        Comments about MSR PackTowl Personal Towel - Large:

        This is a great towel...ok, so a little more like a chamois than a towel, but we arently looking for warm fuzzy comfort. If you are looking to feel warm and cuddly, get something different, if you are looking to get dry and press on then this is for you. After a quick shower or dip just hang it on your backpack and it will be dry an hour or so into the hike. Also, it seems to not get that musty odor so bad, maybe because it doesnt have the bulk. Definite recommend.

          Comments about MSR PackTowl Personal Towel - Large:

          This is a great little towel. Perfect for backpacking or quick road trip rest stop refreshes. Packs small, is lightweight and does the job well.

          I'm a big weirdo about getting completely dry before throwing on clothes, especially in the backcountry when taking good care of feet and such to prevent blisters and chafing. This small wonder sucks up every last drop.

            Comments about MSR PackTowl Personal Towel - Large:

            I took this towel to Philmont Scout Ranch (PSR) in northern New Mexico, it preformed greatly on my 11 day, 100+ mile trek. This towel was used on the rare occasions that we were in a camp that had a shower or if we wanted to take a quick dip into a river or lake.

            I thought this product was great due to it's light, compact nature and quick drying. When i had a 60 lb pack on, it was great that i didn't have to lug around a heavy wet towel. after using this towel i was able to squeeze 95% of all water out of it, when i got to camp and hung the towel, it dried in 30-40 minutes.

            i have since stopped using cotton towels in my and use my packtowl instead. while the towels are soft upon purchase, washing them makes them even softer and more absorbent (or so i have found).

            a note of caution to people who are thinking of purchasing this towel, the dimensions are 16.5x36. but i wear a size 30 waist and the towel length was just a bit too short to be secured around my waist.

            Regardless of the above statement, this towel is amazing and worth every penny.

              I took this towel on a 6-day backpacking trip and it worked great. It is lightweight, highly absorbent, dries very quickly, and comes with its own small pouch. These are features all highly desirable for backpackers. A must in my pack and camping gear from here on out.
