Yes. Lightweight, quick-dry, and compact enough to clip to the outside of a pack or stuff into the smallest side pocket. The built-in hanging loop means you can hang it to dry on a branch, tent pole, or caravan rail without needing to pack it away wet.
How quickly do travel towels dry?
Much faster than a regular cotton towel. The quick-dry performance blend wicks moisture away fast and air dries in a fraction of the time, which is essential when you are moving between locations and cannot afford to pack a wet towel.
What is the difference between a travel towel and a beach towel?
Our travel towels are made from the same quick-dry performance blend as our gym towels, so they are lightweight, fast-drying, and incredibly compact. At 315g they fold down even smaller than our already compact beach towels, making them the better choice when every gram and centimetre of space counts. Our beach towels are 180x90cm and built for days at the beach or pool where you want to stretch out and take up space.
How do I wash a travel towel?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener as it coats the fibres and reduces absorbency over time. Air dry or tumble dry low. The quick-dry fabric means it is ready to use again fast.
