MSR Packtowl UltraLite

Looking for an ULTRALIGHT packtowel? This is it.
I have seen many packtowels that claim to be the lightest, but to put it bluntly this thing is ridiculous. There are other chamois style towels out there but this one combines absorbency and very low weight with an incredibly fast drying time. Seriously, I have been using it to dry off when I get out of the shower (to soften it up a bit), I will use it to dry off my entire body including getting my hair (which is shoulder length) nearly dry. I hang it up and by the time I'm dressed it is dry enough to fold up and put away without worry about mildew. The only thing to consider is the choice between the MSR ultralight and the MSR personal. The personal is softer, being a microfiber vs. the ultralight which is more of a chamois style synthetic. But again the ultralight is lighter, I'm not readily sure about the drying time of the personal (my girlfriend has one, but she hasn't used it yet). But again if you are looking for a packtowel, put the MSR ultralight and personal models on your list to look into!


Wow!
This thing is incredible, you can use it and then it’s like you haven’t even gotten it wet. Don’t get the small though, unless you just want a hand towel, because it is truly tiny. I would recommend one of the bigger ones, because the weight and space it occupies is virtually nonexistent.


Great Towel
Extremely lightweight towel- impressed with its pack size! It dries pretty quickly and is very absorbent. We used the towels for the first time on a backpacking trip in Washington. I was able to use it to dry my face and hair and it still was able to dry the inside/outside of our tent before we repacked it. I was pleased with the fast delivery and the service provided. Thanks.


Best I packtowel I could find
By far, this is the best packtowel out there. A large ultralight can fit in your pocket when it’s folded up, and it has the ability to dry you like a regular beach towel. The only reason I give it a four - and probably unfairly - is I'm the kind of person who likes to be *absolutely* dry before getting dressed, and I'm still somewhat damp after using this towel. However, the same is so if I use another towel (including big beach towels), so considering the size of this packtowel, I'd say I've come out on top and am kind of being tedious. Next time I'll probably get the XL size, though. In short, still the best packtowel out there, period.


Packtowl UL
I have used this towel at home and on the trail. This is the lightest towel I can find. It works superbly. Additionally, buy the large size, custom cut it to your liking, leaving the drying loop on your favorite part. Use the rest as a hanky, washcloth, or hot pad. Works like a multipurpose cloth. I cut it into bandana size to dry my face. Works great. Get the Apricot color and use it as an emergency signal as well.
