The Sea to Summit Pocket Towel is an ultra-light, quick-drying travel towel that absorbs more than three times its own weight in water while weighing only 2.05 oz, making it the most packable towel in the Sea to Summit range. Measuring 31.5 x 15.7 inches, it is sized to dry your hands, face and body after a swim or wash yet crushes down small enough to disappear into a jacket pocket or the corner of a daypack.
Made from 100 percent recycled polyester microfiber, this camping towel pairs a silky-soft feel with fast turnaround between uses, so it is dry and ready again quickly instead of staying clammy in your bag. It is hand-picked by our gear specialists for backpackers, travelers, swimmers and gym-goers who want maximum drying power from the lightest, smallest towel they can carry.
Who should pack the Pocket Towel?
This towel is a natural fit for backpackers and thru-hikers counting every ounce, travelers packing carry-on only, and swimmers, paddlers or gym-goers who want a compact towel that dries fast between sessions. Because it packs so small and weighs so little, it also works well as a backup towel for day trips, festivals and travel emergencies. Anyone who has hauled a heavy cotton towel that never quite dries will appreciate the lighter, faster alternative.
What fabric is the Pocket Towel made from?
The Pocket Towel is woven from 100 percent recycled polyester microfiber, a technical fabric chosen for its high absorbency and rapid drying. The microfiber structure pulls in more than three times its own weight in water, then releases it quickly so the towel is ready to use again sooner than natural fibers. A woven loop is stitched in for hanging, letting you air it out fully rather than balling it up wet, which keeps odor down over long trips.
How do you dry the Pocket Towel after use?
To get the best performance, wring the towel firmly after use, then hang it from the woven loop to finish drying in open air. Its 2.05 oz weight and small folded size mean it stows in a jacket pocket, hip belt or the top of a pack. The recycled microfiber is easy to launder and quick to dry after washing, so it is simple to keep fresh across back-to-back travel days without waiting long for it to be usable again.

Questions & answers
Pocket Towel FAQ
How absorbent is the Sea to Summit Pocket Towel?
It absorbs more than three times its own weight in water. Despite weighing only 2.05 oz, the recycled microfiber pulls in enough moisture to dry your whole body, then wrings out and re-absorbs quickly for repeated use during a swim or wash.
How much does the Pocket Towel weigh?
It weighs just 2.05 oz. That makes it the smallest and most packable towel in the Sea to Summit range, light enough to carry as a backup or primary towel without adding meaningful weight to a backpack or carry-on bag.
Does the towel dry quickly between uses?
Yes, it is fast-drying by design. The microfiber composition releases moisture rapidly, so the towel turns around quickly between uses and does not stay damp or clammy in your pack, which also helps keep odor down on multi-day trips.
What size is the Sea to Summit Pocket Towel?
It measures 31.5 x 15.7 inches. That is large enough to dry your hands, face and body after a swim or shower, yet the towel still folds down small enough to slip into a jacket pocket or the corner of a daypack.
What is the towel made of?
It is made from 100 percent recycled polyester microfiber. The recycled fabric is a lower-impact material choice and delivers the towel's high absorbency, quick drying and silky-soft feel, while a woven loop is included for convenient hanging and air-drying.
