Abstract: A multi-purpose, quick drying towel is provided is comprised of fabrics that use technologies that enable these fabrics to move moisture by means of accelerating capillary action, or wicking. This wicking process spreads the moisture to the surface area of the towel very quickly, moving the moisture away from the body of the user to the surface of the towel where the moisture is able to quickly evaporate. Other features include a lightweight, space saving feature for packing and travel, an anti-microbial feature so the towel is more hygienic, and/or SPF sun protection.
