Best material to use for replacement absorbent pads?

As it says really.

Thinking about making up some spare pads. I'm thinking about using some microfibre compact travel towel material. What do you think??

Cheers,

Pete

I’ve cut a fair number for the various iterations of Meg stuf I’ve built. I always cut them from what I’d bet is a super-fiber material that is just like yours. I’ve seen it in both auto parts stores and boating supply stores sold as artificial super chamois. Works great- can wring out 90% + of moisture easily and rest dries quickly.

How much is it? ISC has a set of 4 pads for $15. Can't get much cheaper than that. I am all for saving money...except when it comes to my women.

What the hell are y'all talking about -- Why do you need these and what are they for?

I've used MSR Pack towels. about 6-8 bucks from the local camping outlet.

Pete, PM Dennis or give him a ring, he was talking about them the other day and will put you in the right direction.
