Mircofibre towels, which one?
 
Im in the market for a large microfibre towel for camping trips, there is so many around i wouldnt know which ones are good, light and small when folded / packed.
Anyone use these and if so, which ones are good / best to avoid?

Cheers

Ps, i would prefer to go to a store to see how big they are in their packs if you can name any national stores that stock them.

Also worth keeping an eye on Aldi, normally when they have running and cycling stuff on??

I bought one at the pound shop a few weeks back but it was a turban style thing for long hair - possibly not much use to you...!

Not sure mine is the large or giant size, but folds down to around the size of a book.

Not particularly cheap, had mine about 5 years tho & still going strong.

Other ones i had looked at were around the £20 mark so not much difference in price, rather pay more anyway if you recommend it for that long of use, know what they say, buy cheap, buy twice :)
Cheers Dave.

Nope, I'm saying that you dry your hair by riding round your garden with the wind giving you a blow dry!

We got some of them cheapys 2-3 quid from home bargains or summat, took on our foreign jaunt last year, no problems, not exactly a luxury bath towel, but hey ho, needs must. But you is loaded so just get the expensive ones ;) Edit, if you are taking stuff that big you had better get a trailor as well.
