The Best Packable Travel Towels

Ebony Roberts

By Ebony Roberts

We love a plush, thirsty bath towel , but a campsite or suitcase just isn’t the place for one—there, we want a quick-drying, packable travel towel.

After putting 20 such towels through 60 hours of testing—including an intense day of sand and surf at the beach—we’ve concluded the PackTowl Personal offers the best balance of drying time, packability, and odor resistance without compromising comfort and design.

A good option for nearly every towel-related scenario, it’s lightweight, extra-large, and supersoft, making it usable for both car camping and travel into the backcountry.

PackTowl Luxe

A plush, comfortable towel.

Good for car camping, day trips, and hanging at the beach, this towel is made of an incredibly soft fabric that also repels dirt.

Scoring well in nearly every performance category, the PackTowl Personal towel consistently surprised us with its ability to handle the elements. It has an antibacterial treatment to help prevent odor, the “body” size (25 by 54 inches) is large enough to wrap around most folks, and it feels soft against the skin. It’s made of a tear-resistant fabric and was the best towel we tested at absorbing water and repelling dirt. Better still, sand from the beach remained on the towel’s surface so it was easy to shake off, leaving the towel clean after multiple uses. Its drying time was faster than most of the towels we tested and it packs down to a small size in a zippered breathable pouch, making it convenient for travel or camping.

The Rainleaf Microfiber Towel was nearly identical in design to many of the pricier models and scored just as well in our field tests. The only downsides are that its size large is smaller than most other large towels we tested, and it has lighter-feeling fabric. It didn’t handle our day at the beach quite as well and took a little longer to dry, but otherwise it’s comparable in comfort and packability. And, because it’s treated with an antibacterial coating—something not standard on budget (or even some pricey) towels—it passed our smell test with a perfect score. At just a fraction of the price of our top choice, it’s a good pick if you’re the kind of person who goes camping a few times a year and needs something affordable that works well.

If packing your towel down into a tiny space isn’t a concern for you, the PackTowl Luxe is about as comfortable as a towel can get. Although it does take up a bit more room and takes significantly longer to dry, its “body” size has the same dimensions as our top pick but has a plusher feel against the skin. Unlike similar big and luxurious camp towels, it didn’t smell after being put away wet. It absorbed water off the skin without trapping in the dirt and sand, which left it surprisingly clean for a towel with such a high pile. As it was easy to shake off, we enjoyed having it as a wrap and beach blanket, too.

The research

Why you should trust us, who this is for, how we picked, how we tested, our pick: packtowl personal, how the packtowl has held up, flaws but not dealbreakers, an inexpensive towel that works fine: rainleaf microfiber towel, a plush, comfortable towel: packtowl luxe, microfibers and the environment, the competition, care and maintenance.

We spoke with three experts to get their takes on what we should look for in a good towel. Mark Knight, a product designer currently with Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) , has designed a number of outdoor products, including packable towels, and gave us a breakdown on what he considers to be important when creating products like these.

We spoke via email with Georgia Newsome, owner and operator of Coastal Bliss Adventures , who has worked as a backpacking, camping, and canoeing guide for the past 15 years.

And we spoke with Craig Oliver, product manager for health and safety at MEC. He was able to tell us what’s important from a consumer perspective. In addition to these interviews, we read a number of online reviews, pored over camping and backpacking forums, researched microfiber fabrics, and then selected and tested the towels we think cover most activities to determine which one was best overall.

Why doesn’t a regular, everyday cotton towel cut it for most outdoor activities? Knight offered us five reasons your cotton towel isn’t ideal: it’s too big, too heavy, might get damaged or stained, doesn’t get washed at the same frequency it would at home, therefore causing it to smell, and lastly, it’s not always used in the same manner as it would be at home. He added, “As a travel towel, there is also the added functional requirement of being quick-dry. When traveling, you can move around a lot, and a packed wet towel generally means a stinky towel.”

Packable towels are usually made from microfiber , although a few of the ones we tested are made from other materials (which didn’t end up performing as well). These materials are typically a blend of polyester and polyamide, aka nylon, and depending on the blend will produce a towel that feels more suede-like and slick to one that feels more plush like your average cotton towel. There are also packable towels made of nanofabric, which is composed of tiny nanoscopic fibers woven together—think the width of a human hair (or even smaller)—to create a fabric that is incredibly lightweight and small. Though they do the trick, nanofiber towels tend to have a slicker surface, which means they don’t feel much like the towel you’re used to.

According to Oliver, the most popular camp towel size is roughly equivalent to a standard household bath towel—about 26 by 52 inches after washing. Some towels were slightly smaller or larger, but we tried to stay within what would seem like regulation size for most people.

All the experts we talked to shared the opinion that the type of towel you’ll want to purchase depends on the activity you’re using it for. For backpacking or kayaking trips, Newsome told us that “lightweight, small packability and quick drying are the most important factors.” For car camping or other adventures, where weight isn’t an issue, she opts for a larger microfiber towel, and one with an antimicrobial coating, “which means for those longer road trips and tours this towel stays fresh smelling.” Knight’s opinion aligned with Newsome’s: “Some of the lightest towels don’t feel that great against your skin, but the weight means you will actually bring it in your backpack when on a long hike. If you are traveling around the world, weight might not be your primary concern, but comfort will factor highly, as you will be using the towel each day—unless you are a soap dodger ! So, a softer, slightly heavier towel may be the way to go.”

Just as important as how much water a towel can absorb—in other words, how well it dries you—is how well the towel dries after you’re dry. “Nobody wants to put a wet towel into their backpack,” Oliver said.

After surveying online reviews, forums, and user ratings, and asking people what type of towel they preferred for their own outdoor activities, we narrowed our field to 19 packable towels, then threw in a standard cotton towel as a plush baseline. We then tested the towels using seven criteria: price, comfort, design, wicking, drying time, odor resistance, and packability.

We washed and dried all of the towels, giving them all an equal starting point, then we scored them in each category. We didn’t score weight or size, but we did make note of whether these features made a difference when comparing similar options.

Comfort: This was a tough one because of the people we asked, some preferred a more textured fabric and others liked the smooth feel of the microsuede towels. We asked individuals to feel each towel against their skin, asked for their comments, and then asked what their overall top picks were.

Design: Here, we looked at how well the towel is made, and whether there were any particular features—good or bad—that made drying off more or less of a pleasure. Key among them was fabric quality, stitching, and what kind of hanging loop—essential!—the towel came with. We also looked at texture, an important attribute for both water absorption and grabbing dirt and grime, rather than just pushing it around. A too-slick towel won’t do much of anything except leave your skin feeling yucky and wet.

Wicking: One of the most important tests we conducted was how well the towel could wick away water and leave the skin feeling dry. When we took our test towels to the beach, we wanted to see how they performed against sandy salt water and whether they were able to clean the skin in addition to drying it.

Drying time: To determine which towel dried the fastest, we applied the same amount of water to each towel and then timed how long it took for them to dry. But how much water to use, and how dry is dry, exactly? We used 4 ounces of water, a quantity we settled on after having multiple testers shower and weigh their towels before and after use. Once the person was dry enough to feel comfortable putting their clothes on, we called that “dry.” We did this a couple of times with each person and used a couple types of cotton towels to get a base number. The average amount of water people removed from their bodies after showering was a ½ cup, or about 225 milliliters. We hung our entire assortment of high-tech, portable towels on the same line and recorded the time it took to leave each one dry to the touch.

Odor resistance: Another important criterion is how the towel smells after multiple uses. “An antimicrobial finish helps with odor management and decreases the frequency you need to wash the towel,” Knight told us. A towel may be used a dozen times before it gets properly washed, and if a towel smells musty or dirty after a couple of uses, it probably is. Many of the towels advertise a protective antibacterial coating and we wanted to see if these coatings actually made a difference.

Nineteen towels sitting on the beach, each individually sealed in a plastic bag.

Our test involved taking the towels to the beach, soaking them in 16 ounces of ocean water, wringing out the excess water as best as we could, and then placing each towel in a sealed plastic bag for 48 hours. After that, we opened the bags and took a whiff. Though most remained odor-free (especially those coated with an antimicrobial treatment), we were taken aback by how seriously a few of them reeked.

Packability: As important as drying you—and drying out—are, the other key thing a camp towel has to do is pack small for travel. Some towels came with cases, some didn’t. Our focus was simply how tiny a towel could get.

Price: More expensive doesn’t really seem like a good thing when it comes to something like a packable travel towel, given that there’s such a variance in price and that most towels pretty much claim to do the same thing.

The PackTowl Personal is our top choice because it handled every test we put it through. It’s the perfect option for nearly any outdoor activity that requires a towel. It’s large and durable while still being comfortable and comes with an antimicrobial treatment, which means it won’t smell after multiple uses. Its snap loop for hanging was one of the easiest to use, and the towel packs down to a small size, making it easy to travel with. Its drying time was comparable with that of the fastest-drying towels we tested, and it didn’t absorb dirt or sand into its fabric, an essential feature if you’re taking a towel into the backcountry.

Made of a soft microsuede, this towel was consistently chosen as a top pick by those we asked to rate its comfort. It is soft and light, but still has a bit of texture, so it doesn’t feel slick against your skin the way a nanofiber towel like the Matador NanoDry Shower Towel does. The PackTowl seems built to last, with a nicely seamed edge that should hold up over time. On top of feeling soft, it dried our skin much more readily than the non-microfiber towels we tested, like the Coleman or Outlier. It even dried a bit more quickly than other microfiber products in our test group. We were impressed by how well it repelled sand and dirt from being absorbed into its fabric. The sand that did stick to the towel was easy to shake off—which wasn’t the case of some of the other models we tested that looked like dirty rags after just a short time at the beach.

In our drying-time test, the PackTowl dried much faster than most, with the exception of the linen towel and the Biospired Footprint, which beat the PackTowl’s dry time by 30 minutes. (The towels we tested dried in a range from 1 hour, 45 minutes to nearly 4 hours.) We noticed that the towels with an additional antimicrobial coating took a little longer to dry. We think the extra odor protection is worth the few extra minutes of drying time. As the PackTowl dried, some water initially beaded on the surface, but was then absorbed, compared with towels that still had visible water beads after almost an hour of drying. (Beads of water were a good indication of extended drying times.) Water also dispersed evenly through the towel rather than leaving wet spots, which likely contributed to its fast drying time. We dried the towels in overcast conditions, and noticed that at just over 1 hour, 30 minutes the PackTowl was only minimally damp, and could be packed back into its carrying case if you were in a rush to pack up and go.

We tested the PackTowl’s “body” size, which weighed 6.7 ounces, fairly average compared with the other suede-type towels, and measured 25 by 54 inches, just shy of being the same size as our standard bath towel, and larger than many of the towels in our testing pool.

