The product that started it all….
Thousands of miles. One simple rag.
This is the original Merino wool Trail Rag trusted by hikers on the AT, PCT, CDT, and beyond. Made from 100% Merino wool fabric imported from New Zealand and hand-sewn by us in Taylors, South Carolina. It’s your all-purpose backcountry cloth—sweat rag, pot holder, trail towel, and more.
Choose your size:
• Small – designed for speed, sweat and simplicity
• Medium – sized for versatility without compromise
• Large – perfect when you need more surface, not more weight
What makes it perfect for long hauls? Merino’s natural resistance to bacteria and odor. Unlike synthetic or cotton rags ours won't turn sour after a few sweaty days. You can use it again and again without worrying about nasty buildup—an essential edge when showers are rare and hygiene is survival.
Each Trail Rag comes with a reinforced loop for easy clipping to your backpack, so it’s always close at hand and air-drying while you hike. No stuffing it in a pocket. No soggy surprises Just grab, wipe, and keep moving.
Trail smart. Pack light. Stay fresh.
Simply hand wash/lay flat to dry. (Off trail, feel free to machine wash using a “delicates” cycle and tumble dry on low)
