Thank you so much for this great. review! I visited the link for the Matador Nanodry and it lists the Dimensions as 52 x 24 inches and the weight as 5.6 ounces, considerably more than 2.4. I couldn't find the 2.4oz one, do you have any idea why? The PackTowl dimensions and weight were also different
@@abbyromm Hey Abby! The measurements I gave were my own, and may differ slightly from the brand. The Matador has a massive difference cos I didn't like the storage pouch, so I just left that at home. The weight is only of the towel itself. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough!
@@abbyromm Oh yeah and I think the UltraLite weight I gave was 3.2oz, while the page on Amazon said 3.4oz. It may differ slightly though cos whatever they send out from the factory may differ very slightly.
@Alberto Barrera It's so kind of you to say that Alberto, thank you and I appreciate it! Hopefully this video keeps racking up views as time goes on :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Well how about an understatement? You are the best!!! I need a woman like you. Are you married? Do you want an old man? A broke old man? Hahahaha 😅 really, this was exceptional. ❤️… and it looks as though Amazon has a dead ringer for the Matador it but by the name of “Good”. Exactly the same.
@@CampingGuidance The review was kinda helpful and it went really deep into the specs, the hard specs but here may I ask some main questions? What is the difference between a backpacking towel and a camping towel. Some towels are similar in sizes and I think people, at the very least, I am more concerned about the size difference because I might not be going so hard on these towels if I just want a traveling or a backpacking towel. And in such case how does it feels really in personal user experience seems more ideal for me than hard specs. And curious to ask, there are some towels that are smaller in size, which are ideal for wiping sweat or face and hand towels because it looks kinda weird to put a beach towel on the face. And which in that case would be a better option, regarding some towels like pack towl face or hand size vs matador nano dry small. It also depends more on the convenience on using these towels when it comes to smaller ones. A good example that might be said in your videos is a smaller version of the matador towel which is the trek one (hope I don't mistake the name) which might not serve as the same use than the other towels in comparison. Back to myself, finding two towels for different usages, one for a face or sweat towel which is smaller in size and another full towel like the pack towl personal, which is happy to see the fully sized towel reviews but sad not any towels are in a smaller size for everyday use on your face or back. I'm guessing to get a pack towl personal for the shower towel as it seems more comfortable but struggling between matador and pack towl face for a smaller one 🤣.
Hi there Wilson, thanks for your question. And of course, you can ask any questions you want. Here are my replies: 1. I grouped these backpacking towels separately from the other camping towels that I tested, mainly because of weight and packed size differences. These backpacking towels weigh anywhere between 2.4oz/68g to 4.1oz/115g, whereas the camping towels in my other video went up to 17.2oz/488g (that's my Nomadix). I did it this way because I felt it would cater to different people. Of course, I know friends who do go backpacking with not the PackTowl UltraLite but the PackTowl Personal instead (6.5oz/185g), so that's ultimately up to you. 2. As for the size of the towels, I did some research prior and found that the body size of about 25 by 50 inches is usually the most popular size, so I tried to get as many of these towels in that size for a more accurate comparison between all the towels. Of course, some people like it smaller to cut weight, and some like it larger so that it covers their full body. For me, I really like this body size for showering. And I use bigger beach towels for swimming and going to the beach, and smaller towels (like the Trek towel) for hiking. If you're interested in the face towel review, I did a separate review on the Matador Trek Towel, but personally I prefer the Shower towel. Just using and testing all of these "body" sized towels took me many, many months, so testing "face" towels as well, filming, editing, etc. will take too much time, so I decided to skip out on that. Apologies for that, but thanks for letting me know :) 3. As for the personal user experience, I went through softness, thickness, stickiness, etc. under the Comfort section, so those aren't hard specs, just personal opinion. The PackTowl Personal for the shower towel is definitely a great pick! I'm still using mine currently, and it's still going strong :) If you prefer something softer and more absorbent, I'd go with the PackTowl for the face one as well. Hope this helps!