Wirecutter staffers have owned this towel for multiple seasons and it continues to hold up, with no loose threads or unraveled seams after use.

We didn’t love the PackTowl’s pouch: it doesn’t attach easily to a backpack, and the zipper seemed flimsy. But the pouch is made of breathable fabric, so it won’t trap moisture the way a plastic bag or pouch might. Although the PackTowl is antimicrobial, it did have the slightest ocean water odor to it after our 48-hour smell test, which is not something we noticed in previous tests.

Costing about half the price of our top pick, the Rainleaf Microfiber Towel is a great choice for those that don’t want to shell out almost $30 for a towel. A major bonus is that unlike most of the inexpensive towels we considered, this one actually comes with an antimicrobial treatment and passed the smell test after being sealed up wet for two days. It’s also comfortable, easy to dry off with, and just as packable as the PackTowl.

It didn’t dry quite as fast as our top pick and that may be due to the fact that some of the water beaded off and remained on the surface before being absorbed directly into the towel. The size we tested (L) is also slightly smaller than some of the pricier options but still big enough to wrap around the average person’s body.

Because it is so inexpensive, there’s the option of upgrading to the XL or XXL sizes for just a few bucks more and still have it come in well below price of most other towels. On top of that, it has a functional carrying pouch that is both breathable and easy to fasten onto a backpack so you can pack the towel damp and hang it to dry when it’s time to hit the road.

That said, though it did well drying our testers at the beach, it didn’t handle sand as well as our top pick, leaving a good amount behind on both their skin and the towel itself. If you’re a serious outdoor adventurer who’s going to be putting it to work against the elements, we recommend a towel that can handle gritty, sticky stuff a bit better.

If size and volume aren’t issues and you’re looking for something more soft and comfortable, the PackTowl Luxe performed the best of the plush cotton-like microfiber towels. Not only did it dry the quickest of these towels, it was good at removing sand from the skin and didn’t absorb dirt and mud into the fabric. It also didn’t have any odor after the smell test. A few of the other thicker towels we tested simply reeked—testers used the term “rotten fish”—after a couple days crunched into a ball, but not the Luxe.

If comfort is a primary concern, this towel feels much closer to cotton, avoiding the slick skin-feel common to many microsuedes and nanofibers. As we did with our pick, the PackTowl Personal, we tested the extra-large “Body” size. Also like our pick, at this size the Luxe is a few inches larger than the others we tested of the same type, measuring 25 by 54 inches, offering that extra little bit of coverage.

It does come with a carrying pouch, and though not as stylish or durable as the Sea to Summit Pocket Towel ’s silicone carrying case, it’s adequate for what it needs to do. We consider this towel a solid option for car camping and day trips, when taking up a little extra space won’t matter.

Although durable and light, there’s an environmental downside to microsynthetic fibers: Every time you wash that gear, small quantities of its fibers are shed, ending up in our waterways and oceans. (Here’s a study from the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management on the issue.) For more about the problem and some advice on combating it, see our article Your Laundry Sheds Harmful Microfibers. Here’s What You Can Do About It.

We tested a standard white bath towel—the Fieldcrest Luxury Solid Towel, which has since been discontinued—that was the same size as the majority of the towels we tested. It performed as expected: It was great at drying skin and was comfortable, but it didn’t pack down and had a bit of a funky smell after our odor test. Surprisingly, it didn’t take that much longer to dry than some of the plusher microfiber models we tested and actually outperformed a few of the towels that are marketed specifically for camping.

Biospired Footprint Towel: This had been our runner-up pick, but the size we tested has cycled in and out of stock. If you do happen to run across one, it’s still a good towel, though. We had also tested, and dismissed, the Biospired Endurance Camping & Fitness Towel and the Biospired Trek Pack Towel; for what it’s worth, those towels also tend to have stock problems.

Matador NanoDry Shower Towel : For backcountry campers and hikers that are concerned about weight, this is by far the lightest towel we tested (2.4 ounces). It performed well, but it is very thin and not as comfortable as the others. We decided it was too specialized to be best for most people.

Outlier Grid Linen Towel : Made of a natural linen fabric, this towel was the fastest-drying towel, and it performed well at the beach. But it doesn’t pack down very small, doesn’t come with a carrying case but rather a thick elastic band, and had a faint smell after our odor test. Those drawbacks made it hard to justify its high price.

Sunland Microfiber Towel  (currently unavailable): One of the least expensive microfiber towels, but no antimicrobial treatment and very average performance.

Sea to Summit DryLite Towel : One of the slowest to dry. Another note of caution, many online reviews have reported a problem with the cobalt blue dye running. We didn’t run into this problem, but we tested an orange towel, so it’s likely the issue is with only the darker-colored towels. Another drawback is that the carrying case comes with a Velcro closure, making it possible to snag the fabric when maneuvering the towel into and out of the case.

Shandali Yoga Travel Towel  (currently unavailable): Average performance, no carrying case, and though it does have a little loop for hanging to dry, most of the towels we tested had a loop with a snap, making them more versatile.

YogaRat SportLite Sport + Bath Towel  (currently unavailable): Though this towel did dry quite quickly and was resistant to odor during our 48-hour test, the lack of an antibacterial treatment gave us odor concerns for people taking it on longer trips. And with no carrying case and a snapless loop, this towel was a few steps below our top choices in convenience.

Sea to Summit Tek Towel : Sand stuck to the towel, leaving it quite dirty. Drying time was slow.

REI Co-op Multi Towel  (currently unavailable, but we're looking into a possible new version): Everything stuck to this towel: dryer lint, grass, sand, and dirt, and even though we tested a darker color, it looked dirty after our day at the beach. It also didn’t smell great after our odor test, and it took over four hours to dry.

Lightload Towel : Not really built to be used multiple times, this towel is made of an almost paperlike viscose material, and although very small, once unpackaged it can’t be squished down to its original size (although it does fit in a smaller Ziploc bag). It is incredibly large though, dried quickly, and would probably perform as an ad-hoc firestarter or outdoor survival tool (non-cleanliness-oriented usage scenarios suggested by the manufacturer). Whether being able to set the world on fire is a worthwhile trade-off with this towel’s lack of odor resistance—it was the worst performer in our stink trial—is something we hope we’ll never have to decide.

Coghlan’s Deluxe Camp Towel (currently unavailable): This is the classic outdoor towel that’s been around campsites for years. Some backcountry campers still prefer these towels because they’re small, lightweight, and cheap, but they didn’t perform as well as the microfiber towels that we tested. They dry very slowly, stink up easily, and don’t feel good against the skin.

Coleman Camp Towel  (currently unavailable): Similar in nearly every aspect to the Coghlan’s towel, just with slightly different dimensions—neither is big enough to really function as a full-body wrap—this model also had the drawbacks of rough fabric, odor retention, and delayed drying. (It appears to have been discontinued.)

Most packable towels are designed to repel dirt and bacteria, so they don’t need to be cleaned after every use. Excessive washing can also break down the fabric and any additional antimicrobial technology the towel might be treated with. So, wash only when dirty and don’t dry your towel on high heat unless absolutely necessary; way better to hang it when you can and let the air take care of it.

Who Should Travel with a Travel Sleep Sheet?

Travel sleep sheets are good for any type of traveler. But if you’re traveling on a budget or are headed out on a long-term trek — backpack-only — then a sleeping bag liner is a good idea. They’re also for you if you just need a little extra warmth!

Perhaps a travel sleep sheet is most important for those of us who are germaphobes or are sleeping at more highly trafficked but likely lower maintained venues, such as hostels.

Who Should NOT Use Sleeping Bag Liners?

We would not suggest sleeping sacks for adults who are claustrophobic, as you might feel uncomfortable when you have your travel sleep sack fully sealed.

Likewise, if you’re tall, you might not be comfortable in a sleeping bag liner ó check out our taller suggestions like the Yala Dreamsacks Silk Travel Liner that is 7 feet 9 inches long.

You are also less likely to need travel sheets if you’re staying at a hotel or resort, unless you’re a germaphobe or simply looking for more protection.

Should You Make Your Own Travel Sheets?

While there are options to DIY and make your own travel sheet, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re using silk fabric . Cotton is heavy and bulky, which you don’t want in a sleeping bag liner if you’re trying to pack light.

I traveled with a cotton travel sheet on my RTW trip , and it was three times the size of other travelers sheets, which were silk or microfiber! I bought my sheet at the time because it was the cheapest, but for a little more cash, I could have packed lighter and saved space (which is especially important on a long-term trip).

What’s the Best Fabric to Choose?

When it comes to picking out the best sleeping bag liner for you, we highly recommend avoiding cotton whenever possible because of its bulk and weight.

Microfibre blends are the most cost-effective, easy to wash, and lightweight to carry. I travel with one similar to this travel sheet and highly recommend it.

If you’re able to dish out a few extra dollars, then silk sleeping bag liners are the best sleeping bag liner choice. They are incredibly lightweight and tiny, making them easy to pack. Plus they’re breathable and adapt to the weather to keep you from being too hot or cold.

What’s my Recommended Sleeping Bag Liner?

We believe that all of the sleeping bag liners we’ve provided in the above list are exceptional choices for different travelers. But if you’re curious, my lightweight microfiber blend sleep sheet was purchased in the Lake District in England. It is most similar to this travel sheet .

I like to be able to put my feet out of the sheet. Do any of these allow for 2 way zipping?

Alex

Hi Judy, thank you for your question! We’ll share your question here so the author of the article can reply!

Jenny

Whats microfiber feel like? Texture sensitive

alex

It’s very soft, in my opinion. Not like a fleece but not like a silk.

Lynette

The problem with silk is it doesn’t stretch, so the bag tends to rip along the seams after a while. It would help if it was a stretch silk like they use for clothing but I haven’t seen one.

Travel Fashion Girl

Stretch Silk would be a great option. Alternatively try the Microfiber Blends mentioned in the article 🙂

Lifeventure Hydro Fibre UltraLite Travel Towel

The best overall travel towel

Hydrofibre is the latest advance in travel towel technology. As we mentioned in the intro, it’s similar in texture to a softfibre towel, but it’s much lighter, so you won’t be lugging around more weight than you need to. For its pure functionality, it’s claimed our first spot as best travel towel. 

Read more below

Matador NanoDry Packable Shower Towel

The best lightweight travel towel

This travel towel is the perfect accessory for people who like to travel light. It weighs a mere 160g and can absorb over twice its weight in water. Better still, the nanofibre material dries super quickly - no one likes carrying wet towels in their bags, after all.  

Trespass Wickerman Bamboo Sports Towel

The best absorbent travel towel

If you get weirded out by the idea of drying yourself off with something that doesn’t remotely resemble the texture you’re familiar with, try this one. It’s made from a mix of bamboo and polyester, so it’s highly absorbent, and despite being much heavier than hydrofibre, it is still technically lightweight.

