I have lots of towels around. A few in the car, one or two in the office, and one of those fancy microfiber jobs in my man-bag. Here in Florida, they come in handy not only to wipe perspiration, but as a make-shift hat, bandage, ice-pack, tourniquet,filter, cool compress, glove, and all the other "normal" stuff.

I'm interested if others consider the towel a staple. Do you like the microfiber types or stick with the old cotton version? What size do you find most useful? What unique uses in the urban environment have you found?
