    Comments about REI MultiTowel Lite - Medium:

    I never hit the trail without it! This thing has been SO incredibly useful!

    I use it to dry off after a dip in the water, to dry my face after sweating, as a pot handle, to get water out of a leaky tent, to use as a pad for my mountain bike in case it bangs against the trunk of my car, and so on.

    The medium size is about the size of a large handtowel. It can be used to dry off your entire body after a shower, but it may be a little tough to wrap it around to cover your back, even for a guy like me who's only 5'10" 145lb. If you plan on going car camping, step up to a large towel for shower use.

    This thing absorbs water like crazy and wrings out very easily. Just twist it and let the water pour out, and it's good to go to absorb again. It's easy to clean out a whole tent with this. It's helpful for several people to use to dry off, as you can just wring it out once it gets soaked and it's good to go again.

    I like the thickness and texture MUCH better than the other towels REI sells. You can go to the store and check 'em out, but the others are more like a car mechanic's paper towel while this is more like an actual towel. It's not as smooth as a cotton towel, so you don't wanna be too rough on your face, but it's fine.

    It comes with a strap and a little buckle which you can use to hang your towel on a branch or something to dry, to clip around something the towel is protecting, or to clip onto a strap on the outside of your pack while you leave it out to dry when hiking. The plastic clip is easy to connect and detach and I've never had a problem with it disconnecting when it shouldn't.

    It's great for dayhikes when you know you'll need to dry off, as well as backpacking if you're short on space.

    Comments about REI MultiTowel Lite - Medium:

    I like having this little towel, I have used it for car-camping, traveling overseas and yoga class. However, I don't really feel like I've used it that many times and it has areas that are becoming compressed/threadbare. I'm not sure why. It's not as absorbent as I would like for sweat, in yoga class and I assume that it would be a problem for the gym too. It worked fine as a towel to use after my sun-shower - but what towel wouldn't work in the desert? I like the idea of the clip, but I haven't found it useful.

      Comments about REI MultiTowel Lite - Medium:

      This is a great towel to take in luggage, for trips when you'll be staying in hostels. It's light and packs small, but is as absorbent as a large towel. The medium-size towel was sufficent for my needs; I'd rather pack 2 smaller towels than one larger towel.