@@CampingGuidance Thanks for all of that nice reply! I actually like the pack towl but sometimes I want to find a easy and convenient towel for just mainly wiping ot sweat on the streets. I'm living in South Asia and I'm a sweaty person, it gets terribly hot and humid in the summer so I think I need something on the street, not that camping and easy to take out and put back in. I think the matador case would be a very good choice to just clip it at some random spot under my backpack or just near my trousers. Moreover, the case seems easy to get in and out just by seeing the video and thats what I need. I'm actually not quite sure the storage case of the pack towl face which maybe I'm gonna need to check out myself to see if its easy to use with cause I don't want a 25cm (its actually very big if its hanging on the downside of the backpack) towel dangling around on the street and its gonna get dirty.
You're most welcome Wilson! I'm glad you found the reply helpful :) Ah I see! I think in that case, the Matador would be better for you. My PackTowl UltraLite didn't come with a storage case, which is what you need. Also, the loop of the Matador is better for clipping on your backpacking, because my PackTowls tend to dangle on the ground and get dirty. But for your needs, I think a smaller face towel would be better, not a shower towel :)
The amount of work you did on this video is just crazy. The brands should pay you for it! I am really glad you also tested the dirt repellancy, I've never seen anyone do that, but I have has loads of problems with some of the travel towels I've bought, to the point where they become useless after having them on the ground even just a few times. So, thanks for covering that!
Hey Runar! Thank you so much for your kind words, and it really means a lot that you think so 😊 I'm glad that you liked all the effort that went into this, it really was a lot hahaha 😂 Hope some of these towels are an improvement over the ones that you've had! So sorry to hear that they were useless after just a few times though :( That must really suck. Btw just out of curiosity, which were the towels you had, if you don't mind sharing? 😊
The quality of your videos is incredible. You are doing such a great job and its wild that you only have 250 subscribers as your videos are the best I have seen. I know once the community finds your page more your page will explode :) Thank you for all of the thorough work!
@Eric Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words Eric, really appreciate it! I think it's partly because I've been experimenting with different products and haven't been super consistent with the type of products that I review haha. But I'll just keep plugging along and see what happens along the way. I'm glad that you found this video helpful though! :)
Wow! This is amazing! I love the fact that you included a 'control' specimen by comparing their performance to a standard cotton towel (it would have been useful to state the measurements of that towel, but I understand why you wouldn't). But wow, fantastic review! I will definitely check out more of your vids.
@able724 Thank you so much for your awesome comment! Glad that you liked the control specimen as well! 😊 The size of that towel is slightly bigger than the backpacking towels that I tested (though I don't have the exact measurements, so sorry about that!) Thanks for helping the channel out by checking out my vids 😊
Took the Matador Trek with me to South America for several months. While I appreciated its lightness, I always left feeling damper than I would have liked. Definitely gonna pick up a PT ultralight (with your affiliate link of course) for my next trip! You did an amazing job with this video!!
Thank you so much Aaron! I really appreciate you sharing and commenting, and even supporting the channel through the links! You're the best and that means a lot to me! 🥰 And yeah I was really impressed with the Matador until I got to try out the PT. I've never looked back since 😆 They're both really great, but I just really like the PT more. I hope you like it as much as I do! Let me know how you like it, if you have the time? 😃
THANK YOU for going into such depth!!! Absolutely amazing reviews, and it proves that they all have their own "market/customer". One for price conscious, one for comfort, and another for the ultralight obsessed lol. You rock girl! And p.s. I am absolutely getting the Paktowel now!
Thank you so much Dominique!! It's so kind of you to say that, and I really appreciate it! I'm really really happy that you liked the depth of the review, and I hope you enjoy the PackTowl as much as I do! It's my favorite too :)
I subbed as soon as the video finished. Your attention to detail and pace is perfect. I wish more EDC “reviewers” did this. You also solved my 2 week dilemma of PackTowel vs Matador that was hilariously irritating me.
Thank you so much Brian! I really appreciate your sub and your awesome comment, it means a lot! I'm glad you liked the details and pacing and I'm really happy that I could help you with your dilemma :) Please feel free to reach out if you ever have any further questions!
This is incredible research on something that is so overlooked. I bought Airlight beforehand and was disappointed by its absorbency. Having watched the video now...I wish I have gotten Matador! Thanks, and hope all new campers watch this.
Aww thank you so much for all the kind words 🥰 I'm really glad that you liked the research on this! The Matador is definitely more absorbent, but I think the PackTowl is very underrated, and sooo absorbent haha
This is by FAR the most detailed review I have EVER seen on any platform. Subscribed just from watching this one video! Thank you so much for your the detail that you put into this review, it is unmatched!

