Sea to Summit Wilderness Wipes Compact

The Sea to Summit Wilderness Wipes Compact address a different situation than the soap leaves in the same line — twelve extra-thick viscose wipes, 16 × 20 cm, meant for freshening up with no water source at hand, for the moments when there's simply nothing to wash with. That's also why this pre-moistened pack is considerably heavier, 93 g, than the 17 g soap leaves for a roughly comparable number of uses. Aloe vera and vitamin E are aimed at skin comfort with repeated use over multi-day trips, when skin is exposed to sweat, dust and sunscreen. A pH-balanced formula reduces irritation risk, which matters for a product applied directly to skin with no rinsing. The resealable packet keeps the remaining wipes from drying out between uses, a common failure point in cheaper packs without a proper closure. The general downside of wet wipes is that used ones have to be packed out, since unlike soap they don't dissolve in water. This is more a hygiene supplement than a substitute for an actual wash.
