It is light and compact (weighs only 50g) making it very portable.
We love packing them in my bag going to the beaches, camping. You can even wear it around your neck which can absorb sweat and protect your skin from direct sunlight!
Moku is not only the towel you want to have in your bathroom but the towel you want to grab to go.
