The full-size towel weighed in grams, not ounces.
Best For: Ultralight backpackers and gram-counting travelers who refuse to carry the silicone case.
- Lightest-in-class - same nanofiber towel, no silicone case — just a mesh stuff sack
- Absorbs 2.3× its weight in water - same absorbency as the NanoDry, no compromise
- Powermesh stuff sack - airflow dries the towel while it's stowed
- Side-release buckle hang loop - clip to a branch, shower hook, or backpack strap
- Hypalon™ handle on the sack - clip the whole thing to a carabiner
- Machine washable - wash with like colors, line dry
*120 × 60 cm full-body towel. Also available in Small (39 × 39 cm) for hand and face.
Picture this: You're hiking the JMT. Every gram is debated. You want a real towel for the lake plunge after day 4, but you can't justify a silicone case. Enter this towel. Same nanofiber. Half the kit.
Designed for base weight. - The mesh sack adds almost nothing. The towel doesn't either.
For people whose pack list is a spreadsheet - Thru-hikers. Bikepackers. Trail runners. Climbers. Anyone who logs grams.
The old setup hurt - Pack a real towel; it stays wet. Pack a microfiber; it doesn't absorb. Pack nothing; you're wet for hours.
The new setup - Real absorbency in a sack that breathes. Dries on the pack while you walk.
REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL TRAVELERS

"How is this different from the NanoDry?" "What if something tears?" "Is the towel machine washable?" |
