What is the purpose/benefit of a Hammam Towel?

Light and fresh, a hammam-style towel is as summary as towels can get! Despite a lack of fluffiness these towels absorb water in a flash and dry out just as quickly. They're ideal for summer months when you don't want to switch your heated towel rails on to dry out your towels. They pack down into a really small space, making them the perfect addition to your gym bag or swim kit and are ideal holiday companions - taking up less space in your suitcase than a pair of jeans!
