      Comments about MSR PackTowl UltraLite Towel - X- Large:

      Used for 6 months. Awesomely light, dries quick(3-4 hours), packs small. Not incredible if you have a lot of body hair. Needs to be washed about once every two weeks. An extra pull tab maybe would be better for hanging on a shower curtain rod.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about MSR PackTowl UltraLite Towel - X- Large:

          Bought this for a 16 day kayaking trip through the Grand Canyon. It absorbs water. It dries fast. But it felt almost like sandpaper. Fortunately, I also brought the super soft one by MSR(MSR Pack Towel Personal Bath Towel). Buy that one. It is greeeeeeeeeeat! Maybe the ultralight should be discontinued.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

              Past camping towels that I have owned were worthless! This one dried me and still could have soaked up more water. The great thing was that it dried quickly and was very light for backpacking.
