What makes a towel quick drying?

There are several things to look for if you want a faster drying towel:

• Choose a lighter towel. A thick, heavy towel has more yarn to dry, so choose a lower GSM towel such as the towels in our Everyday Towel Bale. These have a 420 GSM which is light enough to dry out quickly.
• Choose a zero-twist towel. Because the yarn in these towels isn't twisted, water can evaporate more easily, helping the towel dry more easily but keeping it fluffy enough to feel soft on your skin.
• Look out for Turkish or hammam-style towels. These dry in a flash and are perfect for trips to the gym or during the summer when you don't want to turn your heated towel rail or radiators on. Our Pool Towels are a luxurious twist on the traditional hammam towel. One side is flat-woven and the other side has traditional terry towelling. This mean's they're softer than a typical hammam towel but much faster drying than a regular terry towel; perfect for anyone who struggles to air their towel after using it.
• Choose a towel that includes polyester in the fabric mix as this helps the towel dry more quickly. Our Quick Dry towel range is ideal for busy households and the gym.
