Pocket Towel vs Dry Lite Towel vs Tek Towel

Which is better among all the three. Undecided which one to get. To me pocket towel looks small, Dry Lite seems dry faster (turn off is without a bag for it), Tek towel looks like it absorb more water. I plan to get a Large size soon. I need advises to help me to decide. I need something light, fast drying, good absorption.

I have the MSR Packtowl UltraLite, this Sea To Sum Dry Lite and the Sea to Sum Tek towels. - Tek Towel feels almost like the real cotton towels. It is thinner & lighter than the normal cotton ones but is the heaviest of the three you are asking about. - MSR Ultra is the lightest. I am not a fan as it does not even feel like fabric. - Dry Lite is the best & while the previous reviewer says it is sticky, if you want light weight and a soft feel, this is the one to get. I bought the Tek first for car camping, then the MSR for backpacking but didn't like it so I bought this Dry Lite and love it.

Hi Maitely.. I didn't not get any answers but I finally got the Drylite.. It work well, but you have to get use to it as the 'feeling' is sticky to the skin of its high absorbent. I travel to climb around.. so i think the Drylite is more compact compare to Tek towel work better for me..

Alvin, did you ever get an answer to your question of "tek towel vs drylite towel"? I'm the same situation now and trying to figure out which one will be most compact for extremely light backpacking for 2 weeks! Any answers you were able to get would be so helpful to me. I don't see any posted here yet.
