SEBASTIAN KERN SIDEKICK TOWEL

ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT Built for peaks, picnics, and personal breakthroughs.

Love the mountains but hike like a drunk mountain goat in tap shoes? Same.

The Altitude Adjustment Sidekick Towel is built for rocks, roots, trail wheezing, summit snacks, and that moment at the top when everything suddenly feels worth it.

SUPER ABSORBENT QUICK-DRY MICROFIBER ANTIMICROBIAL ODOR-RESISTANT LIGHTWEIGHT & PACKABLE SAND & DIRT-RESISTANT 88% RECYCLED POLYESTER ARTWORK BY SEBASTIAN KERN
What makes it different

This is the towel that actually keeps up with how you live.

Trail dust, summit snacks, car-camping showers, beach days, gym runs, picnic stops, and everything in between. It’s built for the whole story, not just the hero shot at the top.

  • Super absorbent and quick-drying Absorbs water and sweat fast and dries much faster than typical cotton, so it’s less likely to still be damp when you get back to the trailhead.
  • Lightweight and compact Folds down small for hiking packs, travel bags, van shelves, and gym lockers without hogging space.
  • Antimicrobial and odor-resistant Helps it stay fresher between washes, even when your climbing shoes absolutely do not.
  • Dirt and sand-resistant weave Its smooth microfiber surface holds far less dirt, sand, and trail dust than cotton terry, so most loose debris shakes off easily.
  • Recycled and durable construction Made with 88% recycled polyester and built to handle daily adventures, parking-lot tailgates, and repeat wash cycles.
  • Original artist design Bold mountain-inspired artwork that looks just as good at the summit as it does on your bathroom hook.

Already convinced? Weird. Efficient. We respect it.

How it feels

Soft on tired legs. Easy on sunburned shoulders.

Smooth, soft microfiber that feels light wherever you unroll it.

No crunchy hotel-towel stiffness. No heavy, soggy drag. Just quick-drying comfort after the climb, the swim, or the long drive back.

Design inspiration

Summit feels and trail fails.

Created by Sebastian Kern , Altitude Adjustment celebrates every stage of the climb—from “why did we do this?” to “oh, this is why we did this.”

Sometimes all you need is a little perspective, a better towel, and maybe a snack.

Questions, Answered

What is the Altitude Adjustment Sidekick Towel best for?
Hiking, camping, summit hangs, picnics, road trips, van life, mountain lakes, beach days, gym showers, and any everyday adventure where you need a towel that pulls its weight without taking up much space.
Does it dry fast?
Yes. Its lightweight microfiber weave dries much faster than a typical cotton towel, making it useful for repeat swims, trail sessions, travel days, and same-day pack-ups.
Is it sand and dirt-resistant?
Yes. Its smooth microfiber surface traps far less sand, dirt, and trail dust than cotton terry, so most loose debris brushes or shakes off easily before you pack it.
What is it made from?
It is made from 88% recycled polyester and 12% nylon. The microfiber blend is soft, absorbent, quick-drying, lightweight, and built for repeat use.
Will it smell?
Its antimicrobial, odor-resistant construction helps it stay fresher between washes, especially when you let it dry completely instead of trapping it in a damp pack or gear bin.

Stuff people ask us

Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know about the towel you’re about to take absolutely everywhere.

01 What makes Happy Faced towels different?

Happy Faced towels are made for sweat, dirt, sand, water, workouts, road trips, beach days, and wherever else you end up. They’re lightweight, absorbent, quick-drying, easy to pack, and covered in original artwork instead of hotel beige.

02 What are they made of?

Magic. Well, almost. They’re made from high-performance microfiber containing 88% recycled materials. It’s soft, highly absorbent, lightweight, durable, and built to dry much faster than a bulky cotton towel.

03 Do they dry fast?

Very. The microfiber construction spreads moisture across more surface area, helping the towel release water and dry considerably faster than a traditional cotton towel.

04 Are they good for travel?

Absolutely. Happy Faced towels are lightweight, compact, quick to dry, and easy to stuff into a carry-on, backpack, gym bag, van, or questionably packed weekend bag.

05 Can I use one at the beach?

That’s one of their natural habitats. The smooth microfiber construction is sand-resistant, so sand shakes off more easily instead of following you home and moving into your car permanently.

06 Are they eco-friendly?

They’re made with 88% recycled materials and require less space, water, and energy to wash and dry than a heavy cotton towel. They’re also designed to last, because replacing your towel every few months is dumb.

07 Do they resist odors?

Their fast-drying construction gives moisture and mildew less time to settle in. Hang the towel up between uses and it stays fresher much longer than a damp cotton towel abandoned in a heap.

08 Are they machine washable?

Yep. Machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip the bleach, dryer sheets, and fabric softener because they can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency.

09 What sizes do they come in?

Small, Medium, and Large. The Small is great for workouts and daily carry. The Medium handles travel, surfing, and everyday use. The Large gives you full beach-towel coverage and enough room to become a human burrito. See the towel size guide for the full breakdown.

10 How much water can they absorb?

More than four times their own weight in water. Which is impressive for something that packs down small enough to stop ruining the rest of your bag.

A woman in a white bikini stands on a rocky beach, holding up a large blue beach towel with a colorful abstract design and bold white text. The towel is caught in the breeze, billowing behind her. She is smiling and looking toward the ocean, with the bright blue sea and white-capped waves stretching into the horizon. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, creating a vibrant and peaceful beach atmosphere.
