Premium Merino. Trail-Tested Performance.

Merino wool has earned its reputation in the backcountry for good reason. It naturally resists odor, manages moisture exceptionally well, and remains soft against your skin long after synthetic towels begin to smell or feel abrasive.

The tightly knit 180 gsm mesh construction provides the perfect balance of durability, softness, and packability, making it a Trail Rag you'll rely on for countless miles.

Built for the Trail

Every detail was chosen with life outdoors in mind. Reinforced edge binding adds durability without unnecessary weight, while smooth, rounded corners help reduce wear over time. The integrated hanging loop keeps your Trail Rag securely attached to your pack, always within easy reach when you need it.

Whether you're thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring alpine routes in the Rockies, traveling abroad, or spending a weekend at camp, the Zpacks x Glacial Gear Merino Trail Rag is built to perform from the first mile to the last.

Merino vs. Synthetic

Synthetic towels often trap odors, become stiff over time, and can feel rough against your skin. Merino wool naturally resists odor, stays soft, and continues performing without relying on chemical odor-control treatments.

It's a difference you'll appreciate after the first day—and every day that follows.

Designed by Hikers. Built for Wild Places.

Glacial Gear was founded by an outdoor enthusiast who believed there was a better alternative to bulky synthetic camp towels. This exclusive collaboration brings together Glacial Gear's expertise in premium Merino wool and Zpacks' commitment to ultralight backpacking equipment, creating a Trail Rag built for hikers who demand more from every ounce they carry.

SHEEPishly Superior.
