Do you need one?
Useful at the pool or for a stay without towels; unnecessary if a towel is already provided. Choose the surface area you need, not simply the lightest model.
To be checked before selecting
- Enough surface area for your needs
- Dry weight, including or excluding the pouch
- A loop for hanging and airing
- Washing and drying instructions

The trade-off to understand
A wet towel weighs more. Let it dry before longer-term storage; microfibre does not feel as plush as cotton.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need to buy a new accessory?
No, if your current equipment already meets the need. Check what you own and what is provided at your destination.