T3 Best Buy badge

1. Lifeventure Hydro Fibre UltraLite Travel Towel

Specifications, reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

Hydrofibre is the latest advance in travel towel technology. As we mentioned in the intro, it’s similar in texture to a softfibre towel, but it’s much lighter, so you won’t be lugging around more weight than you need to. 

It’s worth mentioning that this travel towel is treated with Polygiene, which prevents a build-up of odour producing bacteria – after all, a smelly towel won’t hang about when it comes to infusing it’s scent into the rest of your backpack contents. It comes with its own carry case, but reviewers say it’s small enough to squeeze into that last remaining space in your backpack if needs be. For its pure functionality, it’s claimed our first spot as best travel towel. 

  • Back to the top ⤴

2. Matador NanoDry Packable Shower Towel

High-performance outdoor equipment manufacturer Matador's NanoDry Packable Towel is the perfect accessory for people who like to travel light. It weighs a mere 160g and can absorb over twice its weight in water. Better still, the nanofibre material dries super quickly, which is a boon when you need to make a move in a speedy fashion after you finish skinny-dipping in the lake. No one likes carrying wet towels in their bags, after all. 

3. Trespass Wickerman Bamboo Sports Towel

If you get weirded out by the idea of drying yourself off with something that doesn’t remotely resemble the texture you’re familiar with, try this one. It’s made from a mix of bamboo and polyester, so it’s highly absorbent, and despite being much heavier than hydrofibre, it is still technically lightweight. 

Microfibre towels can get smelly, but because this one’s made from bamboo, it’ll resist turning on you that much longer – it’ll still need washing occasionally to completely prevent it from becoming stinky.  If you’re looking for a towel that you can take to that desert island inspired beach, this one is large enough to lie on, too. 

The best all rounder travel towel

Sea to Summit Tek Towel

4. Sea to Summit Tek Towel

Thanks to its microfibre composition, this travel towel should feel faintly towel-like. Microfibre creates a large surface area, which means it’s capable of high absorbency and it’s also much quicker at drying than regular towels, too. 

The large towel is similar in sizing to our bamboo selection above, and it’s lighter in weight if you’re conscious that your backpack is starting to feel heavy. The only downside is it doesn’t have antibacterial properties. 

If you know you’ll be passing through some hostels with washing facilities, that’s fine. But you may want to think about the smell-factor if you’re planning on going completely off-grid for a substantial amount of time.

The best large travel towel

Mountain Warehouse Micro Towelling Travel Towel

5. Mountain Warehouse Micro Towelling Travel Towel

If you’re conscious about covering yourself up in the all-sex showering unit (we don’t blame you), then this towel is pretty substantial in size. Despite being large, it can be compacted into a corner of your rucksack and the weight, too, is fairly light for a towel so hefty. 

Made from microfibre, it’s towel-like in feel, highly absorbent and fast drying, but it doesn’t possess antibacterial properties like our first and second pick, which means it could become smelly after a while. With a variety of colours available, you can make sure yours is easy to spot when it’s on the line. 

Check our Mountain Warehouse discount codes to save on your purchase.

The best fast drying travel towel

Bodhi Microfibre Towel

6. Bodhi Microfibre Towel

If you can get passed the fact that this towel has a suede-like feel to it, you’ll love that it’s very absorbent and can apparently dry even in the dingiest of hostels. The extra large size is the largest on our list, and with dimensions of 180cmx90cm, should allow you to completely cover up in the shared shower unit. 

It’s also good to know that it has antibacterial properties, so you can get away with not washing it for much longer than a regular softfibre or microfibre towel. It comes in a range of sizes, and can be squashed into your backpack last minute as you leave the hostel for your next destination.

The best attractive travel towel

Syourself Microfiber Sports & Travel Towel

7. Syourself Microfiber Sports & Travel Towel

Your list of items to purchase for your next trip is probably endless, so it’s good to know that there’s a cheap option when it comes to travel towels. With it’s fleece-like feel, it may be weird using it to begin with, but you’ll soon appreciate its fast drying and fast absorbing properties, thanks to its softfibre composition. 

There’s a range of sizes available, with the substantial extra large size able to compact itself into the smallest corner of your rucksack. If you’re looking to purchase a towel for washing and a towel for beach, this is the perfect towel for sunbathing on icing-sugar sand. 

The best compact travel towel

Nike Cooling Towel

8. Nike Cooling Towel

If you’re planning on island hopping and hitting the beach, or trekking through the jungle, you’ll want a towel that’s super absorbent, with a cooling effect. Like its name suggests, Nike ’s Cooling Towel does just this. Engineered to lower your temperature and keep you fresh during a workout, it’s brilliant for hotter holidays as the fabric cools when wet to help regulate body temperature, while its woven texture helps sustain the cooling effect for a chemical-free activation. At 91.3 x 45cm it’s a little bit of a sunny shape, but it is machine washable and you’ll be glad you have it if you’re dripping with sweat on your travels.

What is a travel towel?

First-timers may be asking why you can’t just stuff a towel from the airing cupboard into your backpack , carry-on luggage or suitcase . One of today's best bath towels is not a good choice for travel. Regular towels aren’t designed to be used and then crammed immediately into a rucksack. They don’t dry quickly enough for starters, which means they’ll go smelly and mouldy after a while. They’re also big and chunky, so they’ll take up far too much room and weigh you down more than necessary.

Travel towels, on the other hand, are lightweight, fast-drying, and smaller in size. They’re also highly absorbent, with the capacity to soak up water far quicker than a regular towel. Many have antibacterial properties too, so your towel-drying experience will be damp-free, smell-free and as pleasant as showering in the middle of nowhere can be.

The texture of travel towels also takes a variety of forms. Hydrofibre is likely to be fleecy to the touch, but deceives you with its amazing ability to soak up water quickly then dry really fast afterwards. Softfibre is very similar to hydrofibre in the way it feels, but it’s slightly heavier and can absorb more water. Microfibre is popular because it provides the closest texture to a towel out of all three options. It’s the thickest and heaviest and doesn’t have quite the same drying capacity as softfibre, but is still certainly one to consider.

Travel + Leisure / Alexander Huang

If you are tired of freezing on airplanes, chilly train rides, or breezy outdoor excursions, then we’ve got you covered (literally). Whether you're embarking on a long-haul flight, hitting the road for a cross-country adventure, or heading out on a camping adventure, a high-quality travel blanket can make all the difference. From lightweight and compact options ideal for cramped airplane seats to larger, more insulated blankets perfect for sleeping under the stars, we've rounded up the best blankets to suit every traveler's needs. 

Our Travel + Leisure team tested 19 travel blankets for comfort, ease of use, durability, and valuel. We evaluated and compared each option based on overall construction, fabric choice, design features, warmth, and packability. (Read more about our comprehensive testing process below). We will continue testing our picks for six more months to ensure each option’s reliability and durability, and we will update this article if anything should change. Scroll down below to find your next travel blanket guaranteed to make others jealous of how cozy you'll be on your next trip.

Best Overall

Kashwere travel blanket.

This blanket delivers the perfect combination of comfort, durability, and versatility.

The carrying bag is made of the same chenille fabric as the blanket, so it takes some effort to fit the blanket back inside the fuzzy bag.

If you’re a frequent traveler who values comfort, this travel blanket is worth every penny. We gave this Kashwere option a perfect score for being super cozy and comfortable, versatile, and durable. The blanket itself is made of a soft chenille yarn that feels like being wrapped in a cloud, providing a chef’s kiss balance between being warm but not heavy or too breezy. Size-wise, it might not be big enough to wrap you head to toe, but it covers all the important bits when you're sitting down — perfect for planes, cars, or just chilling at home. The fabric held up well after machine-washing and drying, and we thought the zipper on the carrying bag was sturdy. Bonus points: this blanket comes with its own carrying bag made of the same material, so you can double up the use for the packed blanket as a pillow, although it might not always be the easiest to tuck the blanket back inside the bag.

The Details: 32 x 48 inches | Chenille

Best for Flights

Travelrest 4-in-1 travel blanket.

We love the wearability and portability of this Travelrest option.

We wish it came with a pillow, but it’s not a total dealbreaker.

This blanket feels just like that favorite throw blanket you'd fight your friends over at an Airbnb — soft, plush, and just right for keeping warm on chilly flights. Its standout feature is the poncho style with plenty of room in the sleeves, and it’s made from plush fleece that covered us from neck to ankles. Perfect for car rides, train trips, and flights, or even just lounging at home or at a sports event, this blanket was a breeze to unpack and repack thanks to its laptop case-like zip around and additional drawstring bag. When we rolled it and placed it inside, we were impressed that it packed down to the size of a water bottle. Snag this blanket if you're a busy traveler who hates lugging around bulky blankets!

The Details: 38 x 72 inches | 14 ounces | Plush microfiber

Travel + Leisure / Chantia Murphy

Best for Camping

Yeti lowlands blanket.

From its waterproof material to its sturdy build, it doesn't get any more durable than this blanket.

This is way too large to use on a plane and is better suited for outdoor scenarios like camping trips, picnics, or beach outings.

First off, let's talk size: this blanket is massive, clocking in at about 6.5 by 4.5 feet and weighing nearly six pounds. While it might be a bit too big and heavy for squeezing onto your luggage for a plane trip, it's perfect for car rides or any outdoor adventure — especially camping. The blanket comes with its own carrying case, making it easy to throw with your other travel items. 

One side of the blanket is soft to the touch, while the other is built for toughing it out on the ground. We love that it has a waterproof layer, making it so convenient against spills and soggy ground. We also noticed how durable it is, and we definitely think it will stand up well to pebbled surfaces while camping while still feeling soft and warm. While the price might seem steep at $200, it's worth the investment for its versatility and durability.

The Details: 78 x 55 inches | 5.8 pounds | 65 percent polyester/35 percent rayon (comfort side), 100 percent polyester (utility side)

Travel + Leisure / Stella Yu

Best Portable

Bluehills travel blanket pillow.

Priced at approximately $30, this is one of the best budget-friendly options on our list.

If you tend to run cold, this blanket might be too lightweight for you.

Why use a sad airline blanket when you can bring your own? While some of the other blankets on this list are too large to comfortably use on a plane, this one is the perfect portable size. We thought it was super soft and lightweight, but a tad thin — it’s ideal for keeping cozy on a plane or car ride, but maybe not quite warm enough for those who easily get chilly. We appreciated the stress-free packability when it’s time to deplane (no wrestling with a stubborn blanket here!). When you’re ready to pack it up, it folds neatly back into its plush carrying case, which doubles as a cozy pillow after you zip it up. It also features a luggage strap and a clip to attach it to a backpack that makes it convenient to carry.

