Why are Microfiber Towels better for Travel?

Microfiber is a man made product that is very absorbent. It is very soft, long lasting and durable.

Cleaning cloths and chamois that you use for drying motor vehicles are made of microfiber because of their exceptional ability to absorb water really well. Microfiber towels hold several times their own weight in water.

As well as being extra absorbent, microfiber towels dry 3 times faster than cotton. This is a bonus for any travelling or while on holidays. You can easily use or wash a microfiber towel at night, hang it out and expect it to be dry the next morning. 

Sand or grass doesn't stick to this towel, and it is very easy to shake it off after using it.

The downside? Although Microfiber towels are very soft, they do lack that full fluffiness of cotton towels.

The Upside? Less bulky - this is a huge plus when traveling.

How to take care of your Microfiber Towel

The best way to keep these towels looking and feeling good for longer is to wash it after each use or trip.

It's fine to be washed in a washing machine and then hang it out to dry. This will help to retain the natural odor resistant nature of microfiber.

However, if you need to tumble dry, you can as long as the Dryer is on a low heat setting.

The Conclusion

SeaView Towel

By far the best towel when traveling is a microfiber towel. These are compact when folded, and have the anti-bacterial properties that help out if washing it everyday is out of the question.

Although microfiber towels aren't as fluffy as a regular towel, they are still very soft and absorbent. 

The SeaView180 Akumal Microfiber towel is a quality towel that will easily last more than one season, and provides great value for money.
