Towel Buying Guide

Gear for Everywhere

We believe in fewer, better. That’s why all of Nomadix's towels are made from certified post-consumer recycled materials, built for performance, and designed to go anywhere. But with two signature fabrics—MicroTerry™ and MicroSuede—how do you know which one’s right for you? This guide breaks it down. Whether you’re chasing waves, stretching into a yoga flow, or packing light for your next flight, there’s a Nomadix towel to match.

MicroTerry™ Towels

Our foundational fabric, MicroTerry™ starts with recycled plastic bottles spun into high-performance yarn, then woven into ultra-fine loops that quickly absorb moisture, resist sand and dirt, and dry fast.

Original Towel

The Original Towel is the one that started it all—perfect for the beach, yoga, travel, and everyday use. Made from recycled materials and powered by our MicroTerry™ fabric, it offers a plush feel without the bulk, packs small, dries fast, and stands up to sand, sweat, and everything in between.

"Love the Ultralight! Just got back from a 2 week trip to Ecuador and these towels were super stars. Absorbent, dry quickly (have a built-in loop for hanging), no funky smell, and take up little room. Love the recycled content for the planet too."