Your towel review is the MOST comprehensive one out there for sure! Its informative and very technical.. Bravo to you 👍. Believe it or not, the reason why i viewed it is bcuz i'm looking to add one of these towels (or two), to my EDC kit. Love your channel, keep the reviews coming.🙂
Thank you so much again JW! Your comments really help the channel out, and I really appreciate them 😊 Oooh that's interesting! I can see how one of these lightweight towels can go with an EDC kit! And yep I'll do my best to keep these reviews coming! 😊 Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰 It really means a lot to me that you like the testing and the video! I'll do my best to carry out more tests like this in 2024!
This video CLEARLY excels by far, from majority of similar videos regardless of platform. The clarity and pace of your delivery, presentation is outrageously excellent. wowed

I don't understand how you don't have more views and more subscribers, with these awesome reviews on all this stuff. You are so detailed and give great explanations of everything. Great job on all your videos.
Hey Loren! Oh wow thank you sooo much for the high praise, that makes me really happy! 🥰 I really appreciate it! Hmm I guess cos I don't do reviews of the most popular products. Maybe as I do more of those, the channel could grow faster!
Enjoy your reviews so much bcuz they are thorough as well as technical. I just want to encourage you to do a review on hiking/camping water purifyers😃. If you ever do one, please include the Grayl. Thanx and keep up the great work!
Hi JW! Thank you so much for your kind words and also the suggestion! 🥰 I'm really glad you like my reviews! Oooh purifiers sounds exciting! But I'm a total noob when it comes to that cos I've never used any before. 😅 But definitely something I wanna try out next time for sure. Thank you! 🥰
I am from Hong Kong and going to have my first backpacking trip to Europe. This video is exactly what I need! Thank you very much! PackTowl looks really nice!
Thank you so much Kiu Wan! I’m really glad that the video was useful for you! 😊 yes I LOVE the design of the PackTowl it’s so awesome! Did you end up going with that? Safe travels to Europe! I hope it goes really well for you ☺️
@Journey of Light Thank you so much! I’m really happy that you enjoyed it, and it was my pleasure really :) btw I replied your comment on my 10 Best Camping Mattresses for Couples but sadly I could not find your comment although I got the notification, which is really weird. Please let me know if you need any further info and I’ll do my best to help! :)
Amazing review. Straight to the point, complete and detailed with outstanding video and audio quality. Glad you compared a regular towel with the ultralight ones. Helped me make my choice!
Thank you so much Scott, really appreciate your awesome comment! I'm glad you liked the regular towel comparison as well, for a while I wasn't sure if I should have done that hahah. Super happy that I could help you with your decision too! 😊

@DjNix I really love the PackTowl UltraLite too! Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that it's out of stock. Which retailer are you thinking of buying from? It still seems to be available on Amazon for me. You can try REI as well if you'd like :)
Thank you so much Lisa! It really means a lot that my video was able to help you out 😊 And yeah the UltraLite is definitely great! Let me know how it goes for you if you have the time! 😊
Thank you so much Al! I'm glad that the criteria and testing could be of some help to you. And I'm happy you found the narration pleasing to listen to! Because it was cringy for me to listen to my own voice haha XD
This is an awesome breakdown. Now I know why the towel I have had in the past was´nt working out well. Now I am on the lookout comes Black Friday sales. Thank you!!!!
Yay Cathy I'm glad you figured out why the towel in the past didn't work! Glad that the video could help 😊 Black Friday is definitely a great time to snag some deals! I'm on the lookout myself hahahaha 😊
I’m amazed by the level of detail you got into and it definitely satisfied my pretentious, OCD-like analysis that I undertake before buying anything. Saw that you’ve been recently posting about tents. It’d be wonderful if you’d want to get into reviewing other stuff as well and making such tops, like best umbrellas and rain jackets/pochos for hiking and commuting/daily use (just a trivial example of things that I’m looking into right now).
@simimy97 Aww thank you!! I'm really glad that you enjoyed all the analysis! I've got that OCD-like fixation too so maybe one day we can compare notes hahaha 😊 Feel free to let me know any points I might have missed so I can always add them to future videos too 😊 And thank you for the list of suggestions too! That's definitely super useful. I'm gonna finish up reviewing all the tents that I have on hand (and push out all the related videos) before I move onto camping lights, and I'll hopefully eventually get to cover loads more other stuff like ponchos too! 😊
You're most welcome Lance! It was my pleasure 😊 Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I really appreciate it 😊 Glad you found the details helpful!
Very elaborated details! Thank you for taking the time to experiment for what is best for us without us needing to go through the same hassle to know the best selection towels :)
@@CampingGuidance I really did, and I love how you reviewed something so well despite it being a rarely used product. That said, I really think you would grow your channel a lot more if you perhaps focused more on the sort of camping items people taking long hikes buy. Family camping isn't as big of a deal as hunters or fishermen spending weeks or days trekking through forest.
@@Black-March Thanks for taking the time to reply Gabriel! 😊 And thank you so much for the feedback as well! To be honest I don't have as much experience with other types of camping/hiking as I do with family camping, which is why I started off by reviewing stuff I had on hand first haha. But it definitely makes a lot more sense! I'll definitely try to get more hiking experience and eventually do reviews on that 😊

Hey Loren! Oh wow thank you sooo much for the high praise, that makes me really happy! 🥰 I really appreciate it! Hmm I guess cos I don't do reviews of the most popular products. Maybe as I do more of those, the channel could grow faster!

