    说说毛巾

     

          在户外活动中,毛巾大概是我使用频率最高的装备之一了,由于很爱出汗,在炎热的夏季毛巾更是须臾不可离。曾用过普通的棉质毛巾,感觉不是很方便:吸水之后太重,十分难干,长时间密封保存之后还会有异味,于是一块快干且无异味,适合在户外使用的毛巾成了我当时最想得到的装备。
     
          那是2002年,国内市场上还很少见到这类产品,只好颇费周折地托国外的朋友帮买回了Cascade Design的Packtowl吸水快干毛巾。Cascade Design是较早推出快干毛巾的厂家,它的产品Packtowl在某种程度上已经成为了这类产品的代名词。这块毛巾被我频繁地使用了6年后,终于在一次穿越活动中寿终正寝了,购买一块新的快干毛巾也就成为当务之急。
     
          最近去了几次户外运动用品店才知道快干毛巾的市场发展非常快,早已不再是Packtowl一支独秀的时代了,不少国内厂家都推出了新材料,价格也很便宜。比较一番后,我还是又选择了Packtowl。除了习惯外,感觉国产快干毛巾在吸水性、快干性等指标上与Packtowl还是有一定的差距(条件所限,我只试了有限的几个品牌和款式,得出的结论可能有点片面)。新款的Packtowl与老款最大的区别是logo,这时Cascade Design已经被美国顶尖户外品牌MSR收购,Packtowl也就顺理成章地打上了MSR的印记。
     
     
     
          Packtowl用的是Viscose纤维,再织成厚绒布。Viscose拥有极高的吸水性,可吸收多达本身重量9倍的水份,同时在拧搓时又易于排出近90%的水份,便于更快地干透。这种材料重量轻,而且没有异味,可以说几乎克服了棉质毛巾的所有缺点,相信一旦用过之后你外出就不会再考虑棉质的毛巾了。Viscose唯一的缺点是舒适感比棉质毛巾稍差,广告里虽然标榜“Viscose是从100%的天然植物中提取而成,手感自然柔软,无一般人造纤维的胶质感,手洗或机洗后感觉更舒服”,其实手感和超市里卖的那种德式抹布差不多,如果不是特别挑剔,应该还是可以接受的。Packtowl一角有挂环,便于晾晒。
     
          Packtowl分XL、L、M 、S和Kitchen 5个尺寸,一般用S号就够了,25x76CM的大小也便于携带。
     
          上周末买了MSR刚上市的Packtowl UltraLite,也就是Packtowl的轻量版本,S号居然只有21G,还配了个很烧包的涂硅面料的橙色收纳小包^_^
