Product Information
Full details
The Sea to Summit Airlite Microfibre Towel is designed for ultralight backpackers, minimalist travelers, and gym-goers who need a high-performance drying solution that occupies minimal pack space. It offers impressive absorption capacity, holding up to three times its weight in water, and dries exceptionally fast; however, due to its specialized ultralight construction, it is thinner and feels different than standard plush household towels.

FAQs
Is this towel machine washable?
Yes, the Airlite towel is machine washable. We recommend washing in cold or warm water and avoiding fabric softeners.
How do I attach the towel to my pack?
You can use the buttoned loop to secure the towel to a daisy chain or compression strap on your backpack for drying on the go.
Does it come with a storage case?
Yes, it includes a matching 15D nylon stuff sack that can be clipped to the towel itself.
How much water can the towel hold?
The towel is capable of absorbing up to three times its own weight in water.
Can I use it for swimming at the beach?
While it works, be aware that sand can get trapped in the microfiber material. Rinse thoroughly after beach use.
Troubleshooting
Towel feels like it is not absorbing water
This is often caused by fabric softener buildup. Wash the towel again without fabric softeners to restore its natural absorbency.
Towel has developed an odor
Ensure the towel is fully dried before storing. If an odor persists, machine wash it on a warm cycle and hang it in direct sunlight to help neutralize bacteria.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the towel for its first use, machine wash it separately to ensure any manufacturing residue is removed. When traveling, ensure the towel is clean and dry before storing it in the provided 15D nylon stuff sack to prevent odors. The towel is machine washable; use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the microfiber and reduce its ability to absorb water. Always hang the towel to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before packing it away for extended periods.
