Ideal for traveling – the functional towel
When traveling, space is always limited and you want to save on weight. That's why microfiber towels exist! The biggest advantage of a functional towel is its low weight, small pack size, and ability to dry quickly. Other names for functional towels include microfiber towels, travel towels, microfiber bath towels, and trekking towels. These are always towels made of microfiber. Towels are usually made of cotton. However, these are comparatively heavy and take up a lot of space.
Microfiber dries faster than cotton
Cotton terry towels are unbeatable in the bathroom! They are cozy and soft and absorb a lot of moisture thanks to their special loop structure. But they also take a long time to dry. This is usually not a problem at home, but it certainly is when traveling! Anyone who has ever packed a damp terry towel in their bag or suitcase knows that the moisture seeps through everything else that has been packed nearby.
Microfiber, on the other hand, dries very quickly. If the functional towel can dry outdoors, it is often completely dry after just 30 minutes. Cotton terry cloth cannot compete with this. A large cotton bath towel can take hours to dry completely. A cotton thread is three times as thick as a microfiber thread, which is why the fine thread dries much faster, even when several threads are spun into a yarn.
Take it easy, take microfiber
Transa offers a wide range of microfiber towels. From bath towels to small microfiber hand towels – they are all much lighter than comparable cotton towels. Especially when weight is an important factor when traveling – hiking, motorcycling, or cycling – you will pay attention to every gram. This is particularly easy with functional microfiber towels. But pay attention to the different qualities! Even microfiber towels of the same size can vary greatly in weight. As is often the case, the lighter towels also cost more.
The most important advantages at a glance
A functional towel or microfiber towel is:
- dries very quickly
- much lighter than a cotton towel
- significantly flatter than a cotton towel
- silky soft
Save space with a functional towel
A classic cotton towel is made of terry cloth, a fabric with many small loops of thread. These loops increase the surface area and allow the towel to absorb significantly more moisture than a smooth cotton fabric. However, this high use of material also increases the weight of the towel enormously. This has a negative effect when traveling.
A functional microfiber towel, on the other hand, is usually flat woven and yet absorbs four to six times its weight in moisture. This is an invaluable advantage when you are carrying your own luggage. The functional towel can be folded completely flat and often comes with a matching travel bag so that the towel can be transported safely when traveling. The space you save with such a great functional towel can be filled with other useful items.

From a hygienic point of view, microfiber towels are clearly superior to cotton towels. Because they dry so quickly, bacteria and microorganisms have little time to multiply. A travel towel can therefore easily last a fortnight's trip without needing to be washed. There are many advantages to using a functional towel when traveling. You won't want to be without one when you're on the go.
