No More Bulky Towels

Packing towels for a camping trip can take up a lot of room. Not to mention, they dry slowly, often leaving a camper having to lug around a damp, bulky towel. 

MSR has the answer to this problem. The MSR Packtowl is lightweight, antimicrobial, and dries very quickly. It even has a strap to ease in hanging and drying. The material is ultra-soft, and softens up with each use.

The price is okay, not fantastic, but it could be worse. It's worth every penny, though, as it's ease of use is sure to please. The Packtowl folds up to almost nothing, even for the largest bath sheet size. Drying time is only minutes, as opposed to bulky terry cloth towels taking an hour or more to dry. 

Plus the absorbency! Holy cow, these could soak up any mess or spill you could imagine at a campsite. The versatility these have for a camper is astounding. There is room in any backpack for a set of Packtowls, and the car camper is also going to appreciate having more room for storage of camping equipment. 

Scout around for the best price, pick up a set or two for your camping equipment stash, and be ready to be impressed. This is another one of those items you will like so much it will be hard to pack away. I have to admit, I have one hanging in my bathroom at the moment, and another one handy for spills in the kitchen. I have yet to have a stain or tear on mine, and I've given them quite a workout in the past couple of years.
