Dry before you need it again.

Shove a cotton towel into a packed bag and it's still damp the next morning. By day three you can smell it. This one wrings out almost dry, packs down to a quarter of the space, and is ready to use again within the hour.

Built for how people actually travel here – bushveld dust, coastal wind, a gym bag left in a hot car, and the weeks when load-shedding means the tumble dryer isn't an option.

  • Dries up to 3× faster than cotton, so it won't get that damp smell
  • When it's soaked, wring it out and keep using it
  • Full-body coverage at 80 × 160 cm
  • Packs into about a quarter of the space of a cotton towel at only 230 g
  • Elastic loop in the middle to hang it on a hook or a branch
  • Soft on skin, tough enough for bushveld dust and coastal wind
Size 80 × 160 cm
Weight 230 g
Material 80% polyester / 20% polyamide (nylon)
Dry time Up to 3× faster than cotton
Colours Deepwater Blue, Turquoise, Pastel Pink, Stealth Grey
Carry case Breathable EVA, included
  • Microfibre towel (80 × 160 cm)
  • Breathable EVA carry case
  • No fabric softener – It coats the fibres and stops the towel absorbing. Use detergent only.
  • Washing – Machine wash warm with other synthetics. Lint from cotton towels has the same effect as softener.
  • Drying – Tumble dry low or hang it up.
  • Outdoors – Wring it out hard and hang it on a line, an awning or a roof rack. It dries fast in moving air.
  • Storage – Keep it dry in the carry case. The case breathes, so a slightly damp towel won't start to smell.
  • Free shipping over R850, anywhere in South Africa. Below that it is a flat R79.
  • Dispatched the same day on orders placed before 15:00 on a working day.

Common questions

It soaks up water fast and dries you off properly after a shower or a swim. When it gets soaked, wring it out and keep going.

80 × 160 cm, the size of a bath towel. It weighs 230 g and packs into about a quarter of the space of a cotton one.

Yes, and gentle on skin. It feels smoother than cotton rather than fluffy, and most people are used to it after a wash or two.

Not if you let it dry, and it dries fast. Cotton smells because it stays wet for hours.

Yes. Warm wash, detergent only. Don't use fabric softener: it coats the fibres and stops the towel absorbing. Wash it with other synthetics, not with cotton towels.

Orders placed before 15:00 on a working day go out the same day, and delivery takes 1–4 working days. Shipping is free over R850, and R79 below that.

Ek is mal oor my handdoeke en veral die mooi pienk ene!

Proper size

I'm 1.8m and it actually wraps around my waist properly, which is rare for these travel towels. Sand shakes right off it after the beach too.

Does what it says

The tag of the grey towel is a bit different than the others. Other than that I love them

Really happy with these towels. It is huge but folds down to almost nothing in my bag. Definitely worth it.
