comuting… towels ?
-
I shower at work each morning but you have to hang towels on tiny hooks on a small rail. Using cotton towels and they get a bit “damp smelly” after a day or two as they are not drying out properly. Any good sports towels out there ? Looking at the antibacterial travel towels could be good ?
Posted 3 years agoI have a similar problem so ended up taking a coat hanger into work and now just spread the damp towel out on the horizontal bar of the coat hanger. I also took a flannel in and use that to get myself 90% dry first…it’s smaller and less weight to cart a flannel back and forth…
Posted 3 years agoI use a small hand towel and change it regularly. I have a sports /and camping towel but not nice to use. Better to just change the towel regularly and hang out to dry as much as possible.

Dear but very good. Way better than cheaper ones.

Posted 3 years agoLifeventure SoftFibre towel is what I used at work.
Unfortunately it was stolen from the changing rooms by some scrote – I replaced it with a Lifeventure HydroFibre which is terrible – very thin and absorbs a lot of water, but it just feels like you’re drying with a cold damp towel. No need for that level of portability for commuting…

Baby wipes are good as well for a brisk spruce up.Lifeventure ones are good. Got mine in Halfords, great to stick in the rucksack when you need to take it home – they do need washing occasionally!

Posted 3 years agoDecathlon sport towel here which is pretty good as these things go. It’s huge too so if space is a premium you could cut it into 2 or even 3
Posted 3 years agoDecathlon soft microfibre towel. Prefer it to the shorter pile microfibre towels. Different sizes are available.

Posted 3 years agoI’ve rigged up a cunning hanging rail under my desk which seems to get things dry quicker than hanging from a hook.
