Travel Towel Query

I bought one of those swimmers towels the ones that look like a absorbent cloth that is stored inside a plastic tube. It was packed in a cellephane wrap and was wet when removed. As it has no instructions I do not know whether I dry it out and store it in the tube like this, or should it be always damp when stored. It seems to dry me nicely and I use it for commuting as it takes up far less room in my rucksack over my normal towel.

    Treat like an ordinary towel... dry before storing

    Perpetuating the myth that Lincolnshire is flat.

    Eww, won't it go mouldy if you don't dry it?

    I have one of the Orca teeny towels. It lets me pretend I do triathlons :D

    I was in Blacks the other day and got a keyring travel towel - it folds into a packet about the size of a small egg (I removed the keyring/karabiner bit). Sadly the towel is about the size of A4 paper... It is cool though.

    I use a sheet of pertex, don't use it like a towel to rub but to lift the water off your body. Packs small and dries quick.
