Mcnett Microfiber Towels : Light and Dry

Lightweight, fast-drying towels are a real necessity for backpackers, scuba divers, and budget travelers (especially those staying in places where towels might be unavailable, undersized, tattered, or, not so fresh.)

Mcnett's MicroNet towel offers all the conveniences of regular towels and more.To start with, the sizes range from a 10 x 20 inches face towel to a generous 30 x 50 inches bath towel. That's a big towel by anyone's standards. They even have an oversized 35 x 62 inches for those seeking a lot of coverage, and then some. Despite the range of sizes, these towels don't add a lot of weight. The face towel weighs just an ounce, and the extra large towel is still just a mere six ounces.

Each towel has a soft and silky finish; they're very comfortable against my skin. Made out of pliable, absorbent ultrafine-denier microfiber, these towels release 90 percent of their water content when wrung out. I can't confirm that precise number, but my towel was pretty dry when I finished wringing, and dried quickly on the rack after that.

Mcnett's towels can be machine-washed and machine-dried on low heat. Towels come in nylon carrying bags, each with two mesh pockets and a waterproof divider between them. I like this feature because my towel stays folded and doesn't snag on anything else in my pack, duffle, or dive bag. I can put two folded towels in the bag or one towel and one "something else."

Another feature that makes this towel stand out: a woven nylon loop on one corner that allows me to hang up my towel whether I'm at a campsite, on a dive boat, or in a hotel room.

Available colors: seafoam green, sky blue, navy blue, burgundy,teal green and ocean blue.
