Towel Buying Guide
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.
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.

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.
Smaller size, big performance. Use the Mini Towel to keep sweat at bay on the golf links or hang across your bike bars for spin class. Super lightweight and won't weigh down your gym bag.
Designed to go rep for rep with you, the Fitness Towel keeps up with your active lifestyle, whether on the court, at the gym, or playing your favorite sport. This sweat towel wicks four times its weight, dries four times faster, and resists odor.