Hi JW! Thank you so much for your kind words and also the suggestion! 🥰 I'm really glad you like my reviews! Oooh purifiers sounds exciting! But I'm a total noob when it comes to that cos I've never used any before. 😅 But definitely something I wanna try out next time for sure. Thank you! 🥰

I love this video! I usually I have to watch 30 videos to get less information than what was including in this one. Thanks
@Zach White Thank you for your kind words, Zach! I'm glad that it could give you the info that you needed and feel free to let me know if you ever have any questions that I didn't answer in the video :)
thanks you so much i was undecided, and i will go for tacktowl ultralite
out of stock :(
@DjNix I really love the PackTowl UltraLite too! Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that it's out of stock. Which retailer are you thinking of buying from? It still seems to be available on Amazon for me. You can try REI as well if you'd like :)
Wow! This is an excellent video. It helped tremendously. Pack Towel Ultralite for me!
Thank you so much Lisa! It really means a lot that my video was able to help you out 😊 And yeah the UltraLite is definitely great! Let me know how it goes for you if you have the time! 😊
Excellent video. Your criteria are well thought out and your testing is comprehensive. And the narration is pleasing to listen to.
Thank you so much Al! I'm glad that the criteria and testing could be of some help to you. And I'm happy you found the narration pleasing to listen to! Because it was cringy for me to listen to my own voice haha XD
This review is what I needed. Thank you very much for the work done!
@Membo Lembo You're welcome and it was my pleasure! I'm glad that you found it useful and I hope you got all the info that you needed :)
This is an awesome breakdown. Now I know why the towel I have had in the past was´nt working out well. Now I am on the lookout comes Black Friday sales.
Thank you!!!!
Yay Cathy I'm glad you figured out why the towel in the past didn't work! Glad that the video could help 😊 Black Friday is definitely a great time to snag some deals! I'm on the lookout myself hahahaha 😊
Wow deserves way more views. Just the info I needed
Thank you so much CV! Glad that I could provide you with the info you needed 😊
This is the best video I have watched in this topic. Subbed!
Thank you so much for the sub and comment Mesut! That really helps the channel out, I appreciate it! 🥰
this is what is worth being called a review! amazing work, thanks
Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you liked this review! 😁
I’m amazed by the level of detail you got into and it definitely satisfied my pretentious, OCD-like analysis that I undertake before buying anything.
Saw that you’ve been recently posting about tents. It’d be wonderful if you’d want to get into reviewing other stuff as well and making such tops, like best umbrellas and rain jackets/pochos for hiking and commuting/daily use (just a trivial example of things that I’m looking into right now).
@simimy97 Aww thank you!! I'm really glad that you enjoyed all the analysis! I've got that OCD-like fixation too so maybe one day we can compare notes hahaha 😊 Feel free to let me know any points I might have missed so I can always add them to future videos too 😊 And thank you for the list of suggestions too! That's definitely super useful. I'm gonna finish up reviewing all the tents that I have on hand (and push out all the related videos) before I move onto camping lights, and I'll hopefully eventually get to cover loads more other stuff like ponchos too! 😊
Thank you so much for you video! It is amazing!
Thank you so much Danny! I'm really happy that you liked the video! :)
I think I will not find a better video about towels like this. Great video!
Thank you Charli! I hope you found all the info you needed :)
Omg finally a review that actually uses the product! Excellent video, thank you!
Thank you so much Katalin! I'm glad you liked the review and the real world usage 😊
Wow, what a detailed and helpful review!! Thanks so much!
You're most welcome Lance! It was my pleasure 😊 Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I really appreciate it 😊 Glad you found the details helpful!

Very elaborated details! Thank you for taking the time to experiment for what is best for us without us needing to go through the same hassle to know the best selection towels :)
Thank you so much Darren! It was my pleasure, and I'm really happy to know that this video could help you with your selection of towels :)
Wow, you just saved a lot of people a lot of time! So thorough!
Thank you so much Katy! I'm glad that I could help save you some time! 😊
Thanks, this is an incredibly well done review.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Gabriel! I'm really glad that you liked the review 😊
@@CampingGuidance I really did, and I love how you reviewed something so well despite it being a rarely used product. That said, I really think you would grow your channel a lot more if you perhaps focused more on the sort of camping items people taking long hikes buy. Family camping isn't as big of a deal as hunters or fishermen spending weeks or days trekking through forest.
@@Black-March Thanks for taking the time to reply Gabriel! 😊 And thank you so much for the feedback as well! To be honest I don't have as much experience with other types of camping/hiking as I do with family camping, which is why I started off by reviewing stuff I had on hand first haha. But it definitely makes a lot more sense! I'll definitely try to get more hiking experience and eventually do reviews on that 😊