The Details: 70 x 48 inches | 1.28 pounds | Plush microfiber

Travel + Leisure / Anya Bayerle

Best Versatile

Away the travel blanket.

Featuring thermoregulating technology, this blanket keeps you comfy in any temperature while remaining lightweight.

 Folding a blanket that's almost 6 by 4 feet into itself on a plane is not the easiest task, but once it's packed, it's super lightweight and compact.

Away’s The Travel Blanket is the Goldilocks of travel blankets on our list — it's never too hot, never too cold, and always just right. Made of lightweight nylon, we thought it was like snuggling up in a sleeping bag . It might not be the comfiest material out there, but its size (it stretches across three airplane seats!), breathability, and versatility for any occasion makes up for it. The blanket also has a foot pocket, but we noticed we couldn’t reach it comfortably without being overwhelmed by fabric while we tried it out on a plane because of how large the blanket is, so we think this blanket is better suited for car rides, Airbnb stays when you need extra blankets, or outdoor activities like picnics or camping trips.

The blanket features 37.5 thermoregulating technology to personalize climate control, and we did notice that we never felt chilly or overheated when using it. “If you get hot, 37.5 active particles help to cool you down. If you get cold, these same particles work to warm you up,” according to the product listing on the Away website . Plus, it has some pretty unique features like snaps to attach it to a travel pillow and a strap to hook onto a bag. We also love that the blanket folds into itself, so there isn’t an extra bag you have to carry around.

The Details: 69.5 x 44.5 inches | 1.05 pounds | 100 percent Cocona 37.5 Nylon

Best Cashmere Set

Naked cashmere 4-piece travel set.

Naked Cashmere

This travel set also comes with a pair of cashmere socks, a sleep mask, and a silk pillowcase.

It’s definitely a splurge as the priciest option on this list.

Look no further if you want to travel in style: this set is a luxury sleep kit in a pouch. It comes with cashmere socks and a silk sleep mask, and the silk pouch transforms into a pillowcase when the blanket's inside. Our T+L team member who tested this set was instantly sold when they slipped on the socks, wrapped up in the oversized blanket, and got comfy on a cross-country flight. They even continued to use it at their destination when they got chilly. This blanket feels like a dream — it’s so soft, it's like wrapping yourself in a designer sweater. Priced at $450, it is an investment, but we deem it worth the splurge (and it makes a luxurious gift for the traveler who has everything).  

The Details: 82 x 50 inches | Cashmere

Travel + Leisure / Alexander Huang

Most Durable

Eddie bauer packable synthetic throw.

Not only is this blanket highly packable and portable, but it also withstands all sorts of activities, from camping trips to sports events.

The color and style options are loud and bold.

What to Consider: The color and style options are loud and bold. 

This travel blanket is the ultimate all-in-one travel companion. What sets this blanket apart is its perfect balance between puffiness and smoothness; it's soft to the touch, but when it's time to hit the road again, it rolls up effortlessly into its carry bag. It’s so lightweight that we forgot we were even carrying it! It is also clear that this blanket is built to last. Despite our rigorous testing, it stood up to everyday use — including cat claws, car rides, and wash cycles — while staying soft and cozy. It's the perfect blend of lightweight portability and maximum warmth, making it a top choice for travelers.

The Details: 70 x 50 inches | Polyester

Travel + Leisure / Lisa Pezzuto

PAVILIA Travel Blanket and Pillow

With its velvety feel, portability, and budget-friendly price tag, this is a solid choice for anyone looking for bang for their buck.

This travel blanket lacks certain premium features compared to others on the market.

This travel blanket is wallet-friendly without compromising on comfort. Made from microfleece polyester, it's soft, lightweight, and velvety, perfect for covering up whether you're sitting or laying down. Its compact size makes it easy to wear on a train or a plane when you don’t want to encroach on the person sitting next to you, but it’s still large enough to cover you and keep you warm. To pack it up, simply fold it a couple of times, zip it into its carrying pouch, and voila — you've got yourself a pillow. Plus, the pouch has a strap for easy carrying, which you can buckle onto a backpack strap or luggage handle. While it might not be the fanciest blanket out there, it holds up well in the wash and should last a few years. And at its price, it's a steal for the comfort and convenience it offers.

The Details: 60 x 43 inches | Microfleece

Travel + Leisure / Jackie Cucco

Best Puffer

L.l.bean puffer blanket.

This do-it-all camp blanket is perfect for sitting around the fire, sleepovers, movie night, picnics, and more.

The available patterns might not fit everyone’s taste.

Wrapping yourself in this blanket is like snuggling up with a puffer coat: slick and water-resistant but still comfy to the touch. Despite being lightweight, we found that this option kept us nice and toasty without making us feel overheated. Its flexibility made it easy to fold down this blanket into its travel bag, compact enough to match the size of a 40-ounce water bottle. It also features elastic bands on each corner to turn this blanket into a makeshift cape or coat. We love that this blanket is tougher than it looks, holding up all our testing with no signs of wear and tear.

The Details: 75 x 54 inches | 1.7 pounds | Polyester

Travel + Leisure / Ciara Grovert

White+Warren Cashmere Travel Wrap

White+Warren

Suitable for either a flight or a fancy dinner, we love how practical, chic, and versatile this wrap is for several occasions.

Its material is cashmere, so you have to dry clean it.

This White + Warren wrap may just be our new favorite go-to accessory for chilly airplanes. What sets it apart is its versatility, doubling as a cozy blanket for travel or a shawl that you can wear over your shoulders. It's well over five feet in length and though it's not the widest when compared to more traditional blankets, it’s wider than a standard scarf so you can wear it draped over your body or lap to keep warm in transit. The wrap's premium cashmere material adds to its luxe appeal, and that means you can even wear it out to dinner while looking stylish — and you can’t do that with a regular airplane blanket. Bonus points for making it out of a 14-hour travel day packed into a personal item without any wrinkles!

The Details: 81 x 36 inches | Cashmere

Travel + Leisure / Anna Popp

Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket

This massive blanket offers ample warmth and coverage, and there’s a huge selection of color options.

It’s not the easiest to stuff back into its carrying case, and it’s too large to use on a plane.

We found your next camping companion with the Rumpl The Original Puff. The generous size of this blanket provides lots of cozy comfort whether you’re covering yourself to sleep or laying or sitting on top of it. With 30 color options to choose from, this travel blanket is great for anyone looking for an airy, breathable, and versatile blanket for outdoor use. The included stuff sack adds convenience, though packing it back up requires some effort akin to rolling and tucking a sleeping bag or camping air mattress back into its case. At $125, it's a worthwhile investment for warm camping trips or outdoor activities but may not be practical for frequent air travel due to its large size.

The Details: 75 x 52 inches | 2.1 pounds | Recycled polyester

Travel + Leisure / Taylor Fox

Best Insulated

The north face wawona blanket.

The North Face

This lightweight blanket delivers on warmth and packability.

We found that this blanket is not the most cozy option.

We recommend this water-resistant North Face blanket specifically for outdoor activities and events, making it ideal for travelers seeking a lightweight, packable option that will keep you warm without taking up much space in your bag. The blanket features recycled synthetic insulation that provides warmth but lacks the soft feel of fleece or yarn. Packing and unpacking the blanket were straightforward, and though it took us a little bit of effort to fold the blanket neatly back into the attached carrying bag, once you get it back inside, the bag helps compress the blanket to a compact size that you can stow away in a backpack. The blanket showed no signs of wear or tear after multiple uses and washes, but we do think it has the potential to get snagged or tear if faced with anything sharp.

The Details: 72 x 55.9 inches | 1.5 pounds | Recycled polyester

Unhide Lil' Marsh Traveler

It feels expensive for how comfortable and soft it is but is super affordable.

It only comes in a few neutral shades of beige, and it does not include any straps or carrying cases.

Cuddly, comfortable, convenient, and cozy — and those are only the adjectives beginning with “C” when describing this blanket. Despite its ability to roll up small, the Unhide Lil’ Marsh Traveler proved to be a large blanket, providing ample coverage with plenty of extra room while sitting or lying down. This would make a great option for a plane or car ride for how thin and soft it is without any excessive bulk to bog you down or get in your neighbor’s way. We found that this blanket maintained its softness and durability throughout testing, remaining in pristine condition even after frequent use and washes. It can also easily fit into a tote bag or carry-on due to its thin material, making it easy to travel with when you have limited space but want something soft and snuggly to cover yourself with.

Other Travel Blankets We Liked

Four additional travel blankets we tested couldn’t quite earn a spot on our list due to minor issues but still had notable features that may meet the needs of some travelers.

Forestfish Fleece Throw Blanket : Priced at under $20, this blanket offers a good value for those seeking a smaller, lightweight travel blanket, especially suitable for shorter road trips. While it was adequate for drives, it may not offer enough insulation for plane or train rides with less temperature control.

Therm-a-rest Honcho Poncho Wearable Hoodie Blanket : This blanket maintains warmth without overheating, making it suitable for various outdoor activities. While its wearability adds convenience, it does not offer much coverage in poncho mode.

Sagefinds Soft Travel Blanket with Bag : Although deceivingly thin, this option offers a step up from airline blankets, providing warmth and breathability without being overly luxurious. It's deemed best for budget-conscious travelers seeking portability.

Eversnug Travel Blanket and Pillow : We like the versatility of being able to use this item as both a blanket and a pillow. However, it’s not the best choice for taller people because it’s on the smaller size.

Our T+L team tested 19 travel blankets in everyday travel scenarios to assess comfort, ease of use, durability, and value. We followed a comprehensive examination to evaluate each option, including overall construction, fabric choice, design features, warmth, and packability. We used the blankets in a variety of practical scenarios including traveling by plane, train, and car; during outdoor events; and even while lounging at home to determine comfort, functionality, versatility, and durability. 

We took notes on how heavy or lightweight the blankets felt, how warm or breathable they were, how large or compact they were, how easy it was to pack or fold them, and any unique features they had to make them more portable or comfortable. For the blankets that were machine-washable, we washed them at least once during the initial testing period to see how they held up and if the materials changed at all.

Our long-term plan includes testing for an additional six months to monitor each blanket’s performance and durability in different travel scenarios. As we continue to test the blankets in various real-world settings, we will continue to take notes on portability, practicality, and any wear and tear, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of each travel blankets’ reliability. We will update these results if our findings should change.

Tips for Buying Travel Blankets 

Think of your intended use.

When buying a travel blanket, consider your intended use carefully. If you're primarily using it for flights, prioritize coziness and a compact size — you won’t want something too large or too bulky that will take up too much space in your personal item or spill into the neighboring seat. Look for blankets made from soft materials that provide warmth without being too heavy to carry. Opt for lightweight options that can easily fit into your bag and keep you comfortable during long flights.

