Packtowl Ultralite Towel

The Packtowl Ultralite feels softer and smoother than traditional cotton towels. While it doesn't have the plush, looped pile of a bath towel, it is gentle on the skin and specifically designed to be anti-pill, so it maintains its smooth finish over time.

Yes, it is an excellent choice for high-sweat activities. Its ability to absorb four times its weight in water and dry 80% faster than cotton makes it much more practical than a standard towel, which would stay heavy and damp throughout your workout.

It is designed for minimalists, so it packs down significantly smaller than a cotton towel of the same size. It is lightweight at 5.1 ounces, making it easy to tuck into a side pocket or a small corner of your bag without adding bulk.

Because the fabric dries so quickly, it is much less prone to developing that musty, mildewy smell often associated with damp cotton towels. However, like any gym gear, it should be washed regularly to keep it fresh.

It is machine washable, which makes maintenance simple. You can toss it in with your regular laundry, though we recommend avoiding fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the towel's absorbency over time.
