On multi-day trekking tours through untouched landscapes sometimes you come across a beautiful lake or river and you just have to jump in for a swim or even an evening wash! If you can't hang around to dry after your dip, you can use a travel towel. Microfibre towels are perfect for this, they can be packed up small, can absorb a lot of moisture, are very soft, is often antibacterial and it dries very quickly. This category also includes big swim towels for days at the beach as well as towel-robes for swimming events where you are in and out of the water, or just around the house!
