Wicking Towels
Featured in dozens of major magazine gear reviews such as Snews News, Backpacker Magazine, Practical Sailor, GearTrends.com, Camping Life, Boating Magazine, and Chicago Tribune Travel, our towels have been getting a lot of publicity.
A recent independent review comes from AboutSwimming.com. Mat Leubbers, one of the foremost authorities on swimming said "this is five-star swim gear..."
How does it work?
The lightweight moisture-management fabric pulls the water from your skin. When the moisture reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to evaporate very quickly.
For competitive swimmers, it's a must! Being in and out of the pool, you need something that will dry you off, and then dry out very quickly. It's made with a special technology that discourages bacterial growth so your towel won't get that "smell" that cotton towels generate. This anti-microbial technology is virtually Permanent, it doesn't wash out! It also boasts SPF sun protection anywhere from 15-40, depending on color (the darker the color, the higher the SPF). This fabric dries 3 times faster than cotton, yet it is so lightweight it looks almost sheer. Very soft against the skin, but it's a hardworking fabric.
The towels are made with a special style of high tech stretch fabric (the best wicking fabric available). It kills bacteria because it contains Silver in the fiber. Silver is one of the best antimicrobials known... and it's natural!! Many hospitals use Silver in bandaging for this very reason. The silver in our towels does not wash out, unlike other chemical antibacterial treatments. Our towels machine wash beautifully! They can also be machine dried, or hung to dry.

Features
- The Discovery Trekking Sport & Travel Towel could more accurately be described as the “Un-towel”.
- Normally one expects a really great towel to be thick and absorbent. The Discovery Trekking towel wicks moisture from the skin, and dries 4 times faster than other towels. It does not “absorb” water …instead it pulls moisture around the fibers and across the surface of the fabric where it quickly evaporates. The fabric contains Silver, one of the best antimicrobials. Silver discourages bacterial growth and a result it doesn’t get the moldy or musty smell associated with damp towels. They are very lightweight and easy to pack.
- These towels are made in North America by Discovery Trekking Outfitters Ltd., using Polartec® Powerdry® fabric. This style offers approx. 40 SPF sun protection. Consequently, the towels make great beach or pool cover-ups. The larger sizes do double-duty as travel blankets. Discovery Trekking towels have been featured in dozens of major magazine gear reviews, and are in high demand by swimmers, sailors, travelers, backpackers, campers, and sports enthusiasts.
