Wouldn't it take forever to unload and reload them at security?

Way too much hassle for my liking and I aint got time to do washing on a short trip like 10 days. Much better things to do....But each to there own as the saying goes....!

I can only imagine the eye-rolling that must occur behind you in the security line as you empty your pockets of so much gear!!

Do it every time I travel :) I love my big bulky towels, but they take up way too much space in the bag. I tried the fibre-optic towels for a few months and hated it. Might be ok if you go on a short trip, but for long term travelling I'm afraid I just can't sacrifice the comfort of fluffiness :) Note that I didn't show in the video that I only have everything on me like that when passing through security (and have learned to take it all off in less than a few seconds believe it or not, for passing through quickly) and when boarding the plane if it's Ryanair (they enforce the one-bag rule as you leave the terminal on some flights). I usually travel with lots of books stuffed into the <i>inside</i> of my jacket (I ripped a whole in the jacket and treat that like a "second carry on" bag in a way. No rules are being broken, just loopholes being jumped through :) I bring a big plastic bag in my pocket to dump everything into while strolling around the terminal and to use on arrival. If possible I'd like to make a second video to explain all that, but I won't get around to it until next year since I have <a href="http://www.fluentin3months.com" rel="nofollow">other projects</a>.

Ever thought of the small swimming towels that you can squeeze the moisture out and then it dries, pack in the size of a sunglasses casing. Perhaps, air dry? The superman thing was funny.

Traveling lite is the only way to go. That is awesome – I’m taking a carry-on and a large bag around the world for a month. Traveling lite is the only way to go.
