FAQs
How absorbent is the Sea to Summit Pocket Towel?
The towel is made from DRY+ fabric which can absorb up to three times its weight in water, making it highly effective for drying.
How long does it take to dry?
Due to its microfiber construction, it dries significantly faster than a standard cotton towel, often in a matter of hours depending on conditions.
What are the dimensions of the X-Large towel?
The X-Large towel measures 59.1 x 29.5 inches (150 x 75 cm).
How small does it pack down?
The X-Large towel packs down to approximately 7.9 x 3.1 x 2.0 inches (20 x 8 x 5 cm) when stored in its case.
Can I use fabric softener when washing it?
No, it is strongly recommended to avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the microfiber and reduce absorbency and drying performance.
Is the storage case included?
Yes, the towel comes with a molded EVA case for easy and compact packing.
What is the towel made of?
It is made from silky, durable, recycled polyester DRY+ fabric.
Troubleshooting
Towel is not drying as quickly as expected.
Ensure the towel is fully exposed to air. If using the press-stud tab, make sure it is not bundled up. Check that no fabric softener was used in washing, as this can reduce absorbency and drying speed.
Towel has developed an odor.
Wash the towel immediately with liquid detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Ensure it is completely dry before storing. Airing it out in sunlight can also help.
Towel is not absorbing water effectively.
The microfiber may be clogged with soap residue or oils. Wash it thoroughly with liquid detergent and rinse well. Avoid fabric softeners.
Storage case is difficult to close.
Ensure the towel is completely dry and folded as compactly as possible before placing it in the case. Gently press down while closing the case.
