Even GURPS: High Tech knows the importance of a towel! Right on p. 31,
Don’t Forget Your Towel! A towel is valuable to any adventurer – interstellar or not. Besides being useful when bathing, it can serve as a blanket, a fire tender, clothing, or a head covering. Attached to a stick, it’s a legionnaire’s pack – or a sail. It’s a privacy screen, a signaling device, or a cushion for an uncomfortable seat. Lashed to a foot and stuffed with newspapers, it’s a passable arc- tic boot. A soldier can use it to keep body armor from chafing or to cushion his helmet, or cut it into strips for bandages or a weapon sling. At TL5-6, a 2’¥4’ towel is $5, 1 lb. At TL7-8, a 2’¥4’ microfiber towel – quick-drying and highly absorbent – is $30, 0.25 lb.

FACT: A shemagh is just a tactical towel. ;)
