I use a large one from Kathmandu it's big enough to wrap around and I love sitting outside afterwards wrapped in nothing but a towel. The travel one I had before wasn't big enough to wrap around and so was pretty useless in a way. I also pack a sarong as it's extremely versatile.

With a weight of 1kg (2lbs) it seems a heavy item to buy for travel.

Can't be bothered to edit:
Sandragal101, when I read your link the price is listed as US$46.95 - this seems a far cry from the 6 pounds shown in the OP's link 0 even taking into account currency rates. Add on US$10 shipping and you're looking at almost US$60.

I wonder what it is in AUD$.

I use the large PackTowel.

Both my wife and I use Adventure towel Rugged Outdoor towels. They aren't soft like normal bath towels, but they are super absorbent pack down very small.

I've tried a few different types of "quick dry" travel towels and have been left disappointed.

I have an old'ish, thin 100% cotton towel that I use for traveling and it works for me. A sarong gets thrown into my pack if I'm heading to a tropical climate, good for bath and beach.

I'm packing a large Paktowl from REI for my trip. It's worked well for me. It really looks & feels like one big ol' piece of felt now. And I suppose I could go to some fru fru fabric or craft store & just buy a big ol' piece of felt for cheaper,...but, having that all important loop ring & snap, as previously mentioned, has proven to be a must.

Nothing beats a $1 krama. Towel, bandana, scarf: it does it all!
