Tired of lugging a bulky towel around that never seems to dry quickly? Try investing in a light compact quick drying alternative. I found mine at www.rei.com. REI's Micro-lite Towel comes in a variety of sizes. The compact nature of the towel allows it to be packed and stored easily for those adventures away from home. It will not leave you wet on performance either. The micro-lite works surprisingly well at absorbing water. Then, ring it out and discover nearly all the water is gone allowing it to dry quickly. Careful, you might find yourself wanting to use it at home. However, it will cost you some green to ditch the cotton thing hanging in the bath.
This is part of my gear that helped me survive working support for the race.

If you can't stay above the water line, at least you can dry off afterwards!

Riverwalker,
When I used to backpack, I bought a lot of gear from REI. This is real world gear, for real use. It isn't the cheap discount store stuff.
Thanks man, I'll have to check it out!

He's a big fan of REI. Thanks.

The towels are excellent quality and are almost indestructible. RW Jr. is pretty hard on his gear and he expects it to hold up to pretty rugged use. Thanks.

Unfortunetly, I am a gearhead (love gadgets) and such websites as REI are dangerous to me!! :)
WV: Relypent-as in, I really repent for putting all that stuff on my credit card...

I hear where you are coming from! My main thing is garage and yard sales...I've just got to stop at everyone I come across because I don't know when I'm going to find that bargain out there. Thanks.
