trick.

I really like the towel because it fits in my coat pocket and I take it to the pool. Much better than renting a towel or carrying home a soggy one. It's like the towels they use to dry your car at the carwash, only for people.

this light absorbent towel packs down really small and is durable. we really recommend it for any camping, hiking or travelling.

The Packtowl is great. I have several. I carry one in my Jetboil between the canister and cup to keep the steel canister from rust and staining the cup and to use for cleanup. I use two mediums in my cook set to protect the nonstick coating on the pots and lids. Again they are used to cleanup. One to wash and one to dry. I had thought about the recommendation of an earlier post, buy a larger one and cut it. I decided I wanted to have the strap on every piece and I think that is the way to go. It is nice to be able to hang it in a tree or on your pack.