On the other hand, if you're planning to use the blanket for camping or outdoor activities, prioritize warmth and durability. Consider blankets that are larger, thicker, and possibly waterproof (or at least water-resistant) to withstand various weather conditions. Look for materials like fleece or wool that provide insulation and keep you warm even in chilly outdoor settings.

Additionally, pay attention to the dimensions of the blanket. Some blankets are designed for one person, while others are larger and suitable for two. Choose the size that best fits your needs, whether you prefer individual coverage or sharing with a travel companion.

Keep portability in mind

When you're on the hunt for a travel blanket, don't forget about portability. Look out for ones that come with a handy carrying case, especially those with luggage sleeves or clips that you can easily attach to your backpack or suitcase. Having a dedicated carrying case helps keep the blanket compact and protected when not in use, preventing it from taking up too much space in your luggage or personal bag. Some blankets can even double as pillows when you fold them up into their cases. Additionally, it helps to not carry one more additional item (look ma, no hands!) and makes it effortless to bring along during travel.

Look at special features

Traveling is hard enough, so when shopping for a travel blanket, consider special features that enhance functionality and comfort. Look for blankets with built-in footrest pockets, which provide extra warmth and coziness during long journeys. Zippered compartments are handy for storing small items like headphones or travel documents, keeping them within easy reach.

You can also opt for blankets that can fold into a pillow, offering versatility and saving space in your luggage. Waterproof blankets are ideal for outdoor adventures, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in unpredictable weather conditions. Thermoregulating blankets help maintain a comfortable temperature, keeping you warm without overheating. Blankets with sleeves and hoods allow you to wear them like a garment, providing maximum coverage and warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultimately, the size of your optimal travel blanket depends on your personal preferences, intended use, and travel requirements. Determine if you'll be using the blanket alone or sharing it with a travel companion. Look for a blanket that provides adequate coverage for your body lengthwise and widthwise, and think about whether you’ll be using the blanket draped over your lap or shoulders on an airplane or to snuggle your entire body under while sleeping in a tent. Check the dimensions to ensure it will fully cover you while sitting or lying down, especially if you're tall or prefer extra room.

It’s also best to consider how you'll be using the blanket. If it's primarily for air travel, a smaller size that fits comfortably in your carry-on bag may be ideal. For camping or outdoor activities, a larger size for added warmth and comfort may be more suitable.

Packing a travel blanket is relatively simple and depends on its design and size. If the blanket comes with a carrying case or pouch, fold or roll it neatly and tuck it into the case. Some blankets are designed to fold into themselves, transforming into a compact pillow or storage bag, making them easy to pack. If there's no specific carrying case, fold the blanket into a manageable size and place it in your luggage or travel bag like you would do for a sweatshirt or pair of pants. Consider using compression packing cubes or vacuum-sealed bags to further reduce bulk and save space if it’s a bulkier blanket.

Washing a travel blanket typically depends on the material and care instructions provided by the manufacturer. In general, most travel blankets made of synthetic materials like polyester or fleece are machine-washable in cold water on a gentle cycle. After washing, air drying is usually recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and prevent shrinking or damage from high heat. There are also some cashmere blankets on this list that are dry-clean only. Be sure to check the care label on the blanket for specific instructions and any additional precautions.

TripSavvy / Chloe Jeong

When headed to the beach, a proper blanket is essential. It creates an area for lounging, sunbathing, and picnicking. It should also stave off the sand. Blankets can suit various circumstances, from doubling as stylish towels to creating a moisture-proof barrier. We’ve scoured the internet to round up beach blankets for every need, considering the size and shape, fabric, waterproofing, and usability to bring you the best of the best for all your summer adventures.

Final Verdict

  • What to Look For

Why Trust TripSavvy

Best overall, wildhorn outfitters sand escape beach blanket.

Carrying bag

Quick-drying

Built-in sand anchors for stability

Gets wet easily

Material absorbs heat

The Wildhorn Outfitters Sand Escape Beach Blanket is affordable, especially considering its large size. At 9 x 7 feet, the blanket offers 63 square feet of sand-free space, providing ample room for all your beach gear and family members. Four integrated sand anchor pockets help keep the blanket on the ground even in high winds. Our product tester, Kimberly Holland , noted that the "fabric is thin and lightweight, but it's durable and resistant to tears or snags from keys or hooks."

It has an integrated stuff pouch and compression straps (attached so you'll never lose them) and packs away to just 6 x 7 inches for hassle-free storage. There are also additional pockets where you can store your personal items, which Holland used to hold her keys, cell phone, and sunscreen on the beach. The blanket is rugged and constructed from ultra-lightweight, tear-resistant parachute nylon, which should boost its longevity. However, our tester mentioned that the material was not breathable enough to prevent sweat from sticking and felt hot underneath the sun. Based on these tests, a benefit of the blanket is that it was easy to hand-wash. Best of all, it sheds sand well—just shake it off at the end of the day.

Dimensions: 9 x 7 feet | Weight: 1 pound | Care: Machine wash on cold

Best Budget

Camco handy mat with strap.

Summery colors

The Camco Handy Mat costs a fraction as much as some of the other blankets on this list but remains a firm favorite. It's made from durable, mildew-resistant polypropylene, making it difficult to stain and easy to clean. Fabric edging prevents fraying, while the mat is UV-stabilized to guard against fading over time.

"The mat's texture is similar to that of a palm weave but with plastic and feels akin to the thickness and weight of a well-made straw hat," says our product tester, Suzie Dundas , when testing the blanket on her local rocky sand beach. "Because of that, it afforded a bit of extra padding and made it difficult to feel small rocks and bumps beneath us. It's also a very tight weave, so it kept us dry when sitting on damp grass."

Essentially, this blanket proves that cheap doesn't have to mean poor quality. It measures 5 x 6.5 feet and folds into a compact 10.5 x 15-inch tote, complete with a hook-and-loop flap, handles, and a pocket on either side. Unfortunately, Dundas found the material too thin to withstand large gusts of wind without folding at the sides but says that it's a breeze to carry to the beach and even easier to fit in your linen closet afterward.

Dimensions: 5 x 6.5 feet | Weight: 1.2 pounds | Care: Spot treat with soap and water

Most Stylish

Scuddles outdoor picnic blanket.

Comfortable fleece fabric

Easy to carry

Doesn't get hot

Folding into original shape is a challenge

Top fabric snags easily

If you plan on making a statement on every beach you visit , opt for the Scuddles Blue & White Striped Tote Blanket for flawless retro style. Its soft polypropylene weave boasts artfully faded blue, white, and chocolate stripes, while fabric edging helps to prevent fraying—keeping your blanket looking smart for longer. When you're not using it, the blanket folds into a tote with a woven handle and a color-coordinated, messenger-style flap. "We appreciated that this blanket folds into its own carrying case thanks to a built-in handle and hook-and-loop fastener strips," said product tester Kimberly Holland. "It's compact enough to tuck into a larger bag but lightweight enough for a helpful kid to grab once you get out of the car."

It's as practical as it is stylish, with a waterproof backing that keeps you dry (and is amazingly easy to clean). The polypropylene is also resistant to mold and mildew—a significant bonus if you forget to air it properly before packing it away. When open, the blanket measures 5 x 5 feet, providing plenty of space for couples and families of up to four people. Holland also noted that the backing offers a bit of cushioning, which helps soften the surface if you "happen to spread the mat on a spot with a few rocks or shells." Compared to many other synthetic mats, our product tester also found it cool enough for those hot days underneath the sun.

Dimensions: 5 x 5 feet | Weight: 1.6 pounds | Care: Spot treat with soap and water

Best Circular

Icosamro round beach towel.

Chic aesthetic

Comfortable fabric

This circular blanket makes a stylish statement on the shore or by the pool with bold fern leaves and fringed edges. The polyester microfiber material is soft enough to double as a towel; however, it creates a smooth barrier when used as a blanket. At 59 inches wide, the blanket is big enough for several kids or adults to find seats. The blanket’s lightweight material allows quick and easy packing. Weighing slightly more than 1 pound, you’ll easily be able to carry the blanket along for a day at the beach.

Dimensions: 4.9 feet (diameter) | Weight: 1.21 pounds | Care: Machine wash

L.L.Bean Waterproof Outdoor Blanket

Water won't seep through

High quality

This double-sided waterproof blanket plays double duty. The 100 percent polyester fleece top turns the blanket into a cozy throw, while the 100 percent nylon and polyurethane-coated underside keeps moisture out. Reviewers applauded the blanket’s waterproofing features and attested that it holds up after washing. The coating also helps keep sand from gathering on the blanket. Measuring 80 x 72 inches, the oversized blanket easily seats four adults or wraps around two people. An included stuff sack makes the blanket portable for beach-side excursions.

Dimensions: 6.6 x 6 feet | Weight: Not listed | Care: Machine wash and dry

Best Sand-Proof

Cgear original sand-free mat.

Resists environmental debris

Not very soft

Built for heavy-duty use, the CGEAR Sand-free Outdoor Camping Mat features materials initially developed for the military. The mat is composed of tightly woven material that keeps out sand, dirt, and dust. An additional coating of polypropylene creates the ultimate sand-free ground pad. Reviews applaud the sand-proofing and confirm that it brushes off easily when dry. While the mat may not be the most comfortable mat to sit on, according to our product tester, Suzie Dundas, it still does its job. Not only did Dundas applaud its ability to keep off sand and dirt, but she was also impressed by the mat's resistance to water. This helps keep annoying sand off the blanket and makes for more comfortable and clean lounging after a swim.

The blanket also stands up to UV damage, so you should find it long-lasting and durable. This blanket won't blow away either, even in the heaviest winds. Heavy-duty D-rings keep it staked to the ground even when gentle shore breezes turn into gusts. The blanket comes in various sizes, from the small, which suits two people, to the extra-large, which seats 10. It's versatile whether you need it for a day at the beach or carting it along on an outdoor adventure , as it rolls up "like a sleeping bag" for easy portability.

Dimensions: S: 6 x 6 feet, M: 8 x 8 feet, L: 10 x 10 feet, XL: 12 x 12 feet | Weight: S: 2.8 pounds, M: 5.6 pounds, L: 7.5 pounds, XL: 11.7 pounds | Care: Spot clean with soap and water

TripSavvy / Suzie Dundas

Best Oversized

Sun ninja sand free beach blanket.

Stuff sack with bottle opener

Extremely light, especially for size

Machine or hand wash

Not the coziest fabric

This extra-large blanket is ideal for group beach adventures. Triple-stitched ripstop nylon provides a durable landing zone for up to seven seated adults. It is water-resistant, not waterproof, meaning you'll get a quick-drying barrier that shakes off sand easily, though you wouldn't want to place it over any previously damp surfaces. There are two ways to secure the blanket to the ground: four ground stakes for use on grass and four corner pockets to fill with sand on the beach. If the wind really starts to kick up, combine these two methods for even better stability.

