Slate Gray - Antibacterial Skagen Towel

100% cotton — no synthetic fibers and no microfibers. The cotton provides a soft, natural feel against the skin, and the texture creates a large surface area that can absorb a lot of water. The towel is OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning it has been tested and is free of harmful substances.

It is designed to dry significantly faster than a standard cotton towel. Hang it up using the elastic loop so that air can circulate on both sides — allowing it to dry quickly again.

StayFresh is a silver-based antibacterial treatment that inhibits the growth of the bacteria that cause bad odors in textiles. The treatment combats 99.9% of bacterial growth in the fabric, keeping the towel fresh between uses — even when you use it for several days in a row without access to a washing machine.

Yes. The treatment is applied during the actual production of the textile and is documented to be effective for the entire lifespan of the product — it does not wash out and does not need to be refreshed.

There is no hard-and-fast rule, but because the treatment prevents odor-causing bacteria from growing, most people can use the towel for several days in a row without it starting to smell. Wash it when it has become dirty — not just because it has been used.

Wash at 30 °C with similar colors. Avoid fabric softener — it leaves a film on the fibers and reduces absorbency. Avoid tumble drying and avoid bleach. Because you can use 30 degrees instead of 60, you save both water and energy over time.

Choose the small one if you are packing ultralight — hiking, bikepacking, training, and carry-on luggage. Choose the large one if you prioritize comfort: beach, campsite, van life, or family use. Many choose the small one for the trip and the large one for the car or the tent.

Microfiber dries quickly, but often feels rubbery against the skin, absorbs less water at a time, and typically loses its properties after a relatively short period. In addition, synthetic fibers shed microplastics when washed. The Adventure Smart Towel is pure cotton: softer against the skin, has a greater water capacity — and it can be wrung out and used again immediately.

Hiking, cycling, bikepacking, camping, climbing, surfing, swimming, fitness and yoga, carry-on travel, festivals and everyday use. It is a towel that is light enough to bring along — and robust enough to last for years.

No. The OEKO-TEX® certification means that the textile has been tested for harmful substances, and the cotton is soft against the skin. The treatment is embedded in the fibers and is not released onto the skin.

It is made to last for years rather than being a disposable product. It typically gets softer with use, and the antibacterial effect remains with the product throughout its life.

The same cotton, the same certification, the same antibacterial treatment — the difference is the weave and weight. Copenhagen is light and waffle-woven (honeycomb): it dries quickly and takes up little space. Skagen is plush in an 800-gram quality: thicker, heavier, and more luxurious to wrap yourself in. In short, Copenhagen for quick drying, Skagen for comfort.

Copenhagen: hand towel 53 × 80 cm and bath towel 80 × 150 cm.

Skagen: washcloth 30 × 30 cm, hand towel 45 × 80 cm and bath towel 76 × 142 cm.

Both series are also available as towel sets.

Far less frequently than regular towels, which are recommended to be washed at 60 degrees after 2-3 uses. StayFresh prevents bacteria from growing, so most people only need to wash them about once a month.

Wash at 30 degrees or colder with a mild detergent, air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which seal the fibers and destroy the absorbency.

No. The treatment is applied during the production of the textile itself and lasts for the lifetime of the product. It does not need to be refreshed.

Yes. The treatment is only active within the material and does not affect the skin's natural bacteria. All products are OEKO-TEX® certified — Skagen under STANDARD 100, certificate no. 10201CIT (Citeve).

No, and that is the whole point. Regular towels get musty because the moisture feeds the bacteria — here, there are no bacteria to feed. Hang the towel spread out rather than folded double, and it will dry the fastest.
