1. Red Paddle Co Microfibre towel – $39.00

This great microfibre towel from Red Paddle Co packs down to compact size so it’s easy to store and light to carry. Its soft microfibre fabric is said to absorb up to four times its weight in water, yet it will dry much faster than a regular towel and it has anti-bacterial properties to keep it fresh. Measuring in at a sizeable 80cm by 150cm, this towel is roughly half the weight of a normal towel and it comes with an integrated strap and hanging loop. Available in grey with red trim, it’s perfect for the gym, a day at the beach, or your next trip away.

Available in this eye-catching green colour scheme, the kayak comes with an aluminium paddle, a high-output hand pump, and its own storage bag.
