You've probably heard of it before: a travel towel. A travel towel is a compact towel made of microfiber designed for travel. This compact microfiber towel is excellent for beach vacations, but also for active trips like backpacking. In this article, Buvanha shares what a compact microfiber towel is and the benefits of a compact microfiber towel.
What is a compact microfiber towel?
Microfiber towels are synthetic fibers made from polyester and polyamide. Usually finer than the diameter of a silk thread and extremely fine compared to a cotton strand, but due to their tightly woven construction, they can absorb surprisingly large amounts of moisture! They are soft, absorbent, durable, and fold compactly. Because of this, a microfiber towel is considered the best towel for travel.
The benefits of a compact microfiber towel
Now that we know what a microfiber towel is and what it is made of, it is also good to know the benefits of this type of towel.
Compact size
The name says it all: a microfiber towel folds compactly. Microfiber towels are usually 1/4 the size of a regular towel and can therefore be packed more compactly, creating more space in your luggage for other items.
The compact microfiber travel towel from Buvanha even comes in a separate travel bag, making it easy to carry and store the towel wherever you go.
Lightweight
Thanks to the compact size, microfiber towels also weigh only 1/3 of regular towels. Especially when compared to the weight of a cotton towel soaked with water. This prevents carrying heavy bags to the beach, pool, or during travel.
Super absorbent
As mentioned earlier, microfiber cloths are made up of many small, thin fibers that, due to their size and quantity, absorb water and moisture much more easily than traditional towels, making them extremely absorbent despite being so much more compact.
Quick-drying towel
Because of the fast release of absorbed water, it also speeds up the drying process after a match or workout, and the quick release of water ensures the microfiber towel is dry and ready for use the next time you need it.
More hygienic
Due to their quick-drying property, microfiber towels are much more hygienic than traditional towels because they do not retain moisture and therefore do not hold musty odors for long periods.
Bacteria and fungi thrive in wet towels left in a bag or stacked on a pool deck, resulting in unpleasant odors and less than ideal towel performance.
Not just for travel
Whether for the gym, swimming lessons, or spinning, compact microfiber towels are highly recommended. Consider taking them on short trips as a backup for your hotel towel, use them to wrap your hair after washing, take them to the beach, and many other handy ways to use them.
