Product Information

With a durable design, minimal care (you should clean it regularly to keep it from collecting mold), and easy storage (most shammies come with a plastic case), the shammy is a no-brainer for swimmers who want to stay dry when they aren’t in the pool collecting medals and dominating their personal best times. The original shammy was made from the skin of the chamois: A goat-like animal traditionally found in Europe and western Asia. In the 1970s, Japan produced a chamois made of a poly-synthetic material. The modern shammy (or aqua-towel) is made of this material. y also comes in double the width, at 26”x17.” Although the shammy is larger than your usual, it is still far smaller than a regular cotton swim towel. Cotton is much heavier and takes a long time to dry compared to microfiber. It can be more absorbent and softer. The feel is often the best part of a cotton towel. Many bathroom towels are made from cotton, so lightweight camping towels are not too often involved in their construction.

When home, pop the dirty dog towel into your washing machine and wash on a delicate cycle, using a gentle laundry detergent. Washing on vigorous cycle or using harsh washing powder can damage the microfibers. Also avoid using fabric softeners. Micro fiber is the most common choice for camping towels nowadays. Since the fibers are so much closer together and higher in number than other fabrics, it has a higher absorbency. Typically, microfiber fabric is made of a mixture of polyester and polyamide or nylon. Some examples of microfiber cloths on the list include the Rainleaf Microfiber Towel and the Sunland Microfiber Camping Towel. To avoid mildew, and to keep your shammy smelling and performing its best: Clean it regularly. To clean a shammy, place it in a washing machine with traditional detergent, or hand wash it with soap and warm water. Just make sure to never place your shammy in a dryer! This will damage the absorbency of the material, and ruin your product. Variety of Products There are four primary materials that camping towels are made from, including microfiber, cotton, bamboo, and linen.After mopping your pooch, wring the microfiber pet towel to remove as much water as possible. Twist and wring in one direction and then the other to squeeze the water out. The brand has a line of bright travel towels inspired by National Parks that change the meaning of being one with nature. The four designs depict scenes from the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Joshua Tree, and the Smoky Mountains (we don't think it's too spot on to bring on a trip there, don't worry), They come in a comparatively extra-large size (72 x 30 inches), so it might be too big for those who are really eyeing every square inch. It's made with GRS-certified post-consumer recycled plastic, which makes the towel durable and sand-resistant. Small, durable, and awesome at sponging water, shammy’s are an essential piece of gear for every swimmer’s gear bag. It doesn't dry in that hard, scratchy way that some towels do, either—it’s super soft and ready to go for the next time. The downside is it’s not antimicrobial treated, so be sure to hang it out so it doesn’t mildew.

The shammy first started making its appearance in diving in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Divers from Norway and other European countries were using the shammy to dry off their bodies. This unique product — not nearly as bulky as a traditional towel — was a hit in the diving world, and has remained a staple ever since.
