In this review of the PackTowl Personal Ultralight Microfiber Body Towel, the bottom line is simple: this towel is for travelers, campers and gym-goers who want a highly absorbent, space-saving towel that dries fast. The standout reason to buy is its combination of strong absorbency and rapid drying - it soaks up to four times its weight in water and dries about 70% faster than comparable cotton towels, which means fewer damp smells and less weight in a pack. The review focuses on real use in travel, outdoor weekends and everyday workouts.

Key Features

  • Ultralight and compact: The microfiber construction folds very small so it fits easily in a backpack, luggage or gym bag without adding bulk.
  • Quick drying: Fabric dries about 70% faster than comparable cotton towels, reducing drying time between uses on multi-day trips.
  • High absorbency: Capable of absorbing roughly four times its weight in water, making it efficient for drying off after swims or showers.
  • Sustainable microfiber: Soft microfiber is made from 50% recycled content, cutting waste while keeping the towel lightweight and durable.
  • Odor control: Built-in Polygiene silver-ion treatment helps control odors so the towel stays fresher for multiple uses between washes.
  • Practical details: Includes a built-in hanging loop and is machine washable for easy care on the road.

Who It's For

The PackTowl Personal is best for people who need a functional, space-saving towel for travel, camping, water sports and gym sessions. Hikers and weekend campers will appreciate the quick-dry performance and small packed size, while swimmers and gym users will like the absorbency and odor control for repeated use.

It is less suited to those who prefer the heavy, plush feel of a thick cotton bath towel; opinions on softness are mixed, and some users may find the microfiber texture different from a traditional terry towel.

Pros & Cons

  • Sustainable construction with 50% recycled microfiber and Polygiene odor control.

Cons

  • Some users find the microfiber texture less soft than a plush cotton towel.
