FAQ
How does the zip pocket affect the towel’s weight or feel?
The pocket is crafted from a thin, flexible mesh that adds only 5 grams to the total weight. It is positioned on the corner so it does not interfere with the towel’s draping or absorbency during use.
Can I use this towel for swimming as well as the gym?
Yes, absolutely. Its quick-dry nature makes it excellent for the poolside. However, for a more expansive drying experience, consider pairing it with a dedicated super absorbent quick-dry fitness towel for your routine.
Is the “compressed” aspect permanent?
No. The towel comes rolled tightly for shipping, but it expands to its full size immediately upon unrolling. The elastic band included allows you to re-compress it to the same small size anytime you need to pack it away.
Will fabric softener ruin the towel?
Yes. Fabric softeners coat the microfiber strands and clog the pores that absorb water, drastically reducing performance. We recommend washing with a mild detergent and air drying or using low heat.
