Whether travelling in your home country, abroad, or around the universe, a towel is a wonderful thing to have with you.
While a towel may be a wonderful thing to have with you when you travel, it can also be quite heavy, slow to dry, and quite large, which makes taking them with you less than desirable. I’ve tried a lot of travel towels over the years and finally found this one which is amazingly light, can double as a bathing suit cover-up wrap, and dries extremely quickly, all while still being absorbent. Note: as an amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The PackTowl (yep, just drop the “e”) Ultralite microfiber towel is attractive, and the lightest I’ve found. It’s still absorbent and comes in pretty patterns, so you can use it as a bathing suit wrap too. Packs down to practically nothing and even the beach size weighs only just over 5 ounces.
The beach size will double as a wrap, but the body size is plenty big to dry yourself and your hair with.
