Quick Dry Towels

From ultralight and packable AirLite Towels to the terry-cloth finish touch-of-luxury Tek Towels, Sea to Summit offers multiple ways for you to dry yourself on any adventure. Upgraded for 2023 to include recycled fibers, these towels are as absorbent, as quick-drying and as soft as ever.

Towel Sizes & Uses

Different towel sizes suit different jobs:

• Small: Face, hands, dishes, or a quick wipe-down
• Medium: Gym bags, day trips, or minimalist travel
• Large: Camp showers, swimming, and full-body drying
• Extra-large: Beach days, van life, or extra comfort around camp

A smaller towel can be surprisingly useful as a backup. A larger camping towel can be an ideal option when you have space to spare.

Choosing the Right Towel

Airlite Towel — Our lightest and fastest-drying towel, with a featherweight knitted fabric that packs down smaller than a fist. Built for minimalist trips and everyday use where every gram counts, and its elongated shape doubles as a bandana or neck wrap.

Pocket Towel — The silkiest, most compact towel in the range and the second lightest option. Great as a grab-and-go towel for gym bags, day hikes, or anywhere pack space is tight.

Drylite Towel — A midweight towel with a soft, ultra-suede-like finish that feels closer to a traditional towel. The best all-rounder for backpacking, travel, and gym use, and it comes in the widest size range, from hand-towel to full body.

Tek Towel — The heaviest and most absorbent towel we make, with a terry loop-like finish similar to a towel you'd use at home. Suited to basecamp, paddling, or anywhere durability matters. Tough enough for wet dogs, muddy feet, and daily use at camp, where maximum absorbency is worth the extra weight.
