Description

Each of these beautifully soft camping and travel towels is made from 8.7 recycled plastic bottles, which are rescued from landfill and woven into the yarn, comprising 66% of the overall material used. We took just one travel towel to Everest Base Camp in an effort to save weight. That was stupid, nobody wanted to share a used towel and we were unable to get it washed. The Nomadix is a bit more expensive than other towels and quite larger as well. That being said, the larger price tag is more than justifiable – this towel will last longer than most and you will definitely get more use out of it. The Large at 160cm x 80 cm ( 63 x 31 inches) is plenty big enough, from armpits to knees. Extra Large also available, Large is plenty big enough for a beach towel. We own some of these too, they are almost 20 years old and still going strong! We Tested The Following Microfibre Towels for Travel, Sport, Camping, Gym or Home Use

We've got a wide range of sports and swimming towels built for lasting the test of time. Our travel towels combine funky prints with a high-quality weave, meaning they'll keep you warm and comfy for longer. What's more, our microfibre beach towels are super lightweight, so you can easily fit one in your bag next time you're headed to the seaside. Sports & Travel Towels Microfibre is a much more practical choice for multiple reasons. It has great absorption properties, dries up fast, and folds compactly. 2.

Fit-Flip: Best all-round microfibre towel Generally, bigger is better if you’re taking your towel to the beach – and there are a few jumbo-sized microfibre towels out there expressly aimed for this purpose. How should I wash my microfibre towel? You can use it for both your face and body, while still taking up very little space in your luggage.

The best microfibre towels

Unfortunately, they are not biodegradable and are made from non-renewable resources. Like most things, it’s a compromise, nothing is a perfect solution to saving the planet. Microfiber is a synthetic fiber, usually made out of polyesters, polyamides, or blends. The grabby texture of the microfiber makes the towel more absorbent which, in turn, makes it great for swimming, traveling, exercising, any activity that makes you wet. These are great, as they are easier to reach for in a loaded suitcase, and you can also use them to avoid the bulk when going to the beach. They come out of the washing machine almost dry, so if you’re the sort to use an electric dryer, no more tumble drying huge heavy towels and wasting the planet’s resources that way. Cotton Travel Towels May Be More Eco-Friedly

Microfibre is an incredibly fine synthetic fibre which can be found in multiple products these days. A micro-fibre towel usually dries four times faster, is six times lighter, and takes up a 1/8thof the space of a similar size standard towel. The material mix is soft, but occassionally caught on dry skin. There is no antibacterial treatment in the fabric either, so bacteria can build up over extended periods of time if you can’t get to a washing machine, which we found resulted in the towel getting a bit stinky. The majority of the microfiber travel towels on the market today come in a soft suede finish. Some have a luxury feel, others are too stiff. We live in the tropics and most of our travels have been tropical. We know these towels work for tropical conditions. This choice is heavily influenced by gender and by the proposed use. My husband is more than happy with a tiny towel to wrap around his waist, these towels are super-efficient at drying so size isn’t really a consideration when it comes to absorbance.Typical weights we found were 200- 300g for a large size. Know your maximum weight allowance for your airline, these do vary dramatically. Are Microfibre Travel Towels Environmentally Friendly? Compact – A microfiber travel towel should take up as little room as possible. They should fold up smaller than a tank-top. Like most synthetic fabrics, you should avoid putting your microfibre towel in the washing machine at a high-heat setting: this will only melt the fibres. Also, avoid using bleach or fabric softener as the former will erode those ultra-fine fibres and the latter will cause them to clump together.

The size you buy for your children will be dependent on their age and gender, a medium should be adequate for boys, larger for teenagegirls and up. As a woman, I like a larger towel to wrap right around me from armpit to knees. I also have long hair so to wrap and contain it effectively after a shower I do need a second, notquite so large, towel. The jury is out on whether cotton is a sustainable eco product in terms of water use and so on, but these won’t choke up our waterways like microfibres. The cotton towels are certainly more attractive than the microfibre towels and cost roughly the same.The finish is smooth, which means these towels are ideal for laying down on beaches and other terrain, and they won’t collect sand or grit. Treated with Polygiene, they boast permanent bacteria control, which will prevent the buildup of bad odors. Unfortunately, the world’s waters and reefs are now contaminated with microfibres. And they don’t break down. If I were buying new now I’d give serious consideration to a natural fibre or cotton travel towel like those below. At 70 x 37 inches, this is a large towel that provides ample coverage, whether you use it as a changing screen at the beach or as a cover-up when walking from your bedroom to a communal bathroom. There are various colors to choose from, including grass, lilac, aqua, and rich gray. All colors have statement-making stripes and hand-knotted tassels along the shorter edges. When you're not using it as a towel, this product also doubles as a scarf, sarong, picnic blanket, or throw for your living room at home.

You can leave the towel securely in place and wear it kilt-style, with or without a top, leaving your hands free to grab bags, paddles, wash bags and other gear, or to enjoy an ice cream, beach beer or picnic. And when you want to peel it off there’s a fabric pull hoop, which also comes in handy for hanging the towel up to dry. It was the lightest and had the softest feel. It also came in a nice rectangular box which you could wrap as a gift and it came with a handy mini towel for hands, feet, or face. The towel itself is a good size and big enough to wrap around me after a shower.I’d give this beach towel props just for being so damn good lookin’! Look at those patterns! So bold and colorful! Who says a microfiber travel towel has to be flat-colored and boring, anways? For adventures where every ounce of weight and inch of storage space counts, the ultra-compact, multifunctional Airlite is perfect. Some microfibre travel towels come in small medium and large, others come in a good range of accurately measured sizes. We’ll highlight some for you below. Weight and Size of Towel
