FAQs
Is this towel machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend cold water and avoiding fabric softeners.
Can I use this towel for swimming?
While it works for wiping off, its primary design is for moisture-wicking during workouts, so it may not be as absorbent as a dedicated beach towel.
What is the weight of the towel?
The towel is made from 155gsm fabric, making it lightweight and portable.
Does it come in other colors?
This specific guide covers the Ice Grey variant.
Is the material soft?
The polyester material is designed for functional performance rather than plushness, offering a smooth, technical feel.
Troubleshooting
Towel feels less absorbent after repeated use
Wash the towel with a cup of white vinegar added to the rinse cycle to strip away fabric softener or detergent buildup.
Edges show minor pilling
Avoid washing with abrasive items like zippers or Velcro, which can pull at the polyester weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this towel; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from the packaging. To maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the synthetic fibers and reduce the towel's ability to wick moisture over time. For best results, air dry the towel; if machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the overlock stitching. The neutral Ice Grey color makes it compatible with any brand of gym wear.
