Aquis Microfiber Travel Towels
We've all suffered from carrying heavy, water-soaked towels while camping or traveling. Or from exfoliating our skin while we try to dry off using a rough pack towel. Enter Aquis towels - luxuriously soft, highly absorbent, and quick drying, woven from microfibers. I use the larger Aquis towels for camping/traveling. I keep a smaller towel on my golf bag to clean my clubs, and I even have a version of Aquis which fully dries my 35 lb. dog far better than a terry towel can.

A compact quick-drying microfiber towel folds up neatly into a tiny square and is the perfect tool to stuff into your backpack anywhere you won't be provided with clean towels -- say traveling in low-budget parts of the world, or an overnight train. This towel comes in a small tidy pouch to keep it clean. It weighs only 3.5 ounces (when dry). I got mine from Rick Steve's travel store.

I LOVE my Aquis towel! I bought one after some research when I was preparing for a trip across Europe. I used to use similar ones when I was a swimmer in college - we kept them near the pool and they dried us (and dried off!) super-fast. I picked out the big body towel for my trip, and it was perfect! It took up nearly no room in my very limited bag space, dried me off quickly, soaked nearly all the water out of my hair (so no cold, wet head while hiking across colder climates!), and dried really fast.
I still use the towel near-daily, even though it's nearly two years since my trip. It lives on my towel rack and is still the preferred method for getting all of the water out of my near-waist length hair. I ended up purchasing a second one for my gym bag - I save on towel fees and precious gym bag space!
I cannot recommend these highly enough!
