Really nice print. Love that the towel comes with a small mesh bag for easy convenient storage!

5 KC S.
Love all my Nomadix towels. I bought this to use for a long hike later this fall, but have found myself using it all the time, including as a seat cover after long sweaty runs here in the TX heat. My favorite is still the Original, but while traveling, I 'll be grateful for this less bulky option.

5 Kristi L.
Love it. Bought for kids to use daily at swim practice. Dries quickly ready for the next day ’s practice. Kids loves the design.

5 Jayna H.
Great for camper vans. They don ’ t take much space and dry very quick.

Love. Quick drying for daily swim practice. No more wet towels the next day. Beautiful design. Great replacement for old kids beach towels.

I bought this for backpacking. It is certainly lighter and should dry quicker and pick up less stuff on the trail.

I have purchased similar products to the Coghlan's Microfiber towel in the past and I must say they do not disappoint. This towel has been great for drying off quick when triathlon training between my swim and run leg. I travels well and is great for camping also.

5 Katie J.
I wanted this product as my luxury item. I have used camp towels in the past, and I just tend to not like the smaller towels, even though they pack smaller. So, I ordered the largest towel. Overall, it packs reasonably small. A bit difficult to get back into the carrying case after use, however. Maybe having a sack or compression sac would be better than the case. It did an outstanding job drying me off and drying my hair. I liked the snap on the towel to hang it up to dry. It dried very quickly, so I could hang it in the Jeep when we drove to our next destination, and it would be dry even with closed windows. I plan to use this towel in my gym bag and at the pool; it will be much more convenient than my beach towel( I swim laps at an outdoor pool in the summer). It would be a great dog drying towel, too.

International travel needs to be light, compact and easy to access on a train, plain or restroom. The Travel Light system fits all of these needs. My wife and I are retiring and on our way to Scotland! The Traveling Light system is just the right size for a small travel bag and it is TSA approved. System Includes: Travelling Light Hanging Toiletry Bag/ Traveling Light TPU Clear Zip Pouch with Bottles/ Pocket Towel

Awesome little light- weight and effective drying towel. Dries quickly and soaks up water really well.

5 Dave
I love that this towel is compact and lightweight. I went with the XL size as it is the size of a normal bath towel. This towel dries out wicked fast! Lay it out and it's dry in less than 10 minutes!

5 Alice
The most lush and absorbent of all of Sea to Summit's towels, I 've found so many uses for this towel. I got in the XL size, and I use it all the time- as a beach towel, pool towel, camp towel, or even an everyday towel( it dries my hair so fast). The great thing is that it folds up smaller than a normal towel, dries faster, and feels so soft.

5 Jack
These are great towels as other reviewers have shared. I bought the large and extra- large versions specifically for camping/backpacking and also for deployments. They work outstanding in both environments! I appreciate they feel much more like a regular towel over a major competitors brand that I 've used for years that feels like a shammy you dry your car with. They both dry quickly and pack down small but you ca n't beat the next to skin feel of the Tek Towels. Pay attention to the sizing/recommendations. The XL is definitely a big towel if you need or like the abundance. I recommend the Large for most situations ie field showers, pool, and such.

5 Isabela
Practical and really absorbent Towel. It's dry so fast and its perfect to use day by day. You will not miss anything!

5 Mother D.
Fabulous towels and washcloths. Super soft and vibrant, beautiful colors! Ca n't wait to try them! My daughter will take these in her upcoming trip. These wash and dry wonderfully.

5 Gib
Minimalist essential! My family is downsizing our possessions. Trying to simplify our life I 'm preparing for my upcoming retirement. We had a crap- load of towels in our home. WAY more than we can use at any one time. I started using a camp towel that I purchased a few years ago and a small lightbulb appeared over my head. I immediately took advantage of a S2S deal and bought 3 Tek Towels to test run. They work wonderfully. Big, absorbent, quick- drying, and small packing. These are our only bath towels now. The size is perfect for household, beach, and travel use. I would n't take this backpacking, but we use them daily for everything else. Once again: great product from a company I trust.

5 CRob12
I got the yoga Mat towel because I found the mat I had was hard to keep clean and saw that these could be washed. It is beautifully colored. Easy to carry and to put in place when ready to use. It is easy to store and the best part is that it washes. I do not have a dryer and it does line dry well. It came out perfect and ready for use again. I prefer this over my mat for the pilates I do at home.

[ I 've heard about these towels and I must say I was skeptical because I work out a lot and I definitely need something to keep me cool so when I bought this town I was completely shocked.

[ I used this product while marathon training and really appreciated it-- after coming home from a long run, it was so refreshing to put a cool towel on my neck afterwards. This towel instantly gets cold and is great quality, and could n't believe how cool it remained for a while.

5 Trey
[ There is n't much to this Max Plus Cooling Towel. The fabric type is patented and activates its cooling feature quite easily. The instructions state that you should wet the towel, wring it out, and then `` snap '' it( like you might with a beach or bath towel). The towel immediately feels cool and stays cool for up to 3 hours! The towel is small enough and shaped similar to a neck scarf to be easy to carry while jogging or other activities, or even can fit in your pocket. Since it's machine washable, this towel can be reused over and over again. It even provides UPF 50 sun protection and is antimicrobial for odor control!

5 LovelyB79
[ Max Plus Towel Fiesta is very great towel the coolant when you wet works awesome for especially for me. I love the aborsbmant that it has and how instantly it cools. I would highly recommend anyone to give it a try.

I love my Manduka yoga mat, but my hands and feet tend to sweat during practice. And I also like to attend hot vinyasa classes where I can really sweat!

It dries quickly and easy to launder.

Frequently Asked Questions For Lightweight Towels

Lightweight towels are designed for easy portability, making them ideal for travel, camping, and outdoor activities. They typically dry quickly, reducing the risk of mildew and odors. Additionally, their compact size allows for convenient packing without taking up much space.

Lightweight towels are often made from materials such as microfiber, which is known for its quick-drying properties and softness. Some may also use synthetic blends that enhance durability and absorbency while keeping the towel lightweight. Understanding the material can help you choose a towel that meets your specific needs.

When selecting a lightweight towel, consider the intended use. Smaller towels are great for personal hygiene or quick drying, while larger towels may be better suited for activities like swimming or camping. Think about how much space you have in your bag and how you plan to use the towel to determine the best size.

Yes, lightweight towels are versatile and can be used for various activities, including travel, gym workouts, beach outings, and hiking. Their quick-drying nature and compact design make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, providing convenience no matter the setting.

While lightweight towels may not absorb as much water as traditional towels, many are designed to be highly absorbent relative to their size. Microfiber options, in particular, can effectively wick moisture away while remaining lightweight. It's important to consider your specific needs for absorbency when making a choice.
