Nomadix Original Towel — National Parks Series

The Original Towel by Nomadix is a super absorbent, quick-drying, and sand-resistant towel made from at least 90% post-consumer recycled plastics for purposes of sustainability. It's designed to be used just about anywhere — at the beach, at yoga class, after a gym workout, while camping or backpacking, or as a travel towel since it packs down so small.

They've got a bunch of vibrant, great-looking prints to choose from, but in my book, the best ones are the US National Parks variants, of which the following parks are included:

Those of us who've been to a lot of national parks tend to have an appreciation for the environment and our effect on it — we've been told by countless rangers and various signage that every single footstep matters in the long run — so you can bet we appreciate that Nomadix puts such a big focus on eco-friendliness without sacrificing quality or comfort.

Whatever print you go with, you'll be impressed by how soft and absorbent the thing is, how quickly it dries (so it's less likely to develop stinky smells), and the way you can easily shake sand or grass off it so you don't bring seemingly all of the outdoors into your vehicle or home.
