Why Choose a Microfibre Towel?
Written by Catherine Morris /
If you are used to using cotton beach towels, you may never have thought about using a different type of towel. However, thanks to advances in fabric technology, microfibre towels have some clear advantages over their traditional cotton counterparts:
- They absorb more water - so can dry you more effectively (and quicker). In fact, our towel absorbs four times more water than a standard towel, and yet is half the weight despite being the same size.
- They dry faster – so you don’t have heavy soggy towels hanging around in the back of the car or on the washing line.
- They take up less space & are lighter – so are much easier to pack either for adventures or family trips, as well as taking up less space in the washing machine.
- They can be re-used multiple times- without odour or hygiene issues due to the anti-bacterial treatment.
How does Microfibre technology work?
Microfibre towelling has a greater number of fibres that are smaller in size than a cotton towel. That means the fibres can absorb and release water easier than conventional towels – think of the saying ‘Many hands make light work’ – meaning they not only absorb more water but also dry quicker too.
