Description
The Trail Rag is an ultralight towel made by Zpacks and Glacial Gear from a 180 gsm merino wool blend, sized for quick jobs on the trail rather than a full-body dry-off after a swim. It works for wiping sweat and dirt off skin or gear, and merino's grip and heat resistance also let it double as a pot holder when lifting a hot pot off the stove.
A loop lets it clip to the outside of a pack, so it can dry in the sun while you walk instead of taking up space inside. Merino resists odour better than synthetic towels over multiple days of use, but at this size it won't replace a full bath towel for basecamp or hostel stops.
