A rainy afternoon in Prague taught me to always pack a small towel

I was walking across the Charles Bridge when a huge rainstorm hit out of nowhere. My cheap rain jacket soaked through in minutes and I was freezing. I ducked into a cafe, but they charged 50 Czech koruna just for a paper towel to dry off. Now I always pack a small, quick-dry travel towel in my day bag. It has saved me from buying overpriced stuff or being wet and miserable so many times since. Does anyone else have a small, cheap item they never travel without?

Honestly I used to think travel towels were a waste of space. Then I got caught in a downpour in Lisbon and had to sit on a bus for an hour in soaking wet jeans. It was so uncomfortable I almost went to buy new pants. Now my little microfiber towel is the first thing in my bag. It packs down to nothing and has saved my day more than once. What's your towel like, is it the super thin kind?
