Really, I should write this post in verse. An ode. That's how much I love my packtowel.
Beautiful
Glorious
Made like a car shammy, these are small, synthetic towels made to fold small and dry quickly. Having watched one to many traveler lug around a wet beach towel or try to dry off with an old t-shirt in a hostel, there really no question in my mind about the necessity of this object. MSR makes them. Cascade designs makes them. The brand is not important. What is is that I stop typing, you stop reading, and we both open a new window and buy one right now.
Go ahead. What are you waiting for?

I used to use a pack towel, until I absent-mindedly left it behind in a fleabag motel in Bombay and was forced to buy a sarong. It weighs about the same, takes up about the same amount of space, but the sarong doubles as a pillow, a beach towel, a skirt, and (the kicker, for me) a cool-down mechanism for late nights without a/c. You can shower, dry off with the sarong, and go to bed with the wet sarong draped over you like a light blanket.
