A bulky towel isn’t an option when you’re on the move, which is why you need the MSR Packtowel Nano Lite. For less than an ounce added to your load, you get a towel that absorbs twice its weight in water and wrings out completely dry, over and over again. Whether you need a dish towel in basecamp or a shower towel in a foreign hostel, the ultralight Nano does the trick.
Bottom Line: The weight of a feather with the absorbency of a sponge.

this item absorbs 2x its weight as opposed to MSR's "ultralite" which absorbs 7x a comparable mass (the pack towel original absorbs 9x its weight while weighing substantially more per square inch); the nano is, however, offered at the lowest price and lowest weight of MSR packtowels
This towel is very small and lightweight and does a great job of absorbing moisture. I use it mostly as a dish towel to keep my cookware clean and dry.
This "towel" weighs practically nothing and drys quickly. It takes a couple of wring-outs if your using it as a bath towel, but I was pleasantly surprised that I was dry after using it (except for my hair, would take a lot more effort with this to get your hair dry). For less than .5 ounce it's a pretty good towel.
I have used this backpacking through Central America. For weight and size it is perfect. It weighs nothing and will fit in the absolute smallest cranny in your pack. If you have long hair it will not get it anywhere near dry, but that is what the sun is for. For drying your body it is great. You will have to wring it out a few times, but even when it feels like it is soaked it will keep picking up water.
Pretty small to serve for anything other than a quick towel-dry after a swim or shower, but then again that is what you're looking for in a nano-lite towel, right? It dries very quickly. The pouch is the best part, perfect for snapping onto your toiletry bag for trips to the campground bathroom.
I used this as my main towel for 2 months while on a bike trip. I would wipe down once, wring it out, then wipe down again and I was good to go. I also had short hair so i would just rub my head with out the towel to flick off all the water. It also dried really quickly even in the humid cloud covered air of California's coast in the spring.
