The versatile PackTowl from Cascade Designs is an impressive line of microfiber towels for just about any occasion. Among the many options developed by Cascade Designs, the PackTowl Personal is probably the most versatile for those looking to buy a microfiber towel that can work well while backpacking, at the gym or after taking a dip in a lake or river.

 

The towel comes in small, medium, large, XL and XXL, so there is a range of options depending on your needs. For those looking to take something lightweight on a backpacking trip, the small size is ideal: It measures just 10 by 14 inches, but performs remarkably well.

 

The miniscule towel can dry your entire body after a dip in an alpine lake or river. Its polyester/nylon fabric feels much less bizarre on the skin compared to other similar microfiber towels, and an antimicrobial treatment means the fabric won’t smell like mildew after a few humid nights in the backcountry.

 

Impressively, this little towel can soak up four times its weight in water, more than enough to dry your body after a backcountry shower. Simply wring it out and it feels remarkably dry where other products stay slightly damp and for longer. The small size is also great for dipping in a cold creek and washing your face after a tough hike. Wring it out, fold it back into its mesh bag and off you go.
