Thanks to Roger Caffin (Australia) for his photo taken in the Swiss Alps. Roger tested our towel for the Backpack Geartest group.

The Exteme "Mini" makes a great hand towel and doubles as a sun-protective bandana.

Thanks to Active Planet Travels for this photo. They loved the towel (shown here in Olive Brown), and recommend it for camping and backpacking.

Our "EXTREME" ULTRA LIGHT backpacking towel is a must-have for serious backpackers. Featured in BACKPACKER magazine's most recent "Essential Gear Guide", you know it must be good!

The Extreme Ultralight is 34" x 28" and weighs under 3 ounces, so you can still carry a towel large enough for swimming or bathing! These pack into very small spaces.

If you are one of those "crazy" minimalists, we make an even smaller version below. Weighing approx. 1.3 oz, it's approx. 19" square, and serves as towel, neck, or headgear. We've been told you can even strain your camp-coffee through it. Now that's versatile!

NEW....NEW...NEW... We are now offering our Extreme Ultralite, in a larger size. Now you can get a full-size 34" x 58" large Extreme towel, as well as the regular 34" x 28" and 19" x 19" mini, in our best-seling silky extreme fabric. As an introductory offer, we are offering this new large style on sale, for just $24.95. Olive Brown, only.

We are often asked how much space our towels take up. We can offer the following comparisons, however keep in mind that even when you know the dimensions you can squish them down much smaller! There is not a lot of difference in volume, although the Extreme takes a bit less...but there is significant difference in weight between Ultra Fast-Dry and Extreme Ultralite styles.

58" x 34" (Our largest size) Ultra Fast-Dry 7"x3"x3" Extreme Ultralite 7"x2.5"x2.5" (approx. 288 grams vs. approx. 162 grams for Extreme)

34" x 28" (Typical Backpackers choice) Ultra Fast-Dry 7"x2.5"x2.5" Extreme Utralite 7"x2"x2" (approx. 139 grams vs. approx. 98 grams or less for Extreme)