Dimensions: 10 feet x 9 feet | Weight: 1.6 pounds | Care: Machine or hand wash cold

Best For Travel

Coalatree the kachula adventure blanket.

Tons of fun colors

Easy to clean

Relatively heavy

Those who prefer a lightweight blanket that's easy to carry should opt for The Kachula Adventure Blanket. This sustainably made blanket only weighs 1 pound and 9 ounces and has a pocket to hold your valuables. Reviewers loved how functional this blanket is, too. When stuffed inside the included travel pouch, it can transform into a pillow and comes with a detachable hood that transforms the water-resistant blanket into a poncho. While this blanket fits three people comfortably, it can also attach to other Kachula blankets using the carabiner hooks for extra space. It's available in 10 different patterns. This blanket will have you beach-going like a pro .

Dimensions: 4.16 x 6 feet | Weight: 1 pound, 9 ounces | Care: Spot clean with soap and water

Best Lightweight

Matador pocket blanket.

Durable fabric

Hard to fold into bag

For those who are looking for a simple, compact, and lightweight blanket to toss in your bag for trips to the beach or on a hike , the Matador Pocket Blanket is a solid choice. It only weighs 3.5 ounces, so you could leave it in your backpack or purse for those "just in case" scenarios. While it's not really a "snuggle up by the campfire" type blanket (it's decidedly more of a tarp material and weight), it helps keep your stuff off the wet ground.

Dimensions: 5.25 x 3.66 feet | Weight: 3.5 ounces | Care: Spot clean with soap and water

Best Waterproof

Urbaneco outdoors lightweight beach blanket - oversized.

Fun patterns

Built-in compression sack

Material can get hot in sun

The UrbanEco Beach Blanket is reasonably priced, especially considering its large size. At 107 x 77 inches, that's a lot of sand-free space for friends and family, gear, and more. The material is water-resistant and easy to shake the sand off. It's perfect for windy days, thanks to its double-anchored design. There are six yellow plastic stakes and four corner sand pockets, so your blanket isn't going anywhere. There's also a hidden zipped pocket for small valuables like car keys and phones. When finished, it rolls into a compact and easy-to-carry storage bag.

Dimensions: 8.91 x 6.41 feet | Weight: 2.09 pounds | Care: Machine wash on cold

Best Turkish Cotton

Cottonna turkish cotton oversized beach blanket.

Comfortable

Remains cool under sunlight

Easy to fold and pack up

Not the lightest pick

Turkish cotton is great for the beach because it's light (compared to terry weave), gets softer with use, and air-dries quickly. This pick's unique, hybrid construction provides the best of terry and Turkish towels to deliver a luxe and functional fabric—ideal for sandy beach-going, spa days, and around the campgrounds. A generous footprint of over 6 square feet easily accommodates a seated group of friends or a lounging couple plus gear. While the makers don't include any specific treatments, rapid drying helps keep the sand at the beach.

Dimensions: 6.67 x 6.67 feet | Weight: 3 pounds | Care: Machine wash

Friends and family can gather comfortably on the Wildhorn Outfitters Sand Escape Beach Blanket . It is designed to withstand wind and easily shakes clean when it's time to pack up. Camco Handy Mat is another cost-effective option that is durable and functional.

What to Look For in a Beach Blanket

Size and shape.

Think about how much stuff you plan to put on your beach blanket—and then add a few more square feet. (Larger families with loads of gear will want a larger footprint.) Most beach blankets come in either rectangular or square shapes, though one of our picks bucks convention with its circular footprint.

Beach blankets are made from various materials, including water-resistant polyester, fleece, parachute nylon, and microfiber. Even the most rugged models typically have softer fabrics on top, and some employ fabrics and fabric treatments that keep sand from clinging to the blanket.

For some folks, simple protection from the sand will suffice. For others—especially bigger families headed to the beach —added features like sand anchors and stakes might help keep the blanket in place. Pockets are also great for those who love playing in the waves and want a secure spot for their valuables.

Double-check your blanket for washing instructions; if present, follow those directions. In general, you can wash your blanket in a washing machine. Use cold water, and wash it on a gentle cycle. It’s best to wash the blanket separately from other items. Don’t add fabric softeners; these chemicals could destroy any waterproofing or technical fabrics in your blanket. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

Beach blankets and towels differ in materials, fabric treatments, and size. Beach towels are generally cotton, which is soft and absorbent. Plus, even larger beach towels typically fit a single person or child. Beach blankets incorporate technical materials, such as polyester, fleece, parachute nylon, and microfiber, or have fabric treatments that make the blankets water-resistant and relatively sand-proof. Beach blankets are also much larger than towels and made for multiple people to gather on them. 

First, look for a beach blanket with materials that keep sand from sticking. Sand tends to stick more to moist items—like beach towels—so waterproofing materials or fabric treatments will keep sand from getting tracked onto your blanket. Use the incorporated stakes or place heavy objects on the blanket's corners to weigh it down. If wet, sandy feet or hands keep tracking sand onto the blanket during your day of play, use baby powder on your skin to rub off the sand.

As you start planning your next trip abroad, looking into hotels, flights and tourist attractions, don't forget that the key to a smooth travel experience is a great piece of luggage. When you're traveling internationally, it's especially important to bring a suitcase that complies with airline restrictions, is comfortable to carry or roll throughout your journey and has plenty of room for all of your belongings and your souvenirs for the trip home.

This top-performing suitcase from our best overall luggage brand Samsonite has repeatedly stood out in the Textiles Lab's and our consumers' tests and is priced under $200 — an incredible value. The hardside carry-on is made of polypropylene and weighs in at just 6.5 pounds, which is one of the lightest bags we've tested, so it won't eat too much into the lower weight restrictions set by many international airlines.

I was impressed by how easy it was to lift and roll the bag around, even when filled with our standard packing load. Despite the lightweight design, this carry-on is spacious with a butterfly-opening, unfolding into two primary compartments for easy packing, and there's an additional one inch of expandable storage with the pull of a zipper.

During our Lab evaluations, we liked how easy it was to pull the bag through our luggage obstacle course. While some testers said the telescopic handle felt a bit loose, the suitcase earned high scores for maneuverability, with testers sharing feedback including "very smooth rolling" and "the wheels moved really well." The material was more prone to scratching than some others we evaluated, but the suitcase proved to be durable overall in our drop tests, resisting major damage.

Listed dimensions: 21.25" x 15.25" x 10" | Weight: 6.5 lbs | Material: Hardside polypropylene | Expandable: Yes | Returns: Within 30 days, unused

With more than 34,000 five-star ratings, t his best-selling suitcase from Amazon Basics is loved by both real users and our consumer testers who say it's worth every penny. Made of lightweight ABS plastic, the hardside suitcase isn't quite as durable as those made of polycarbonate, but the material helps to keep the cost low — under $100 — so I recommend it for someone shopping on a budget.

During our Textiles Lab evaluations for durability, there were some noticeable markings in our scratch tests, but we were impressed by how well the bag maintained its shape after being released repeatedly from our drop tester. Amazon reviewers who regularly use the suitcases say they hold up over time, as well.

When our consumer testers rolled the suitcase through our obstacle course, they were wowed by how smooth the wheels were, with one describing the bag as "very easy to move." We gave the carry-on high scores for packability, as we were able to pack our standard load of belongings (clothing, accessories and toiletries) for a short trip inside with room to spare. Plus, there are interior zippered mesh pockets for easy organization, and the bag expands up to one extra inch for additional packing space.

Listed dimensions: 22" x 14.9" x 10" | Weight: 7.3 lbs | Material: Hardside ABS plastic | Expandable: Yes | Returns: Within 30 days, unused

One of the most popular suitcases on the market, Away's standard carry-on is definitely worth the hype . The bag is available in 11 colors, including on-trend options like green and red, along with neutral hues like gray and black.

Not only is the suitcase simple and stylish from the outside, it's also full of functional features inside to make packing for your next international trip a breeze. The bag unfolds into two separate primary compartments to fit all of your things: one fully zippered side and one with adjustable compression straps, and there are mesh pockets to stash smaller items.

Consumer testers and GH analysts alike love to travel with the Away carry-on, including one who shared, "It fit all of the clothes I needed for a long weekend. It rolled really easily and was light enough to pop in and out of the overhead bin." Testers said the telescopic handle felt flimsier than others they tried, but they were impressed with the bag overall, saying that it was easy to maneuver and roll over different types of flooring, including wood, carpet and tile. And it looked great after our drop and scratch tests, showing no major signs of damage or dents.

Briggs & Riley 31-inch Baseline Extra Large Expandable Spinner

The innovative design details of this softside checked bag from Briggs & Riley help to simplify packing for extended trips abroad. The bag features a unique push-button expansion system unlike any other we've evaluated , which allows you to easily expand the bag, fill it with everything you'll need and then compress it back down to its standard size.

One tester who was impressed with the amount of space in the carry-on version of the bag shared, "It fit clothing and accessories for two people for a seven-day summer vacation." And this checked bag offers more than double the packing capacity. Other innovative features include a built-in trifold garment folder for formal attire and reinforced corners for added protection.

At 15.6 pounds, the suitcase does weigh more than other models we've evaluated, but it is made with a nylon material that resisted wear and tear when I tested it in our abrasion machine. It also earned top marks in our latest round of drop testing. Along with performing well for durability, the suitcase received high scores for maneuverability, with smooth wheels and a sturdy telescopic handle.

Rolling a bag through the airport has never been easier than it is with July's classic luggage , including this spacious checked suitcase and its popular carry-on bags . One GH analyst who took the checked bag on a vacation abroad said, "I've never used a suitcase with wheels this smooth." I've personally traveled with luggage from the brand and was blown away by how effortless it was to roll the suitcases, even over carpet and concrete sidewalks.

The telescopic handle technically locks at 20 different heights to prevent it from falling down on its own, and most testers appreciated the slanted grip on the handle, sharing that it was comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver with.

Made with a polycarbonate shell, the suitcase is lightweight and durable, and the corners are reinforced with aluminum bumpers for an added level of protection. The bag held up well after being released repeatedly from our drop tester, but testers noted marks and scuffs on the surface after taking the bag on just one trip.

It boasts 80 liters of packing space and features one fully zippered compartment and one open compartment with a compression panel and Y-strap for security. Even more, it weighs just 8.3 pounds, which is similar to many of the carry-on sized bags we evaluate.

Travelpro luggage was created by a pilot who wanted to make bags specifically for other pilots and airline crewmembers who were always on the go. The result is a collection of highly durable, quality suitcases including the popular Platinum Elite medium checked suitcase.

