FLEKZ SIDEKICK TOWEL

RIPPLE Small waves. Big effect. Quick-dry. Packable. Quietly loud.

The Ripple Sidekick Towel is super absorbent, fast-drying, sand-resistant, and artist-designed for people who know impact doesn’t always arrive with a bang.

Some things move outward slowly. A good idea. A better mood. A tiny decision that changes the whole direction of the day. That’s the energy in this one.

SUPER ABSORBENT QUICK-DRY MICROFIBER ANTIMICROBIAL ODOR-RESISTANT COMPACT & LIGHTWEIGHT SAND-RESISTANT 88% RECYCLED POLYESTER ARTWORK BY FLEKZ
What makes it different

A performance towel with a little more depth to it.

It dries fast, packs small, and does everything you need a towel to do—but the real pull is the feeling behind it. This one doesn’t scream. It lingers.

  • Super absorbent and quick-drying Microfiber absorbs moisture fast and dries much faster than typical cotton without turning into a soggy burden.
  • Sand-resistant weave Its smooth microfiber weave holds far less sand, dirt, and grit than cotton terry, so most loose debris shakes off easily.
  • Antimicrobial and odor-resistant Helps resist funk during long days, multi-stop trips, and repeated use.
  • Compact and lightweight Easy to stash in beach bags, backpacks, carry-ons, and gym lockers without hogging all the space.
  • Recycled and durable construction Made with 88% recycled polyester and built for repeat use, regular washing, travel, and long days outside.
  • Original artist collaboration An exclusive Flekz design that feels calm, intentional, and quietly charged with movement.

Already convinced? Weird. Efficient. We respect it.

How it feels

Soft, smooth, and lighter than it looks.

Clean, soft microfiber that dries fast without getting heavy, clingy, or weirdly stiff.

Good on skin. Good in a bag. Good when the day goes longer than expected.

Design story

Ripple.

It’s unclear exactly what form of creative voodoo Flekz channels when he works, but Ripple had us locked in immediately.

A ripple is less about the splash and more about the reach—the way something small keeps traveling long after the moment that made it. Do good, feel good energy. Not corny. Just true.

Questions, Answered

What is the Ripple Sidekick Towel best for?
Beach days, surfing, pool hangs, travel, gym sessions, lake trips, camping, road trips, and everyday drying— especially if you like your gear to feel considered instead of generic.
Does it dry fast?
Yes. Its lightweight microfiber weave dries much faster than a typical cotton towel, making it useful for repeat use, quick turnarounds, travel days, and same-day pack-ups.
Is it sand-resistant?
Yes. Its smooth microfiber weave traps far less sand and grit than cotton terry, so most loose debris shakes off easily, even when the towel is damp.
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 stuffing it wet into a bag and pretending that was a plan.

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.
