MSR Packtowl Personal Towels

MSR made the Packtowl Personal Towels with a soft, quick-drying fabric and an antimicrobial treatment, so you won't have to carry a soggy, musty rag on your camping trip. The bath, body, hand, and face-size towels fold up and fit your pocket. The Packtowl's serged edges won't fray, and a snap loop makes this towel easy to hang-dry. Choose the bath size for long trips, and the smaller sizes for short trips to the pool.

Bottom Line: MSR's Packtowl Personal Towels—because packing a musty, perpetually damp towel is never fun.

Soft and Just Big Enough

By: Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete
February 10, 2009

this towel was just big enough to do the trick. perfect for trips where you want to save some room in the pack. the clipable loop was also super easy to clip onto anything. better than a loop which requires a biner.

it also dried really really fast!

Review Title

I bought this towel the other day and used it after a regular shower at the house. Im a big guy so I have plenty to dry and i was shocked at how well this thing soaks up water and even better how quick it dries. I have the medium size and it works great

It is soft but feels a bit synthetic chamois-like when brand new. It does get softer the more you wash it.

Great Towel

By:
June 20, 2009

This was a great towel to dry off with at our camping site and then leave on the chairs overnight to dry out. The morning we were leaving camp, it had rained all night making for a wet mess with breaking the tent down. So we used the towels to dry off the tent before packing it away. It was a great tool to have. We also used to to dry off some other items such as the cooler. I don't know how handy it would be for a wash cloth, I think it'd feel funny and wash cloths are so small it might be just as easy to use a regular wash cloth.
Finally, we used these towels at a water park and they were awesome!! It was so wonderful not having to carry around heavy wet towels all day, these were so light and absorbent and folded up into a tiny little pouch. I will always use these towels for the beach and water park as well as camping.

Buy these towels!

Family of five and we camp frequently (car and backcountry)...towels were the bane of our camping experience...everthing smelled sour after a few days because we never had time to dry them thoroughly. These towels are AWESOME! Very absorbent, even the large sizes fold up VERY small and they dry quickly with no odor. One of our best camping buys ever! Highly recommended!!

Great towel

By:

Good stuff. Dries like it says it does. Soft like it says it is. And light to boot. I recommend getting 2: a nice big one and a smaller one to save space and grams when it counts.

Soft, super-absorbent, dries quick, and is lightweight! Couldn't ask for anything more. The snap loop is pretty handy, too.

Necessary addition to your gear

By:
October 23, 2008

I used this towel backpacking through Europe and it is a necessity on camping trips. It works surprisingly well and dries extremely fast. Get a big one to dry off with and another to wash with. They are also great for washing dishes out on the trail. They dry so fast, you won't have to worry about funky smells in your pack. Great buy.

Never thought I'd be so happy about a towel

By: Backcountry.com Employee
April 2, 2008

This towel is awesome for traveling, I used it on a river trip, and it was nice not only for getting dry, but also for cleaning the sand off my feet before changing into shoes for the cooler nights. Has a great chamois feel to it, and is just a handy little item, well worth the price.

soft

By:

Unlike other lighweight towels, this is actually soft. Has a nice to hook it on your pack to dry or your tent as well. The loop has a button on it so you can loop it around things rather than need a biner or something of that ilk. The 'body' towel is a little smaller than I'd like though
