Here are a few things people always ask:
MicroTerry™ has a looped pile — the same structure as a traditional terry cloth towel — which makes it feel softer and more familiar. MicroSuede has a tightly woven flat surface that makes it lighter and faster-drying. If you want the plushest feel, go MicroTerry™. If you want to minimize pack weight, go MicroSuede. Both are made from recycled materials and both dry significantly faster than cotton.
The MicroSuede towels (Ultralight, Fitness, Bandana, Tiny, Changing Poncho) have a tight, smooth weave that sand has a hard time clinging to — a quick shake gets most of it off. MicroTerry's looped texture is more likely to hold onto sand. If you spend a lot of time on sandy beaches and hate the cleanup, MicroSuede is the better call.
Yes — this is the most common misconception about microfiber towels. Nomadix towels are highly absorbent; the fibers are engineered to pull water away from skin quickly and hold it until you wring or hang the towel to dry. MicroTerry™ in particular is designed to feel and perform as close to a traditional towel as possible.
It depends on how you travel. For ultralight packing — backpacking, hostels, carry-on only — the Ultralight Towel (8 oz, packs to 5" × 2") is the go-to. For trips where you want something more substantial, the Original Towel gives you full beach-towel size at 16 oz. If you prioritize natural fibers, the Organic Travel Towel offers organic cotton softness in a packable format.

Machine wash cold, tumble dry low or air dry. Avoid fabric softener — it clogs the microfiber and reduces absorbency over time. Nomadix towels are designed to last hundreds of washes while maintaining performance.
Nomadix towels are designed to hold their color through hundreds of washes. To keep prints looking their best: machine wash cold, tumble dry low or air dry, and skip the fabric softener. Avoid bleach and high heat, both of which can break down any fabric over time. Many of our customers have had their towels for years with no noticeable fading.
Yes — all MicroTerry and MicroSuede towels are made from 100% recycled materials. The Organic Cotton line is made from 100% organic cotton that is Fair Trade Certified™, meaning the farmers and workers behind the fabric are paid fairly and work in safe conditions. Nomadix is also a 1% for the Planet member.
