Whether you’re going to the pool or to a beach halfway around the world, chances are a towel is taking up too much room in your bag. Even the largest Speedo Teamster swim bag can easily be overrun by bulky cotton towels.
On the other end of the towel spectrum you’ll find the chamois. Everyone would be using a chamois towel by now if they were pleasant to use, but in reality most compact sports towels are either too small or too uncomfortable on the skin.
Although your towel not the most critical piece of swimming gear you own, it is one that you use every time. So if your towel is too bulky, too small or just uncomfortable, why not improve it?

Now there’s a new option when it comes to towelling off. A Canadian company, Snappy Towels Inc, has made it their mission to create “the world’s most fun and useful towels” and a better way to get dry.
Rows of smooth snap fasteners along the sides of each Snappy Towel allow them to be worn and hung in many convenient ways, such as when changing.
Aside from their remarkable portability, Snappy Towels can do many other things that traditional cotton towels or chamois can’t do thanks to the rows of smooth snap fasteners along the sides of each Snappy Towel.
Snappy Towels can be quickly fastened around your shoulders or waist, making for a handy cover-up or wrap, or a convenient way to keep your towel on even when your hands are full. This is helpful for kids, too, whether they’re getting changed or just keeping warm after a swim.
Keep your towel on even when your hands are full. Great for changing after a swim, surf, paddle or when in a boat.
Snappy Towels also make a great hair wrap, quickly absorbing excess water and reducing the need for blow drying. Snappy Towels are used by men as a “shaving cape” to catch beard clippings at home for a no-mess beard trim, much like the cape at a barber shop, but for your face.

Snappy Towels Inc launched their Swim Travel Towel last December and were included in the Swimfluence monthly subscription box for swimmers just before Christmas. Snappy Towels is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for a kid’s beach towel and travel towel, and have another larger towel coming out this spring. The Large Travel Beach Towel is also very portable and works as a changing cover for any waist or bust size from 27” to 44” and also doubles as a beach bag for times when your tote is full or not necessary.
Comfortable, portable, wearable: a swim towel you won’t carry but will take everywhere.

These are awesome!
I have 3 and love them!
Sweet towel. I use mine for stand up paddle boarding as well. It’s never been easier to get out of my wetsuit by the car!
