The SoftFibre travel towel is the original compact travel towel absorbing 9 times its own weight in water and drying 8 times faster than a conventional towel. These towels are made from recycled bottles. Not only are they as soft, durable and absorbent as the original towel, they're also fully recyclable. Each towel is treated with Polygiene permanent odour control to keep it feeling and smelling fresh.
