Verdict: : A super absorbent and quick-drying microtowel that packs down small, doesn’t smell, and is quite well priced!
I bought the Lifeventure microtowel for backpacking and remote travel where I’d be far away from a hotel, and now it goes everywhere with me when travelling to remote places!
It’s a highly absorbent and lightweight towel designed for travellers, hikers, vanlifers, nomads, slomads, and campers – but generally useful for anyone that needs a towel to pack down small and dry almost anywhere.
It is made of a microfiber material that is soft, durable, and quick-drying, and is designed with an antibacterial coating that prevents the growth of bacteria and funny smells, ensuring that it remains fresh and clean for longer than your usual cheap cotton one. Whether you're backpacking through Europe or camping in the wilderness in the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog from what I understand), the Lifeventure microtowel is a great addition to your gear collection.
When I rowed across the Atlantic in 2017, I wore these with the Vivobarefoot Ultra III aqua shoes listed below and had nice, dry feet even when it’s cold (and it does get cold at night when you first start in Europe).
Nowadays, I still use the same pair for mountain biking, riding my motorbike (to keep my feet dry), but not for hiking as they cause my feet to sweat excessively when walking in them (they’re really good at retaining warmth but not very breathable given they’re designed to keep your feet dry).
