The product that started it all….

Decide which size and color of our Premium New Zealand sourced 100% Merino wool Trail Rag suits you best. While many hikers may choose the large as a towel to dry off after bathing or other uses that require more surface area yet still conveniently attaches to the pack, the smaller size will appeal to climbers and trail runners or anyone that just wants a more minimal Trail Rag while our medium hits the sweet spot right in between. Whether it is used to wipe sweat away while hiking or to grab the handle of your hot cook pot, we know you’ll find multiple uses for it along your way. Merino wool’s natural antimicrobial properties and it’s ability to resist retaining nasty odors make it the perfect fabric choice for your endless days on the trail. Attach the loop to your pack and away you go! We hand-cut, sew & assemble each item individually right here in northern Illinois. Happy trails!

Simply hand wash/lay flat to dry. (Off trail, feel free to machine wash using a “delicates” cycle and tumble dry on low)

Best company great product.

I’ve been searching for a good cloth for backpacking instead of cotton. This is the best clipped on my backpack and use it for sweat or rinsed off and on my neck to stay cool. Plus the customer service is very responsive. The first one I ordered was not the size I thought and it was quickly replaced no hassle. This company has been the best I have worked with in a long time. Thanks, Terry.

A beautiful item - which awaits the next trip on the trail

An item which feels and responds with quality and a long future of awaited use is such a joy on the trail. I just finished a couple of leisurely nights backpacking over 32 miles, and at the end of each of the nights I noted the items which imbue those characteristics of quality and durability versus those which do not.

The technology doesn't do it - it's not going to be the headlamp, it's not your stove - but for me merino wool will do it every time. Bring this over a synthetic/course alternative every day. Make a special point to enjoy the items you bring that provide joy. Even the colors are thoughtfully picked to connect with you. I couldn't recommend this simple item more.

They shouldn’t even be called rags. I can’t recommend them enough! I have waited so long for something like this to resurface and it finally has. These have endless uses, are incredibly soft and will last a long time if cared for properly. They are lightweight, yet absorbent. I ordered the large and medium. They both fold up and make great edc pocket type hanks. Now I need a few smalls as well. Worth every penny, so buy it because you won’t regret it! I hope the blanket is the exact same material.
