Comments about Cascade Designs MSR Packtowl Original Towel, Large:
I like the fast drying towels and I take it to the gym when I'm not traveling. This towel is a large and barely covers my top half. I've purchased other "larges" and they were in fact, large. I also think that it shrunk some, even though I only washed it once and did NOT dry it.
It does what it's supposed to, but I was hoping for a towel I could use at the gym or while camping that could at least cover my torso.

Comments about Cascade Designs MSR Packtowl Original Towel, Large:
this is a good product, works very well. but the only gripe is that it shrinks in size after a single wash and dry cycle, i have the ultralite version of this same msr packtowl, and that doesnt seem to have this problem, cant say about the personal version.

I needed a compact towel to carry to the gym and one that dries fast. This towel works great. Use it to take a shower after the gym.

Comments about Cascade Designs MSR Packtowl Original Towel, Large:
Absorbent, but for drying off skin, it could work a little better...
For weight and portability, it was fantastic!
The snap loop for hanging is a great idea!
It is a little rough at first, but does get softer with each washing.
