MSR Nano

This material doesn't wet out very easily. For instance, when used to wipe down the inside of a tent it behaves more like a squeegee than a sponge.

A bandana works better, and dries faster, IMHO.

I think both these: http://www.ultralighttowels.com/ and these: http://luxebamboo.squarespace.com/welcome/
are lighter. They may not be as durable. I've used the Lightload and they absorb well (in my opinion) but you don't want to put them in a washing machine.

Cheap.

Handi Wipes are indeed more absorbent, lighter AND cheaper.

How long are the handi wipes lasting for you guys? And for the amount of time they are lasting, what do you use them for and how often?

I don't find handi-wipes very durable. I use them in my kitchen set to wipe the pot clean and to cushion my little Esbit stove and lighter and keep them from rattling around. About 3 weekend uses is about it for me, and that's washing them out at home by hand.

I've torn large holes in one washing dishes while car camping, and based on the flimsiness I don't believe I would like them for body washing.

I haven't really tried wiping down a tent with them.

That sounds ok to me. Those things are cheap so 3 weekend uses are plenty. As long as they can last a 3 to 5 day trip when using them to dry my mug after boiling water, use as a paper towel while eating, dry tent in morning, dry mouth after brushing teeth. None of those activities put too much stress on anything.
