Osmo
£8.99
Osmo is a lightweight and compact microfibre travel towel ideal for multi-day backpacking or bikepacking adventures where space is a premium - or stuffed in your bag ready for spontaneous mid-hike dips. Choose the Regular size for drying off on ultralight trips or the Large for extra coverage (and preserving your modesty) when changing outdoors.
- Absorbs up to 4x its weight and dries off rapidly
- Around one third the weight of a regular towel for its size
- Antibacterial treatment to reduce odours
The superfine polyester-nylon blend fabric is soft and comfortable against the skin and is around 1/3rd of the weight of a regular towel of the same size. Capable of absorbing up to 4 times its weight and drying out rapidly after use; no more packing away wet towels in your bag when it's time to move camp in the morning. Plus, an antibacterial treatment means no lingering odours even after multiple uses on longer trips.
The built in loop is ideal for hanging up your towel in campsite or hostel showers - or a nearby branch if you're bathing al fresco! And it's great for clipping to the outside of your pack to let it dry off on the move. Osmo comes with a handy mesh travel bag too, so you can store it neatly when not in use.
Simple and effective. A lightweight kit list essential.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