Built to last, the luggage is made of heavyweight nylon material that performed well when I tested it for abrasion resistance. When I released the bag repeatedly from our drop tester, it showed no signs of damage or dents. Our testers also gave the suitcase high scores for ease of use and appreciated the sturdy feel of the telescopic handle. The suitcase does have a more traditional look, though, which some testers described as "old-fashioned," sharing that they wished it were sleeker.

Full of thoughtful and functional features, the suitcase makes packing and traveling a breeze. The bag can be unzipped to reveal one large packing compartment with compression panels that secure your belongings in place, a removable wet bag for toiletries, a large mesh zippered pocket in the lid for breathable storage and a built-in suiter to help keep more formal clothes in tip-top shape. To prevent the suitcase from tipping over when it's full, it's also designed with a unique tapered expansion system, so the bag is narrower at the top and broader at the bottom.

While some softside luggage is bulky and pricey, this Helium DLX carry-on from Delsey is lightweight, as the name implies, and it's available for a great value. The polyester material isn't quite as durable or substantial as nylon styles we've tested, but the brand's polyester fabric has performed well overall in our abrasion tests without major wear.

Two external zippered pockets allow for easy access to travel essentials like your phone and ID, so you won't have to hold up the TSA line while scouring through your bag. While the bag unzips to expose only one main compartment for packing, it's equipped with a removable bi-fold organizer and expands by two inches for additional room. One tester said, "I love the pockets." Plus, the inner lining can be fully unzipped and removed for easy cleaning.

I personally carry luggage from Delsey and love the smooth wheels and sturdy telescopic handle, and our testers who tried Delsey's luggage found the handle to be comfortable to grip and use. However, they said the bags were more difficult to maneuver through our obstacle course than others they tested.

a delsey suitcase open and closed in a hallway

A rolling duffel like this one from L.L.Bean is ideal for longer adventures abroad or for overpackers like me. The duffel isn't as structured as standard suitcases, meaning you can compress it and slide it under your bed or in a closet if you're pressed for storage space — and on the other hand, you can really fill it to the brim when you're packing. Just be careful that you're not stuffing it too much because it can be easy to exceed an airline's weight restrictions.

One GH analyst who loves to travel with this bag said that it's one of her go-to picks for family vacations. With just two wheels, our analyst said it's a little more cumbersome to maneuver than a spinner suitcase, but you also have the option to carry the bag with the padded strap.

The bag has a wide opening for easy access to everything you need inside, and outer compression straps keep everything in place. Made of durable polyester material with a reinforced base, the duffel lasts for years and years without signs of wear, according to our analyst. Plus, it's water-resistant inside and out — perfect for inevitable leaks or wet weather. If you're looking for something smaller, the brand carries a variety of sizes to meet your travel needs.

When we evaluated this bag in the Textiles Lab, we were amazed by just how much we could fit inside during our packing tests. Not only did it beat out other travel backpacks we tested, it also outperformed some of our carry-ons because of its spacious interior .

The backpack has a suitcase-style opening and fully unzips to expose a highly organized interior jam-packed with zippered mesh pockets for all of your belongings. It also features a padded laptop sleeve that fits up to a 17-inch computer.

Made of recycled nylon and polyester, the bag is durable and water-resistant. When I tested it for abrasion resistance in the Lab, there were no visible signs of wear. Details like a sternum strap, waist belt and padded mesh provide comfort and support. With backpack straps that tuck neatly inside the back of the bag and carrying straps on all sides, you can easily grab it to lift into an overhead bin.

Some online reviewers wished it was equipped with a water bottle holder and said the zippers can be finicky, but we didn't have issues with them in the Lab.

Able to hold everything you need for a weekend getaway, this weekender from Calpak was the top performer in our Textiles Lab tests. Not only is the bag totally on-trend, thanks to the puffy padded design and fashionable color options, it's also full of functional features . One tester who used it as her personal item on a long trip said, "This bag fits everything I need and more!"

A GH analyst who used the bag added, "I appreciate the well-organized interior," which includes several zippered pockets and elastic storage. Outside, there's a separate shoe compartment, additional zippered pockets and a water bottle holder. Altogether, there are nine pockets, and the spacious bag aced our packing tests.

If you're pairing it with Calpak's popular luggage , this bag has a trolley sleeve that slides right over the telescopic handle of your suitcase. One tester noted that the stitching that secured the sleeve in place started unraveling a bit after just one use. The bag is made of a smooth polyester material that's comfortable to carry and water-resistant. A tester said, "It poured while I was traveling and everything inside this bag stayed perfectly dry."

Cargo Hauler 40L Duffel Bag

This convertible duffel from Eagle Creek is the perfect adventure travel companion. The bag is durable, combining polyester and nylon for a water-resistant material that also held up well when tested for abrasion resistance . One GH analyst who travels with this duffel said that it still looks great after years of regular rough and tough use.

It's structured and maintains its shape for easy packing, but the duffel can be compressed to bring inside of your suitcase as an extra bag or for compact storage at home. According to our testers and GH analyst, the zippers have large pull tabs that are easy to use, and, according to the brand, they're covered in water-resistant strips for the ultimate protection in wet weather.

The duffel features a reinforced top handle and grab handles along the sides for carrying, and there are adjustable backpack straps for hands-free use that can be connected for an additional carrying strap or tucked inside the bag. Some online reviewers said the backpack straps are on the thinner side and weren't as comfortable as other traditional travel backpacks, but they appreciated the convenient option.

Experts Say Waffle Towels Last Longer and Are Better for You—Shop Our 8 Favorites from Brooklinen, Target, and More

They’ll get softer and more absorbent every wash.

travel towel sheet

Real Simple / Jaclyn Mastropasqua

Whether you’re settling into a bare-bones new home or simply looking to refresh your linen closet, new towels are both an essential and a luxury. As a beach town resident, I’m constantly going through my stash, so I always have a load of towels in the wash; ocean water, sweat, sand, and more keep them in constant rotation. Eventually, even my plushest of towels wear down to nubs.

Luckily, dermatologists recently let Real Simple in on a tantalizing little secret to change how we stock up our towel supply: Waffle weaves last longer between washes. Because of its texture, the fabric dries more quickly than other materials, allowing you to use it more frequently. Similarly, the waffle weave towels have more longevity in humid climates like mine.

From Brooklinen to Target, from the spa-worthy to the straightforward, there are plenty of waffle towel options available on the market. We’ve rounded up fifteen of our favorites to keep you company all summer—and all year—long.

Best Waffle Weave Towels Under $150

  • Cozy Earth Waffle Bath Sheets , $98 (was $140)
  • Brooklinen Waffle Bath Towels , $72 (was $89)
  • Boll & Branch Single Waffle Terry Towel , $49
  • Onsen Waffle Bath Sheet Set , $105 (was $114)
  • The Citizenry Imabari Waffle Face Towel , $47 (was $58)
  • Figment Kitchen Towel , $3
  • Polyte Oversized 6-Piece Bath Towel Set , $37 (was $39)
  • Bed Threads Petrol French Flax Linen Bath Towel , $68 (was $80)

Cozy Earth Waffle Bath Sheets

Crafted from viscose that is sourced from bamboo, this set of two extra-large waffle weave bath towels from sustainable brand Cozy Earth has a clever reversible feature. One side has a mini textured waffle weave while the other has a comfortable ribbed terry. Personally, I love the giant, swaddle-worthy size, because they create the spa-like cocoon of plush towels with the quick-drying convenience of the waffle weave.

Brooklinen Waffle Bath Towels

Available in six attractive colorways, ranging from pale violet to classic black, these on-sale bath towels from Brooklinen are made from 100 percent long-staple Turkish cotton. The unique honeycomb weave is designed to quickly trap water so that it can also dry faster. Best of all, each towel in the set of two is pre-washed for immediate softness, but the material will actually get even softer over time.

Boll & Branch Single Waffle Terry Bath Towel

Boll and Branch

Bedding and bath brand Boll & Branch excels in luxury linens that feel good on your skin and on your wallet. For those not looking to entirely commit to the waffle lifestyle, this midweight towel also has dual sides: One side has micro-sized waffling, while the other has absorbent terry. The material is also Made in Green Oeko-Tex Certified to ensure that you get towels that are free of any harmful chemicals. P.S. Add in the brand’s vintage-inspired linen sheets if you’re looking to splurge.

Onsen Waffle Bath Sheet Set

Onsen’s Memorial Day sale means shoppers can score up to 40 percent off sitewide, so what better time than now to upgrade your towels. According to the brand, this waffle bath sheet set lasts 45 percent longer than other cotton towels and that these in particular will get softer and more absorbent over time. Personally? We’re just eyeing those ten gorgeous colorways, especially the rich ochre shade. The bundle is a smart buy, as ach set comes with a bath towel, hand towel, and face towel—all of which are 25 percent off this weekend only.

The Citizenry Imabari Waffle Face Towel

Don’t forget smaller hand and facial towels to round out your new waffle collection. From jute rugs to stylish planters, ethical marketplace The Citizenry has plenty to love, including its handcrafted waffle towels that are loomed in super soft Pima cotton in the oldest, family-run mill in Japan. On a functional level, these towels are lightweight, gentle, and have a flattering flat-run border. To keep the towels looking great (they’ll already feel great over time), the brand recommends washing them on cold and hanging them on a rack versus a hook to better retain the shape.

Figment Kitchen Towel

Whenever I’ve moved (frequently), I’ve immediately stocked up on low-cost yet lovely Target towels starting at just $3. Made with 100 percent terry cotton, these waffle weave towels are especially useful in the kitchen for mopping up quick spills, drying dishes, and more without any (ew) dripping or dampness. One shopper went as far as to say, “These towels are the best I’ve purchased so far. They are thick, absorbent and look beautiful in my kitchen. And you can’t beat the price.”

Polyte Oversized 6-Piece Bath Towel Set

Snag your full linen closet upgrade from Amazon with this shopper-favorite pack of waffle weave towels that has over 1,400 five-star ratings. Shoppers appreciate its lack of lint with one reviewer saying they’d buy multiple other sets. You’ll get six towels total (two bath, two hand, and two face towels) that are all made with 400gsm for a thick, durable towel. 

Bed Threads Petrol French Flax Linen Bath Towel

Bed Threads

Opting for waffle texture doesn’t mean you have to be tied down to cotton only. Linen’s an excellent fabric choice year-round for its temperature regulation and is thick enough when it’s cool but light when it’s warm. Measuring at 35.4 by 66.9 inches, the towels feel heavyweight and “lightly exfoliating,” according to the brand. You can shop them in seven different colors, ranging from a soft Oatmeal to striking hues like Petrol and Turmeric. Keep in mind that the towels will shed a bit in the beginning but shouldn’t continue happening after the initial few washes.

