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.

  • 80% polyester / 20% polyamide performance weave
  • Full-body coverage at 80 × 160 cm
  • 230 g — packs to a fraction of a cotton towel of the same size
  • Elastic hanging loop at the centre — hooks over a branch, a rail or a tow bar to dry
  • Soft on skin, tough enough for bushveld dust and coastal wind
  • Dries fast enough not to develop the damp smell cotton gets
  • Breathable carry case included
Size 80 × 160 cm

Dry time Up to 3× faster than cotton
Colours Deepwater Blue, Turquoise, Pastel Pink, Stealth Grey
Carry case Included, breathable
  • Microfibre towel (80 × 160 cm)
  • Breathable carry case
  • Skip the fabric softener. This is the one that matters. Softener coats the fibres and destroys the towel's ability to absorb. Wash with detergent only.
  • Washing. Machine wash warm, on its own or with other synthetics. Washing microfibre with cotton towels means it collects their lint, which does the same job as softener.
  • Drying. Tumble dry low or hang it up. It will be dry before you know it.
  • In the field. Wring it out hard and hang it over a tent line, an awning, or a roof rack. It dries in minutes in moving air, which is the whole point of owning one.
  • Storage. Store it dry in the carry case. The case is breathable so a slightly damp towel will not go sour in a pack — but dry is still better.
  • 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.
  • 7-day money-back guarantee. If it is not right for you, send it back within 7 days of delivery.
  • 6 months warranty against manufacturing defects.

80 × 160 cm — full bath-towel coverage, not a hand towel. It weighs 230 g and packs down to roughly a quarter of the volume of the cotton equivalent.

Soft, and gentle on skin. It has a different texture to cotton and takes a wash or two to get used to. If plushness at home is what matters most, keep a cotton towel for the bathroom and use this one everywhere else.

Not if it is dried properly, and it dries fast enough that this is easy. The odour cotton develops comes from staying wet for hours; microfibre does not.

Yes — warm wash, detergent only. Never use fabric softener: it coats the fibres and destroys the absorbency. Wash it with other synthetics rather than with cotton towels.

Yes, and it is cheaper per towel. Two or three at once is the most common order — one for the car, one for the gym bag.
