Lava Linens 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.
Hypoallergenic, antistatic and without the chemicals microfiber is laced with, your skin will love the instant yet gentle sweat and water absorption experience.
Instead of setting your keys and sunglasses amongst the rocks at the river's edge, hook them on your towel!
“…1,000 metric tons of microplastics fall on 11 protected areas in the US annually. That’s the equivalent to over 120 million plastic water bottles.”
Matt Simon. “Plastic Rain is the New Acid Rain.” Wired Magazine. June 11, 2020.
Synthetic textiles, including microfiber, are largely to blame.
By simply choosing a Lava Linens towel instead of a synthetic towel, you’ll prevent up to 12 credit cards worth of microplastics from polluting our planet.
Simply machine wash your Lava Linens towels in cold water, no hotter than 60 degrees F.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
To achieve maximum absorbency, avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets.

While microfiber is made from petroleum and contains thousands of chemicals known to harm human health, hemp and lyocell come from easy to grow, climate-friendly plants.
Hemp is a regenerative carbon-sink plant, requiring up to 40x less water than cotton to grow.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have gained a commendable reputation for their environmentally responsible, closed loop production process, which transforms sustainably sourced wood pulp into cellulosic fibers with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact.
Up to 22 million tons of plastic microfibers are expected to enter the ocean between 2015 and 2050.
Plastic microfibers contain carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals. They also harbor and spread bacteria and viruses affecting even the most pristine corners of the planet.
How do we prevent this pollution? We adventure with plant fiber gear instead of synthetic (aka plastic) fiber gear.
It’s simple! Machine or hand wash in cold water up to 60 degrees on a gentle spin with like colors. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Remove promptly.
Yes! The Travera towels dry just as fast as most microfiber towels and significantly faster than cotton towels.
Absolutely! The hand towel weighs a mere 1.9oz and folds down tiny. The bath sheet weighs only 7.6oz and rolls down to the size of a soda can.
Very! They absorb the same amount of water as microfiber towels while offering a much better drying experience. They also absorb more water than cotton per ounce of fiber.
Slightly. The dimensions we list are approximately what you can expect after washing in cold water and drying on low heat.
Yes. You'll notice a significant improvement in absorbency after the first wash. And while the Travera starts out soft, you'll notice it will become even softer the more you use it and wash it. Wear it in!
