Gear Aid Microfiber Towel XL OD Green

The Gear Aid Microfiber Towel XL is a 35 x 62 in quick-dry towel in OD green that packs down to roughly 8 x 3 x 4 in inside its included mesh bag. The microfiber polyester holds about 5 times its weight in water, then wrings out and air-dries far faster than cotton, so one towel covers a whole weekend without going sour in your pack.

A SILVADUR silver-ion treatment inhibits the odor-causing bacteria that make a damp towel funky between washes. The micro-suede face is soft and dense, so it wipes down skin, gear, and dishes without shredding lint everywhere. Sewn grommets let you tie it off as a sunshade, ground cover, or wind block at camp, and the mesh stuff bag has a loop for hang-drying and a pocket for small items.

This is the XL of the line, sized as a full body towel rather than a hand cloth. Machine wash it and skip the fabric softener, which coats the fibers and kills the absorbency. Ships as the towel plus its mesh storage bag.
