Bandana Towel: Paisley Iron Ore

Two ounces is nothing, so I almost forgot it was in my daypack until I needed a quick dry-off after a spontaneous creek stop. The paisley pattern looks even better in person, and the recycled material feels sturdy without being rough. Handy little square, glad I tossed it in.

It’s surprisingly absorbent for something so thin—I dried off after a hike and it handled the job perfectly. The paisley print hides dirt well, so it still looks clean after a day of use.

I didn’t even notice it in my daypack until I needed it, and that two-ounce weight is the real deal—the paisley pattern hides beach sand surprisingly well. It’s already become my go-to for quick dry-offs after a swim.
