If you’re an ultralight thru-hiker, the idea of bringing a towel is pretty low on the list of things to carry, but if you have a few more days in the woods and are near a lake, river or ocean, a quick-drying travel towel holds a certain appeal.
It works as a blanket, wash cloth, napkin, poncho and sandy-feet cleaner. Here are eight quick drying travel towels to add to your summer camping kit.
