DESCRIPTION:
A bath towel designed for adventurers who live for long overland journeys, glamping weekends and days spent on the water.
Composed of long, strong and thirsty flax fibers the Lava Classic makes drying off at the end of the day quick and easy.
Embrace the freedom to hang the Lava Classic in your rig, in your gym locker, at your campsite or ball it up wet knowing it won’t cause a stink.
The natural antimicrobial properties, and the hollow fiber structure of linen (aka flax) results in a quick drying, anti-funk towel.
Weighing in at 17 ounces and rolling as small as a 32 ounce water bottle, it’s a luxurious towel ready to be by your side for years to come becoming even more supple, soft and absorbent over time.

Designed with intention:
We spent almost a year searching for linen with the perfect weight and texture for our adventure towels. We knew we wanted a towel that was different, that when you held it in your hand you would immediately recognize its durability and craftsmanship. And that when you used it, you wouldn’t believe how well it absorbed the water and how it just continued to get better over time.

Lava towels are tightly woven with long smooth anti-static fibers so the sand, dirt and leaves remain in the outdoors instead of on your towel, on you, in your pack or in your home.
Flax and hemp are very easy to care for. Simply machine wash your Lava towels in cold water, no hotter than 60 degrees F.
Tumble dry them on low heat or hang them to dry.
To achieve maximum absorbency, avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
It comes down to the very special combination of climate and soil paired with centuries of knowledge and artisanship of local flax growers and scutchers.
Floor mat:
Spread it out across sharp, gravel-laden trailheads or on rocky shores. It will protect your bum and your feet as you change your shoes or take a rest.
Changing curtain:
Hang it up or wrap it around your body for a bit of privacy while you change clothing.
Small blanket:
Linen is thermoregulating. On cooler days, drape your Lava Classic over your shoulders or legs to stay warm.
Sun protector:
The tight, dense weave offers protection from the sun. Drape your Lava Classic over your legs as you paddle or across your shoulders as you take in the views.
Luxurious dog towel:
Dry off your adventurous pup after a day full of play.
In one year, we consume a firefighter's helmet worth of microplastics. Microfibers shed from our synthetic clothing and gear are a significant contributor to the microplastic pollution.

Adventurer Tested. Planet Approved.
Linen and hemp are the strongest plant fibers with many beneficial qualities for the adventurer and the planet.
Flax and hemp require only 3% of the water cotton requires to grow and both are carbon-sink plants.
To go a step beyond, our flax and hemp are Masters of Linen® certified European Flax® which guarantees no pesticides, no artificial irrigation, no GMOs and no defoliants were used or created in the cultivation and production of our flax and hemp.
How do I care for my Classic?
It’s simple! Machine or hand wash in water up to 60 degrees with like colors on a gentle spin. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Remove promptly.
One of the greatest things about hemp and linen textiles is the more you use them the softer and more supple they will become!
Is the Classic quick to dry?
Yes, the Lava Classic dries significantly faster than your average bath towel! It also dries twice as fast as microfiber per ounce of water absorbed.
Is the Classic packable?
Absolutely! The Lava Classic rolls to the size of a 32oz water bottle.
How absorbent is the Classic?
Very! The Lava Classic absorbs up to 22oz of water and up to 50% more water than microfiber towels of the same size!
Will the Classic shrink when washed?
Shrinking will depend largely on how you choose to care for the Classic.
Washing in cold water and drying at a low temperature will nearly eliminate shrinking entirely.
Do I need to wash my Classic before I use it?
Yes. Your Lava towel will be significantly more absorbent after the first wash. Wash with like colors.
What are these fuzzy spots and variations in the weave of my towel?
One of the most prized qualities of linen is the way it reflects nature – perfectly imperfect. Unlike manmade fibers and cellulose fibers like cotton, linen fibers meander from thick to thin with nubs and slubs throughout the textile. The variation enhances the texture and does not affect the integrity of the material.
We look over our linen prior to crafting our towels and after every towel is created to assure there are no variations beyond what is considered natural for linen fiber textiles.
