Gym and Sports Towels: What to Pack for Training

A well-packed training bag starts with knowing what each item is for. Gym and sports towels can serve different purposes during a workout, on the golf course and after swimming. Choose the towel around your routine, rather than expecting one small accessory to do every job.

A compact towel for the training bag

The Swimdry Sports & Gym Towel measures 80 × 40 cm and includes a zipped compartment for small essentials. Its compact format suits a training bag when you want a towel close at hand during your session.

Follow your gym’s hygiene rules and keep your towel for your own use. If your session also includes a shower or swim, check whether you want a separate towel with more coverage.

A cooling accessory has a different purpose

The Chillax Cooling Towel uses a wet, wring and snap routine. Choose it for that cooling use and follow its instructions. For drying off, compare the Sports towel or a larger towel suited to the coverage you need.

Add the right option for your activity

For a gym session followed by swimming, explore Sea Breeze Plus. For golf, the Swimdry Golf Towel clips to your bag for wiping hands, clubs and grips. Our towel comparison guide puts the different uses side by side.

Before and after your session

• Pack a clean, dry towel and check that you have selected the right size for the session.
• Keep damp items separate from belongings you want to keep dry on the journey home.
• Unpack your towel afterwards, follow its care label and let it dry fully before storing it.