Europe's Strangest Tourist Rules in 2024

M ore than 700 million global travelers arrived in Europe in 2023. That’s a post-pandemic record. However, the popular collection of countries will soon see a significant shift in its tourism dynamics.

The European Union will roll out the new European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) in 2025 . The system requires visitors from the United States and 60 other nations to secure authorization prior to entering the “ Schengen Zone .” That limits travel to 23 EU countries, four non-EU countries, and three microstates, even for transit purposes.

ETIAS was originally supposed to arrive this year. It is a pivotal development for visa-exempt visitors to the Schengen Zone, aimed at enhancing border security and public health through pre-screening.

Despite not being a visa , ETIAS necessitates an online application, offering rapid processing times from minutes to a maximum of 30 days for a €7 fee, exempt for those younger than 18 or older than 70.

The initiative is expected to significantly impact travel patterns and the economy, prompting the travel industry, including airlines and major hubs like Heathrow, to adapt to potential changes. ETIAS was intended to offer a safer, more streamlined travel experience by improving border security and efficiency, potentially boosting Europe's appeal as a top destination.

This balancing act between security enhancements and tourism appeal marks a critical juncture in Europe's tourism evolution.

Government officials hoped ETIAS would not just enhance security, but also proactively address the challenges of overtourism. Local governments across the continent have already rolled out unique measures, such as fines for beach towel usage and public behavior restrictions.

It’s a strategic approach to sustain tourism without compromising destination quality.

Sardinia's Towel Ban and Sand Theft Fines

Sardinia, Italy, embraces sustainability by enforcing a visitor quantity cap at its most famous beaches . Additionally, the region is issuing fines nearing $4,000 for sand theft, particularly at the salmon-hued shores of Spiaggia Rosa. The famous beach and its pink sand have been closed to visitors since the mid-1990s to prevent further sand loss, a decades-old move that solidifies the island's environmental protection prioritization.

Additionally, visitor access to other popular beaches, like La Maddalena, Cala Coticcio, and Cala Brigantine, requires advance online booking and a nominal entry fee to ensure sustainable tourism practices​.

Portugal's Crackdown on Beach Noise

Portugal hopes to promote tranquility on its beaches by imposing hefty fines for loud music.

The National Maritime Authority (AMN) banned crowd-disrupting portable speakers, with fines ranging from around $200 to $39,000 for individuals and groups . These rules aim to provide a peaceful beach experience for everyone and emphasize the importance of respecting shared spaces​​​​​.

Seville's Ban on Public Underwear Display

Seville hopes to preserve public decency by targeting rambunctious behavior at bachelor and bachelorette parties. The city’s newly enacted measures combat "obscene acts," including explicit attire or apparel bearing sexist messages in public spaces.

The efforts are part of a broader initiative comprising similar measures that work to ensure Seville’s streets remain respectful and welcoming to all. These strategies reflect the city’s commitment to balancing modern, vibrant nightlife with the traditional cultural heritage that attracts visitors worldwide.

Portofino Cracks Down on Selfie Loitering With Fines

Portofino introduces fines to manage tourist congestion. Mayor Matteo Viavaca announced penalties of around $300 for those loitering in popular photo spots to alleviate "anarchic chaos" on its streets. The rule targets two "red zones" notorious for blocking pedestrian traffic.

The initiative, enforced from Easter weekend, seeks to enhance the visitor experience while preventing overcrowding. Portofino joins a global trend of destinations adopting visitor caps and taxes to balance tourism and local quality of life.

Austrian Village Implements Unique Strategy Against Tourist Disruption

A charming Austrian village’s temporary wooden fence hopes to curb excessive and aggressive tourist activity, particularly from overeager selfie enthusiasts. Hallstatt, known for its picturesque landscapes and a population of under 800, faces up to 10,000 visitors daily.

The move is part of Hallstatt’s broader initiative to prioritize quality tourism. This move is another element of a now-global tourist destination trend to soften the blow dealt by sky-high visitor volumes. Hallstatt looks to uphold locals’ quality of life and cultural conservation.

Spanish Group's Creative Stand Against Overtourism

An anti-capitalist group’s strategically placed signs on Mallorca's beaches continue to deter tourists, highlighting locals’ collective resistance against overtourism. This initiative by Manacor Caterva aims to preserve the island's natural beauty and mitigate the impact of the millions of visitors it receives annually. The signs warn of nonexistent dangers and send a message to onlookers about tourism’s effect on environmental and community well-being.

Venice Transportation and Entry Fee Adjustments

Venice introduced a $5 entry fee for day-trippers, with prices fluctuating based on the season and visitor numbers, potentially rising to around $10 on peak days. This fee is aimed at regulating visitor numbers and encouraging longer stays. Public transportation passes and municipal garage rates have also increased, though discounts are available for those booking in advance​​​​.

Europe's innovative approaches to managing overtourism last year may motivate other destinations to combat similar challenges.

Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 Purifying Fan

4.2-star average rating from 358 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

Why have an air purifier or a fan when you can have both? This Dyson tower pulls unfiltered air from all around its base, then blows clean air out across your space. The fan can oscillate nearly 360 degrees, a useful feature if you want to place it in a corner or the center of a room. It also has a night mode that keeps the fan at its quietest speed.

Canopy Filtered Shower Head

4.8-star average rating from 411 reviews on Canopy

A filtered shower head can remove chlorine, bacteria, dirt, debris and odors from your water before it reaches your skin, according to our experts, and can help protect your skin and hair from irritation. This Canopy model is easy to install, and is great for multiperson households because it has three spray settings: wide, narrow and dual, says NBC Select associate updates editor Zoe Malin .

It’s currently 15% off with code SUMMERGLOW.

4.5-star average rating from 3,199 reviews on Samsonite

This spinner is lightweight yet indestructible, according to NBC Select managing editor Leah Ginsberg. You can expand this four-wheeled hard-shell suitcase by 1.5 inches when needed (via zipper). It comes in multiple colors — I have a similar model in lavender and it’s easy to spot at baggage claim among the sea of black suitcases. (It also has a built-in ID tag .)

Best mattress and bedding sales

Brooklinen classic percale core sheet set.

Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set

4.4-star average rating from 17,679 reviews on Brooklinen

Our staff voted these the best bed sheets in our Bed and Bath Awards — particularly for their cooling properties. “As a hot sleeper, I felt cool and comfortable sleeping on these — they definitely don’t absorb my body heat like others do,” says Malin. They feel a bit stiff to start, but soften up after a wash or two, in our experience.

Bear Pro Hybrid Mattress

Bear Pro Hybrid Mattress

4.4-star average rating from 55 reviews on Bear

NBC Select SEO editor Nikki Brown says this hybrid mattress (which she received from the brand years ago) relieves her sore muscles post-workout more than other ones she’s tried. She is a back and side sleeper, and finds both positions comfortable — the mattress hits a great balance between firm and cushioned. It’s made with a cooling gel memory foam that makes the mattress extra breathable and has a lifetime warranty, according to the brand. 

The Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set

The Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set

4.5-star average rating from 538 reviews on The Citizenry

These are our favorite linen sheets because they’re soft, lightweight and cooling. “I’m a hot sleeper and these feel so light — I didn’t feel hot or sweaty once throughout the night,” says NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez . They’re available in more than ten colors and come with a linen bag for storage if you want to swap them out for something heavier during wintertime.

Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress

Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress

4.5-star average rating from 6,857 reviews on Helix

Helix is one of our favorite brands for both firm and soft mattresses. This model is a medium-firm mattress ideal for side-sleepers, according to the brand. It’s 13.5-inches tall (a little taller than a standard piece of printing paper) with six foams layers wrapped around a central layer of coils. It comes included with two pillows during this Memorial Day sale.

Supergoop unseen sunscreen.

Supergoop! Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

Supergoop! Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

5-star average rating from 3,615 reviews on Supergoop

Supergoop makes some of the best sunscreens — our editors love its clear, glossy consistency that goes on without stickiness. “It never leaves me oily, which I consider a huge pro when it comes to SPFS,” says Schneider, who's been using it for years. “It’s completely clear and also works as a great primer under makeup.”

(20% off discount will automatically apply at checkout.)

EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion

EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion

4.7-star average rating from 10,139 reviews on Amazon

This gentle sunscreen is one of the best for acne-prone skin and rosacea . Godio, who has rosacea, thought she was allergic to sunscreen before trying sunscreen from EltaMD — it doesn’t irritate her skin at all. The formula is water-resistant, noncomedogenic, oil-free and fragrance-free.

Apple ipad air (5th gen).

Apple iPad Air (5th Gen)

4.7-star average rating from 631 reviews on Walmart

Apple released new iPads earlier this month, which might be why this 5th Generation model is at its lowest price ever. It originally launched in 2022, and still remains an excellent tablet with a bright screen, zippy performance and great stereo speakers on each side. I love traveling with it — it is thin and light, and barely adds weight to my travel backpack . 

Roku Streaming Stick 4K

Roku Streaming Stick 4K

4.7-star average rating from 74,807 reviews on Amazon

This is one of the easiest streaming devices to use in my experience. Both NBC Select editorial operations manager Shari Uyehara and I use it to watch our favorite shows on Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+ and more. Of all the smart home devices I’ve used, I find Roku the easiest to install and navigate — it took me less than five minutes to set this one up.

Apple Airpods (2nd Gen)

Apple Airpods (2nd Gen)

4.7-star average rating from 614,990 reviews on Amazon

There is a reason so many iPhone owners use AirPods — they pair seamlessly with Apple devices without causing headaches around setup. This second generation model is great for people who don’t like earbuds blocking their ear canal — they have a slightly open fit with no rubber eartip attached. They come with a charging case that, when paired with the earbuds, give them more than 24 hours of battery life, according to the brand.

Parachute cloud cotton robe.

Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe

4.2-star average rating from 2,380 reviews on Parachute

Voted best robe in our Bed and Bath Awards, this 100% long-staple Turkish cotton unisex robe is comfortable, soft and warm, but not too thick or fluffy, in our experience. It falls just below the knees, and is easily adjustable with the attached tie. It’s a great all-season robe, says Malin.

Cotopaxi Teca Fleece Full-Zip Jacket

Cotopaxi Teca Fleece Full-Zip Jacket

4.6-star average rating from 339 reviews on Cotopaxi

Cotopaxi’s jackets help me get through the cold New York City winter in comfort and style. This fleece layer is made with a 100% recycled polyester fleece and has elastic bindings around the hem and cuffs. It has two front hand pockets, and is available in men’s and women’s sizing.

Feetures Elite Max Cushion No Show Socks

Feetures Elite Max Cushion No Show Socks

4.8-star average rating from 860 reviews on Feetures

These socks are great for walking, running, lounging and everything in-between. They are cushioned without being stuffy, and have reinforced fabric around the heel to pull them on and off more easily. They are available in men’s and women’s sizing.
