          Comments about PackTowl Personal Towel:

          Works amazing. It sticks to your body a lot when you are wet, but that is because of how absorbent it is. I love this. I always use it when I travel or hike to lakes and rivers. I use it when I swim at the gym and simply ring it out and it is ready to go.

            Comments about PackTowl Personal Towel:

            Lets be honest, I was skeptical about this one. I had one in the past and it was a lot like a car towel. But I have to say that this one is a great improvement over the last one! It doesn't feel like a normal towel, but for those of us limited on space, it fits the bill. I used it on a trip to Central America. Since I could only do laundry once a week the towel didn't smell and dried quickly.

                Comments about PackTowl Personal Towel:

                I picked this up before heading to Yosemite and it has proven to be useful in more situations than camping. Its compact size and great absorption is valuable whether I'm simply at the pool or heading to the beach. All for a great price!

                  I took this on a backpacking trip to Thailand and I found it to be space saving with the pouch it comes with and very light instead of bringing a regular big towel itself that would take up a lot of space in my bag. I definitely would consider this item to anyone.

                    When I go hiking, I usually try to end my hike at a hot spring to relax. I bring this towel because it is light, compact, and very absorbent. It usually takes about 10 mins to dry.
