i had no idea a towel review could be so indepth, this is an extremely well made review.
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me that you liked this review 🥰
Super useful review! This and your comparison video helped me a lot...thankyou! 🙂
@Arne Saknussemm It was my pleasure Arne! Thank you for your support, I'm glad you enjoyed both videos and that they were helpful! :)
Great information!
Thank you so much Matthew! I'm really glad you liked all the info 🥰
Thank you very helpful
@Habitual Line Stepper Thank you so much! Glad you found this review helpful 😊
Thank you for the in-depth review! Wondering at the 11:40 mark, what brand of towels were you comparing it with?
@Kosan Thank you Kosan, I'm happy that you enjoyed it! I was comparing the PackTowl Luxe with the PackTowl Personal (the charcoal colored towel in the middle) and the Matador NanoDry (the red/rust colored towel on the right). Hope this helps!
Great quality review, what kind of pants are you wearing in the absorbency test?
@Joel Hudson Thank you Joel! I'm glad it was helpful. These are convertible pants that I got from Decathlon, the Quechua brand. I don't have the pants on hand with me at the moment so I'm not sure of the exact model, but I got them a while ago so I'm not sure if it's still available in stores.
ANGEL!!!!
Aww you're so sweet! 🥰
Your videos are great! Could you do the review and rating of the Sand Cloud towels? I am very curious how they would rank in comparison to PT Luxe and others.
@Malwina Fidyk Thank you Malwina! I'm glad that you found this video useful. Thanks also for the great suggestion on the Sand Cloud towels! Unfortunately I'm a little short on time now as I'm focusing on other products at the moment, but when I update my towel round-ups in the future, I'll definitely keep this suggestion in mind :)
@@CampingGuidance Thanks for the reply :). Have you ever used the Sand Cloud? Your videos are amazing because they are extremely packed with useful information. I think your channel will grow quickly with this insane amount of work that you put in every video.
@Malwina Fidyk Hey Malwina, I've never used the Sand Cloud towels but they remind me a lot of the Nomadix towel that I have. Have you tried using Nomadix towels? :) Thank you so much for the encouragement and the kind words, I really appreciate it. Insane amount of work is definitely right, but I'm just powering through, and comments like yours really make it worth it :)
@@CampingGuidance Well, after your review I am thinking of getting the PT Luxe, cause I am leaning towards comfort :). Looking forward to your next videos :).
@Malwina Fidyk I'm glad my review could help! The PackTowl Luxe is definitely a great comfort pick for sure. And it's quite a bit cheaper than the Sand Cloud towels too. Appreciate your support! :)
amazing review, do you think the smaller size of the luxe will be enough to dry off whole body, this one looks pretty big
Hi Qiuhong, thanks for the question! I'm glad you like the review btw 😊 And yup this one is pretty big, and it dries me off well. I don't have the smaller size of the luxe though, but I do think that one size smaller might still work because our skin doesn't have that much water after a shower. Plus, you can always wring it out and use it to wipe again 😊
Hi, whats the best camping towel for glamping and wanting a towel that is just the right size to get the job done, and also drys the fastest not to get water or moisture in my car too much? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for the question! 🥰 Hmm for glamping and traveling, I like the PackTowl Luxe (this one that you're watching the review of). It doesn't exactly dry the fastest though. If you want something that dries quick, I found that the thinner the towel, the better. A thinner towel would be the PackTowl Personal, and if you don't mind an even thinner towel (paper thin), you could go with the PackTowl UltraLite. I hope this helps!
AMAZING detailed video. Do you know if the pouch is waterproof? I didn't catch that if it was answered in the video and I watched twice, ha!
Thank you so much Clarissa! I'm glad you liked the video 😊 And oh dear I didn't answer that in the video haha. I didn't do any testing on the pouch itself but if I don't remember wrongly, I think it's a little water repellent but not waterproof.
@@CampingGuidance thank you! Can’t wait to see more content :) you should post affiliate links to maybe get a kick back from influencing anyone to purchase!! I know you helped me pick which was best for our needs for an upcoming trip. Again much appreciated!
You're most welcome Clarissa! I'm really happy that you like the content, and that I could help you with your decision too 😊 I actually have affiliate links in the description hahaha perhaps I should make it a little more obvious XD
@@CampingGuidance 😅😅 no I’m just a little dull. Haven’t placed My order yet but when I’m ready I will do so through your link since you helped me out so much. Have a great rest your week!
Oh no please don’t say that it’s definitely not obvious at all! But I’m glad you asked me ☺️ and awww thank you so much for wanting to place your orders through my link, that really means so much! Could you give me 12 hours or so to go dig out my pouch first? I was planning to run some water through it to double check what I told you haha
Question: is the 100ml test supposed to be a close simulation of how wet the towel will be after drying ones whole body after a regular shower at home?
Hi Ricky, yup that was the idea behind it. I weighed a few of my towels after showering and found that they typically absorbed between 50ml (1.7fl oz) to 75ml (2.5fl oz) of water, so I decided to just go with 100ml (3.4fl oz) as a rough gauge. The amount of water absorbed will vary quite a bit from person to person, depending on hair length and body size though. Hope this helps :)
@@CampingGuidance thank you very much. I ordered the PT luxe based on your parameters. Good work
@@jackeddemon Thank you Ricky! It's a really great pick and I hope you enjoy it :)
8:05 Mine was sticking to my skin 🙂
I'm sorry to hear about that :( But I gave your comment some thought and I realized that "sticking to skin" can be quite a subjective feeling! Cos my first camping towel was the Sea to Summit DryLite and man was that a pain in the but*! Super sticky. So when I discovered this PackTowl, it felt like a dream haha 😅 I hope this clarifies a little bit!
size and color?
Hi Adam, thanks for your question! I got this from REI in a Body size (25 x 54 inches), in a Rainforest color. I don't think they still have this color though, because they were closing out the color when I bought it.
@@CampingGuidance thanks for the reply!
You're most welcome Adam! :)
HEADS UP: the pack towel is STRETCHY. Makes it hard to dry off my back when I hold it behind me and try to pull left and right. I dont know why they made it so stretchy. Major downside to me.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah it is stretchy, thanks for letting me know. It wasn't an issue for me, but next time I'll know to mention that in any future towel reviews 🥰
When outside you don't need a mask. Just saying
Thanks for the feedback Nacky! I used to wear a mask when filming cos I’m camera shy though, not because of anything else hahaha 😅 but I appreciate you telling me!
Why are you wearing a mask outdoors?
Hi Barry! Oh that's just cos when I started this channel I wanted to be totally anonymous and hide my face from the camera 😅 Not a smart choice, I know hahaha.
@@CampingGuidance oh ok. Great video thank you very much.
@@barrypanaretou9124 You're welcome Barry! Glad you liked the video 🥰
