Description

A cotton bath towel is the single worst thing in a carry-on: it takes up a third of the bag, stays wet for a day, and smells within hours of being packed. This is the replacement — 85% polyester and 15% polyamide microfiber that folds to roughly the size of a tablet, dries far faster than cotton, and can go back in your bag damp without turning the rest of your luggage sour.

It comes in three sizes: Medium as a gym and face towel, Large as an everyday replacement, and Extra Large when you want a proper beach towel that still packs small. Every one ships with a mesh carry bag and a sewn-in hang loop.

Care instructions
Machine wash warm with like colours and tumble dry low, or hang it on the loop and let it dry itself. Wash it before the first use — that is when the fibres open up and absorbency jumps. Skip fabric softener: it coats the microfiber and is the main reason these towels stop absorbing. No bleach, no ironing.
Designed for real trips

Built for bags that are already full

Three reasons a cotton towel ruins a trip. Three things this does instead.

Packing the towel into a case beside a pool
01 — Takes almost no room

Folds down to about tablet size

A cotton bath towel is usually the bulkiest single item in a carry-on. Folded, this one sits flat against the side of a case or drops into a daypack without you rearranging anything around it — which is the difference between packing a towel and deciding not to bother.

Packing the towel into a gym bag after a workout
02 — Pack it damp

It doesn’t go sour in your bag

The real problem with a wet cotton towel isn’t the towel — it’s everything packed next to it. Microfiber holds far less water and dries from the inside of the bag, so it can be rolled up straight after the pool or the gym and reused several times before it needs a wash.

Towel going into a beach bag
03 — Mesh bag and a loop

Somewhere to put it, somewhere to hang it

The mesh bag keeps a damp towel off your clean clothes while still letting it breathe — a sealed dry bag would do the opposite. The sewn-in loop hangs it from a shower rail, a tent pole, a locker hook or a golf buggy, which is usually all it needs to finish drying.

Rolling the towel into a duffel bag on the beach
04 — Pick the right one

Medium for the gym, Large for everything

Medium (21 × 40") is a gym, face and hair towel that lives in a side pocket. Large (31.5 × 60") is the one most people actually want — close to a standard bath towel, and the default for travel. Extra Large (31.5 × 72") is a beach towel you can lie on, and still packs down smaller than a cotton bath sheet.

Perfect for RVs

These towels are great for traveling in an RV. The towels are soft, absorbent, and most importantly they dry quickly.

Bought one to use for our upcoming RV trip as a space saver. I have changed out my big terry cloth towel in my swim bag with this more compact product. While the feel is different than the big one, it dries me off great after showering and doesn't leave a wet inside of my swim backpack. Dries out completely really quickly. Swapped my bathroom towel out for one of these as well. A smaller size would be great as a bathroom hand towel too. 5 stars!

Perfect towel for the beach and/or camping!

We had heard about the benefits of microfiber towels, but we hadn't used one ourselves until this one! My husband and I went on a camping trip to Gulf Islands National Seashore recently, and this towel was perfect - I wish we had had more! The microfiber material resists sand and water. I put it a little too close to the shore causing it to get soaked from the waves, and it still dried before we even left the beach that day. It comes in a little bag, which is great for organization as well. We loved our microfiber towel and would highly recommend it!

Questions

Good to know before you travel

Which size should I get?
Medium (21 × 40") is a gym, face and hair towel — it fits in a side pocket. Large (31.5 × 60") is the everyday one, near enough a standard bath towel and the size most people want for travel. Extra Large (31.5 × 72") is a proper beach towel you can lie on, and still packs smaller than a cotton bath sheet.
Does it actually dry you properly?
It works differently from cotton. Cotton soaks water up and holds it; microfiber wicks it off the skin, so it feels less plush but clears water faster. If you are used to a thick bath sheet the first use feels unfamiliar — most people stop noticing within a week.
Will it smell if I pack it wet?
This is the main reason to own one. It holds far less water than cotton, so it dries out inside the bag rather than fermenting. Use the mesh bag rather than a sealed plastic one, and it can be reused several times between washes.
Why wash it before the first use?
New microfiber comes with a light finish from manufacturing that sits on the fibres and blunts absorbency. One warm wash removes it. Skip fabric softener for the same reason — it coats the fibres, and it is the single most common cause of a microfiber towel that has stopped absorbing.
Does sand stick to it?
Much less than cotton, because there is no looped pile for grains to lodge in. A shake usually clears it. That is also why it works as a beach towel despite being thin.
Is my colour and size combination in stock?
Not every colour is made in every size, and stock moves. Pick a size above and the colours that aren't available in it will grey out — click one anyway and it will tell you which sizes it does come in.
