About this deal

Cotton is a water-thirsty crop and not generally considered “green”. I don’t know what the answer is.

Testing this selection of the best camping towels, we too noticed their versatility and importance to any trip. As well as the obvious function of getting us dry after a shower, we wrapped them around us for warmth and lay on them on beaches. We could have used them as flags to signal rescue services or wafted them to ward off hungry predators, but the opportunities, thankfully, never arose.

You simply wet them in room temperature water, dry them slightly, and they stay really cool for hours. Great for after or during workouts, journeys without air-con, hot kids, or for menopausal flushes. Also good for any tropical climate.

Lifeventure state this towel will soak up nine times its own weight in moisture – but on test we didn’t think it was anywhere near as absorbent as claimed. It does dry you off, of course, but not as fast and efficiently as some towels with a more fibrous finish. However, the smooth feel will more than compensate for this for many people.There’s no bag included with this one, but you can wrap the large elasticized hanging loop around the rolled-up towel and that keeps everything nice and tidy. The same loop is ideal for securely hanging the towel from a tree (or whatever else you have nearby) while it dries in the wind.

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. We live in the tropics and most of our travels have been tropical. We know these towels work for tropical conditions. Our microfibre towels are ideal for keeping you dry in the outdoors. Whether you're an active traveller, hiker or beach lover, you're sure to find the perfect towel for all your outdoor pursuits.

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? Yes. Microfiber towels can be washed and dried with ordinary washers and dryers, often having the same care requirements as cotton. Having your own towel for traveling the world can be immensely useful. Going to the beach? The towel will keep the sand off your ass and out of your portable speaker. Want to have a spontaneous yoga session? Throwdown your towel and chaturanga away. Need to dry out those hiking boots after a long walk? Use that towel to soak up any leftover moisture in those boots (maybe do that after washing yourself though) 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.

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. 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?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.
