MSR Packtowl Personal Towels




MSR made the Packtowl Personal Towels with a soft, quick-drying fabric and an antimicrobial treatment, so you won’t have to carry a soggy, musty rag on your camping trip. The bath, body, hand, and face-size towels fold up and fit your pocket. The Packtowl’s serged edges won’t fray, and a snap loop makes this towel easy to hang-dry. Choose the bath size for long trips, and the smaller sizes for short trips to the pool.

    5 Stars Great Sandals
    Just as advertised. Great fit. I’ve been wearing them everyday since I’ve taken them out of the box.

    3 Stars Sizing isn’t consistent
    Newport H2 Full Sandal -Mens

    I recently purchased my second pair of Keen newport sandals. The first pair I got were awesome right out the box. I wear them all the time. So I decided to purchase a second pair. Same size different color. They don’t even feel close to the other ones. I’m wearing a pair of socks with them trying to get them broken in. Seems that Keen is not consistent with their sizing. Hope they start feeling good soon or they’ll end up in my wife’s annual yard sale.

    5 Stars Very Pleased!
    Bought this for the “urban jungle” of NYC. I’ve been wearing them almost every day for the past month and they are very comfortable. They seem to be well made and are holding up well. I’m very pleased with the purchase and would recommend them.

    5 Stars Outstanding Performer
    I have had my H2 sandals for over 3 years, and have put well over 1K miles on mine. Around town, in the water, and on the trail. They have not worn out or fallen apart, or lost color. I did have to have a shoe repairman reinforce the seams on the fabric where the side panels meet the sole, maybe 100 miles ago, but after 1K miles, I guess a little seam repair is more than reasonable. I just bought another pair, on sale, but they are still in the box cause the old ones are still going strong.

    4 Stars Newport H2
    A lot of people say it feels a half size too small but I think it feels true to

    both size and width. I received these shoes and was pleased to find that there

    isn’t any break-in time. I have a job where I walk around for 8 hours straight;

    I wore these the first day without any pain later that evening or the next day.

    There is an adjustable elastic cord that can be tightened, but I think the shoes

    are more comfortable if they are left a little loose. I had them tightened one

    day and noticed a pinching sensation after a couple hours of use. Another reason

    to wear them loose is that it makes it easier to put them back on if your feet

    are wet or sweaty

    They feel like they have very good traction but I’m not walking through rivers

    with slippery rocks so it isn’t the best test.

    Because these are closed-toe sandals, it creates a problem when small rocks,

    sand, or other objects get into the shoe. I found that I can’t just wiggle my

    foot around to get rid of the nuisance, I need to take the shoe completely off

    and dump it out. Another thing I noticed about these shoes is that it dried out

    the back of my heels. I only had to apply lotion once to correct the dryness and

    I have not had a problem since, but it is something to be aware of.

    Overall this is a great sandal and I don’t have to worry about sticks or other

    objects stabbing my toes because of the closed-toe feature. I have owned these

    for about a month now and they don’t show any signs of wear so I expect them to

    hold up for a long time. I would not recommend them for walking around on the

    beach because sand and rocks get trapped underneath your feet and up in the toe

    area, but for walking through rivers and as a casual shoe these are great. One

    last problem that I just thought of is that they aren’t comfortable for standing around with minimal movement for long periods of time. It’s possibly just my feet, but anyone interested in these should try them on and stand around for a while to see how they feel.

    5 Stars Glide? Check.
    Seriously, I can’t even consider leaving the house for a run without gliding up first. Everywhere and anywhere. This stuff is a necessity.

    4 Stars does what it says
    What can I say? It does what it says on the packaging, and does it well. I just wish I’d found it sooner!

    4 Stars Thank you Body Glide
    I use this for my inner thighs–can’t leave on my runs without it! Definitely better than vasoline. Doesn’t stain any fabric that I have, either.

    4 Stars smooth body now
    this was a great product. only problem is that when it arrived, it was really really warm out and it was left by the door, in the sun. when i tried to use it it crumbled. but now that it is at room temperature it is great. i would recommend this product for anyone with caffing issues, whether it be legs, arms, or nipples. great product.

    4 Stars Great for long distance runners
    I was very happy with this product and it was helpful for me when I run long distances (over 5 miles). I’ve found that it has really smoothed out running and any friction that might otherwise chafe.

    My one gripe would be that it seems to crumble a little at first, so I will get crumbs coming off the edges when I use it. It’s minor, but annoying when I step on those crumbs on a tile floor…

    5 Stars So comfy!
    I’ve worn these off and on for the last two days and they are a perfect fit, no breaking in needed. I normally wear 10.5 shoes but for these an 11 was exactly right for me, so you should order one size up if you’re between sizes. I have poor arches on both feet but these are very comfortable because of their arch support. (I had a pair of Sanuks before but the soles were too flat to wear regularly.) Brown color is good if you don’t want to be too garish. Price was hard to beat. Hope they last!

    5 Stars Great!!!
    These shoes are super comfortable. My husband says they are the most comfortable reefs he’s ever had. They have extra support for arches. Very good price and delivery time.

    5 Stars A great, affordable sandal
    These are great sandals. They have nice arch supports and are pretty comfortable.

    They are much cheaper online as well! In the store these go for more than twice the price!

    4 Stars Hubby is happy with them….
    Bought them for my husband. They are true to size, a cute style, and go with a lot. Only complaint from him –> he has flat feet and they have a pretty good arch support which took a little getting used to.

    5 Stars No Pain
    The first time I wore these sandals it was to walk a friend home one evening. I took my dog along and on the way home I decided to jog to let my dog expend some of her energy. I jogged about a mile in my brand new slippers with absolutely no pain whatsoever! They didn’t rub, pinch or need any breaking in! The next day when I looked at my new “running” slippers I noticed the imprint of my foot was visible and the sandal had slightly curved like a cradle around that imprint. When I slipped them on it was like I had been wearing them for years they fit my feet so perfectly; it’s almost like they were custom made just for me.

    5 Stars Comfy and versatile
    I just bought my second pair because I wore out my first. These are really comfortable and versatile.

    5 Stars Teva Toolani Sandal
    This sandal is great! Very comfortable cloth strap and soft sole and even has an arch support which is key if you wear flip flops all the time over the summer like I do. Love them!

    5 Stars Great everyday flip flops - even better price!
    These are so comfy - the fabric straps have to be gotten used to, but otherwise, this is a fantastic buy. You can’t see it in the pictures, but there is also some arch support, so they’ll beat out $3 Old Navy sandals any day. Highly recommend!

    5 Stars The Ultimate Flip Flop
    I wasn’t sure why I spent so much money on a pair of flip flops, but everytime I slip them on I know why. These are so comfortable and even give you a bit of arch support. They’re great!
