The Kukuna® Travel Towel
The Ultra-Lightweight Adventure Essential: Pack Small. Move Fast. Dry Instantly
Meet the ultimate 'go-anywhere' companion. The Kukuna® Travel Towel is engineered for those who live life out of a backpack, a van, or a carry-on. At a generous 160cm x 80cm, it offers full-body coverage, yet weighs just 280g and rolls down to the size of a water bottle. Whether you're drying off after a summit swim or wiping down gear on a multi-day trek, this towel is built to handle the road.
Built For Your Mission
The Weekend Explorer & Hiker: Stop carrying heavy, damp cotton. This towel is featherlight and clips to the outside of your pack with a built-in hanging loop, drying as you hike so it’s fresh for your next dip.
The Van-Lifer & Surfer: Space is a premium. Our microfibre tech is sand-resistant and odour-resistant, meaning no more "wet dog" smells in the van and no sand in the bed.
The Thoughtful Gift: Looking for a gift that won't sit on a shelf? This is the ultimate 'useful-but-premium' gift for the traveller in your life. It’s a practical, high-performance essential that they’ll actually use on every trip.
Pro Tip: Dry While You Move
Don’t let a wet towel slow down your departure. Use the integrated Hanging Loop to snap the towel to the back of your backpack or the grab handle in your van. The high-surface-area microfibre uses ambient airflow to dry in record time, ensuring your kit is bone-dry by the time you reach your next destination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much space will this save in my luggage?
A: It takes up roughly 70% less space than a traditional towel. For Frequent Travellers, this means more room for gear and less weight for long-haul layovers or carry-on-only trips.
Q: Is it big enough to use as a beach towel?
A: Absolutely. At 160cm long, it’s a full-size towel. It’s the perfect multipurpose product—use it as a beach wrap, a gym towel, a yoga mat cover, or even an emergency blanket.
Q: How does it stay 'odour-resistant'?
A: Cotton traps bacteria in its hollow fibres, which causes that damp smell. Our Antibacterial microfibre prevents bacteria from taking hold. For Hostel Travellers and Campers, this is a game-changer - your towel stays fresh even if you have to pack it away slightly damp.
Q: Does the sand really shake off?
A: Yes. Unlike loop-stitch towels that "hook" onto sand, our flat-weave microfibre lets sand slide right off. Give it one shake and your towel is clean before it goes back in your bag.
Q: Why is this a great gift for explorers?
A: It’s a 'Gear Essential.' Most people don't realise how much a high-quality travel towel improves a trip until they have one. It feels premium, comes in a dedicated case, and is a thoughtful, practical gift that lasts for years of adventure.
Q: Can I put it in the dryer?
A: We recommend air-drying (it doesn't take long!), but you can tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners, as they clog the microfibres and reduce the "Fast-Dry" performance.
