Nomadix Towels: No More Smelly, Dirty Towels while Traveling

By Ann Binlot Published May 15, 2020

Have you ever been on out camping or on the beach, or like me this week, camping on a beach? If you had to bring your own towel, then you’ll know exactly what I went through.

I don’t mind roughing it, and since I didn’t have that much space in my bag, I brought just one towel, meant to last me for a few nights of camping out on the beach. By day, I used it to sit on and dry off, and by night, it would dry on a tree. By the end of the third day, that thing smelled. Like really badly. I wish I had a towel that could have stayed fresh and clean the whole time.

Too bad I didn’t have a Nomadix towel. It had all the ideal features of the towel that I needed. It’s made out of 100 percent recycled material, and it’s good for camping, the beach, and even to towel off after yoga. It’s also quick dry, antimicrobial, and way more packable than that thick beach towel I had with me while I camped out on the white-sand, crystal-clear tourquoise-watered Flamenco Beach in Puerto Rico. It’s also super absorbent, reversible, light weight, durable, and for those of us who hate that musty smell, quick drying!

And for those of you who like to have a little personal touch on your camping or beach towel, the Nomadix towel has a number of designs, colors and patterns for you to choose from a cool palm desert print, to earthy Baja stripes. Now I just have to get one so that next time I’m camping on the beach I’m stuck with a dirty towel that smells like something I would not want to put near my body. Now I just need to decide on which Nomadix towel to get.

Camping just got a lot easier … with a shoe organizer?

Here's how a shoe organizer can make your camping trip great

Shoe organizer

Camping is all about adventure and relaxation, but nothing ruins the experience faster than a messy campsite. If you've ever found yourself rummaging through bags for your flashlight or struggling to keep your hygiene items off the ground, a hanging shoe organizer can help.

Personally, I love shoe organizers. As someone who lives in a shoebox apartment, they are an absolute must to keep my shoes tidy and tucked away. But believe it or not, they are actually pretty handy at keeping the chaos at bay when you go camping, too. Here's everything you need to know about camping with a shoe organizer.

Helinox reimagined its OG packable camp chair (again) with the Chair One (re)

Even stronger, more stable, and more eco-friendly, this is the last camp chair you may ever need to buy.

Packable camp furniture (everything from chairs to tables to folding camp sofas) is so ubiquitous in the loadouts of almost every backpacker, car camper, and overlander these days. Improving on such a simple concept might seem impossible, but that's exactly what the good folks at Helinox have done with their latest Chair One (re) camp chair.

Helinox, the California brand that singlehandedly kicked off the packable camp furniture craze with the debut of the Chair One, has reimagined and redesigned it as the Chair One (re). This latest iteration adds a number of improvements, including dual-tension technology. It's essentially a second tension line within the chair's perimeter that better distributes weight for improved stability and comfort. The company further redesigned the nylon resin hubs and a 30% taller underseat crossbar. The result? It's much easier to get in and out of, plus there's no more wobbling on soft sand beaches and uneven campsite ground. The new Chair One High-Back (re) offers the same improvements, plus better shoulder and upper-back support.

The Naledi is a tiny teardrop travel trailer that’s surprisingly big on views

With matching "floor-to-ceiling" windows, this pint-sized towable offers more panoramic views than most.

It's getting hard for even the best teardrop travel trailers to stand apart from the crowd these days. That's why Naledi Campers decided to go big with its namesake model, with some of the biggest and best views of any pint-sized towable on the market.

The most standout feature of the Naledi Camper is also its most visible. The South African RV maker bookends its design with two large, nearly floor-to-ceiling glass windows — one on either side of the cabin. Unlike traditional teardrop trailers that can feel dark and cramped, the Naledi offers more than twice the glass. This ensures a bright, airy interior with panoramic views of whatever epic campsite you happen to be overnighting at. Two awnings are included, one with drop-down sides for extra privacy.
