As explained in the Guide, towels are “the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” A towel has both practical value (can be used for warmth, as shelter, as a weapon, and, strangely, to dry one’s body) as well as psychological value (if a non-Hitchhiker sees you with a towel, they’ll assume you’re fully stocked with other necessities as well)
