Like that one to start with.

They are ...

... excellent space-savers and work well; Top Tip - buy the largest you can find ! Still small in comparison to a 'normal' towel when packing, but much more absorbent

Have got a Hi Gear version from Go Outdoors, works well and cheaper than the Lifeventure ones.

I've got one and yes, they are good. They feel more like a velvety chamois than a towel, but they do work.

Top stuff!

+1 for getting the biggest you can!

have used one camping for years

 

[Mutley]

Save some real space and just take a pack of wet wipes

 

[Blue]

Dry better than a normal towel

Make sure you get the type that is very similar texture to microfibre towels. The sort that feels like an old sponge are rubbish.

Our local TK Max always have these things in and cheaper than Go Outdoors, Tesco's are doing them also.

There all rubbish ...............

Get yourself to Ikea ..................

They sell large grey bath towels for 99p that are thin , light and dry quickly ......

Take a pair of scissors and cut the towel to the size you want and you'll have enough left for a hand towel and face cloth ..

PS ... Remember to put a hem back on though ...

I use an xl Karrimor travel towel. It is just large enough that even my (6'2" 17 stone) modesty is maintained when using it as a beach towel wrapped round my waist. At the same time, it packs down really small. Feels like you're rubbing a car with a chamois when you're using it, but it works. For any trip long enough that I need to take a towel I use it. For short 1 or 2 night trips wild camping, I just smell.
