Not really, It's more like a shammy towel used for drying cars but works great for a camp towel.

I really like the towel but I don't think that this would be your best option. If in a jam, I think it would work.

I usually take both. The towel is more absorbent than a bandana. I prefer the bandana for other tasks however, such as cooking for its smaller size

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.

Maybe. Depends on what you are trying to soak/ wipe up. Sweat, tears, other non viscous liquids? Prob will work well for that. Nose fluid and other viscous liquids? Prob not so much

It would probably get gross pretty fast with mucus. For sweat they're great and if you're by a clean water source you can soak and wring out and have dry in the morning. For reusable kleenex I've always used the old red paisley bandanas just like my grandfather always had. White Paisley Bandanna

I don't really think so. Its much thicker than a normal handkerchief and not as soft. Its a great product, just probably not for this purpose

For backpacking: This would be great to tie to your shoulder strap to wipe sweat away. For everyday carry you probably would not want something this bulky in your pocket. I bought the xl to use for a towel and I always feel damp afterwards.

I don't think it would be a good substitute for a machine that one uses for albuterol treatments. I used to need one of those machines and no, I don't think it would work nearly as well as the nebulizer, which delivers medication to a mouthpiece and more directly in to the lungs. This is more meant to be something like the effect you get from showering when you have a cold. It loosens your sinuses and moisturizes them and helps your lungs if you breathe deeply. It's meant more for a cold or sinusitis, not asthma or severe allergies or pneumonia which necessitate a nebulizer. I eventually bought my own nebulizer when I was badly afflicted with allergies, and there is no way this machine would have been as effective for helping me as the nebulizer was.

Most of the time I have expienced relife from my stuffy nose after using this. However do not expect this to cure the reason for your stuffy nose. If your sick or have allergies, this is not a medication or permanent cure. Youd obviously need to get whatever is causing your stuffy nose under control too.I do highly recommend this though! Works like a charm and great to have on hand in your medicine cabnit.

I'm thinking of getting the irrigation system. My doctor recommended irrigating the sinuses with salt water, I just make it at home. I used to use a neti pot, but I don't like it so I just use my clean hand cupped and it works better for me. Yes, it does help much. It also prevents colds and the flu. Another thing that helps my allergies to pollens is filtering the air I have a hepa filter that relieves my allergies after filtering the air for 45 minutes, and rinsing out my sinuses, together that helps a lot. I'm thinking of getting the irrigation system, if it'll save me time. I wish some one who had one would post.

Yes it is pretty small.but since you are only using it on your nose it will last you long time. It also depends on how often you use it too. You don't need to put a lot at a time just to cover your nose so it will last you pretty long time

I have not used one of these towels before << disclaimer, but i have done a lotttt of camping and i think you're going to want a towel that is a bit more robust. If there's even the chance that it'll disintegrate and it sounds like it's paper thing, i wouldn't put all my eggs in my pocket....just a bit of friendly advice from a fellow glamper.

Had I bought Sinus Buster, I could tell u what the diff is in that & Allergy Buster. I bought Nasal Allergy relief. Don't buy the latter, its a waste of $$$

I have allergies too. I use this for dusting everything in the home. It makes quick work of dusting large and small areas. It fits into small spaces. I love it. I still go over thing once in a while with Windex, but for weekly cleaning it works great and is very fast. I find I do a much better job of dusting with this brush. Things like doors and around windows that I did once in a blue moon I do about every other week now since it is so fast.

I honestly haven't noticed that this product works in that capacity at all. It actually hasn't stopped or removed any odor that I have noticed. The one thing I have noticed is that we sneeze less which is great for us with seasonal allergies! :) Hope this helps someone.

Hi Matthew. Honestly, I don't think that the stuff sack is a good solution for a long backpacking trip. The stuff sack is about 10" in diameter when stuffed with both items, and it weighs roughly 10lbs. It's just not the most convenient carrying item for a backpacking excursion.However, if you can find some sort of military type pack that will have room in it for stuffing the items in it, then absolutely they would be a must have for the trip.They compress pretty good and simple, so getting them into a backpack rig that is large enough for a "long trip" shouldn't be any trouble.Hope this helps! Happy shopping.......and by the way, they are very comfortable and warm. Just FYI.....Take care and Happy Holidays. Hi Matthew.

Hay also.....I just noticed that Amazon has them on sale right now for $13.20! The Enisyl-F Lysine ones, that is!!! And I wondered something else for you.....my Vet, a long time ago, said that I could ALSO use a mild over the counter eye drop whenever needed. Just ask your Pharmacist, they will be able to tell you which one to use!!!

Is this a real question? This stuff has very limited utility and isn't worth the cans they squirt it into. Don't rip yourself off by buying it. I wouldn't spray anything with this trash. It will flake off within a week if water is continuously spraying it or if you touch it regularly. It might be water repellant but it has no wear abilities whatsoever. Not to mention the fact that it always retains a tacky/velvety texture and you can feel it on your skin after touching it. It also dissolves with terpines or oil based products so any cleaning agents you would use in your shower would have to be water based only. Is this a real question?

Youd be better off with just nose plugs. I'm thinking that you'd probable loose a mask with that activity.

small enuff for a back pack. And PERFECT for camping!!(either as a primary pillow.....or sumthing to put between knees or under small of back for comfort)** what it turned out NOT to be so useful for was as a travel pillow when on a road trip/staying in motels: very comfortable but too small for that purpose. A real pillow, i.e. more normal size, is a better choice. LUV it tho'!!

Hmmm.....interesting question. You realize that this calls for a completely subjective answer, right? What may be soft enough for my face, may not be soft enough for yours.....in fact, I prefer Scott toilet paper which is sandpaper compared with the newer toilet paper products on the market, or even Charmin which is not so new, but much softer. So let me try to give you an answer by way of analogy: Have you ever seen those rolls of brown paper in restrooms in stores? These paper towels are much softer than those. However, these are not anywhere near as soft as the new paper towels marketed by Kleenex (the ones they recommend you use in place of hand towels in the bathroom). We use these mostly in the kitchen, but I do use them to blow my nose and they are soft enough, and strong enough, for that (I go right through tissues!). But, these paper towels are not as soft as Bounty paper towels. A long answer, but I hope it helps.

So , the poncho liner is the name , but in the field we know that it is basically a very light compactable blanket , I can say that i have never and i have never seen anyone acutally use this with their poncho unless it was as a sleeping back , so i would say this is not really to be used as a " poncho liner " if you are wearing your poncho as wet weather gear . Its just a really good feild blanket or blanket in general. super lightweight and compacts really good .

I think that I have to say, "It is not allergen-impermeable" with the recent purchase. I have bought all new bedding stuff. But just once recently. used a 2 year-old anti-allergy quilt for a night, the kid sneezed whole night . What I notice is that the quilt cover I bought a few years ago (2 years ago?) was air-impermeable when it was zipped up and after lots of washing are becoming air-permeable, which means that when I made up the bed the cover was filled with air and I had to let air out gently. The ones I bought recently have the same problem. Also as the quilt is so thin, I have a thought that maybe one day, everything can be made without real material with the helping of some advanced technology.
