Kawasaki K1F07-D7021 Sports Towel White Green

A badminton bag fills up fast: rackets, shoes, a change of kit, shuttles, a bottle, a spare shirt. The towel comes last on the list and very often stays at home — because it's thick, heavy and "you'll manage without it".

The Kawasaki K1F07-D7021 solves that through its format. At 100 × 30 cm in microfibre, it rolls into a bundle about the thickness of your wrist and fits in a bag's side pocket, taking up none of the space meant for equipment. 🏸

It's a towel you bring because you don't have to think about it.

📐 Why 100 × 30 cm specifically

The format isn't arbitrary — it's the tournament standard, and it follows from how the towel actually gets used.

The 100 cm length lets you drape the towel over your neck and grab both ends, which is the most practical way to wipe your face between rallies. It's also enough to wrap around your neck during a break between games.

The 30 cm width is the minimum needed to clear your face and neck effectively, and simultaneously the maximum at which the towel still rolls tightly enough for a small pocket.

For comparison: a cotton sports towel typically measures 100 × 40 cm and takes up roughly twice the space when rolled, at noticeably more weight.

⚡ Microfibre, or fast drying in practice

The material is 100% polyester in microfibre form. The fibres are many times finer than cotton ones, so vastly more of them fit into the same area. Water becomes trapped between the fibres rather than penetrating them — which is why the towel releases it as readily as it takes it up.

The practical outcome: the towel dries in tens of minutes, not over half a day. At a tournament with three matches in a day, you start each one with a dry towel. After training it doesn't go back into the bag wet, so it doesn't develop odour.

The surface is smooth, close to suede in the hand — without the loops that characterise terry.

🌿 A green "K" on white

The large green "K" running across half the towel's length and the KAWASAKI SINCE 1915 logo are sublimation-printed, penetrating the fibre structure. It isn't a surface layer, so there's nothing to flake away.

Green on white is also practical: less loud than red, yet clearly visible when the towel is lying on a bench among other people's kit.

🏃 Not just for the court

Its format and weight take this towel well beyond the sports hall:

The gym 💪 — draped over a machine or used to wipe down a bench; many clubs require you to bring your own towel, and this one takes up no locker space.

Running 🏃 — rolled up, it fits in a running belt or a small pack.

Travel ✈️ — light and small enough that it needs no consideration when packing hand luggage.

Pool and sauna 🏊 — fast drying is a bigger advantage there than anywhere else.

👥 Who is this towel for?

👉 Players packing for a tournament 🎒 — bag space is always at a premium

👉 Anyone training several days running ⚡ — fast drying limits damp and odour

👉 Gym users 💪 — compact and to hand, fits in a locker

👉 Travellers ✈️ — a fraction of the space a cotton towel takes

👉 Anyone preferring an understated colourway 🌿 — green rather than vivid red

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Kawasaki K1F07-D7021

📏 Is 100 × 30 cm enough?
For sports use, yes. The format lets you drape the towel over your neck and grab both ends, which covers your face, neck, hands and forearms. It isn't a bath towel, though — for drying off after a shower you'll want something larger.

🎒 How much space does it take rolled up?
It rolls into a bundle roughly the thickness of your wrist and fits in the side pocket of a badminton bag. By comparison, a 100 × 40 cm cotton towel takes about twice the space when rolled and weighs noticeably more.

🧵 Is this a cotton towel?
No. It's 100% polyester in microfibre form. If you're after cotton terry, the right choice is the K1F07-D7020 in a 100 × 40 cm format — also in our range.

⚡ How quickly does it dry?
Typically within tens of minutes, depending on air humidity. That's many times faster than cotton, and the main reason microfibre dominates tournament sport and travel.

💧 Is microfibre absorbent?
Yes, though differently from cotton. Water becomes trapped between the fibres rather than penetrating them. In a single pass microfibre lifts slightly less water than thick terry, but it releases it far faster — so it's ready to use again moments later.

🎨 Will the print wear off?
Sublimation printing penetrates the fibre structure, so there's no layer that could crack or flake. Washing at 30–40°C preserves the colour for a long time. Avoid high temperatures and bleach.

🧼 How should I wash microfibre?
Wash at 30–40°C on a synthetics programme. Don't use fabric softener — it coats the fibres with a layer that blocks their action and permanently reduces absorbency. Don't tumble dry or iron. Wash it separately from cotton, since microfibre attracts cotton lint.

🎨 Which colours is this model available in?
The manufacturer offers three versions: white and green (this listing), white and red, and white and blue. All share identical specifications and differ only in print colour.

🏊 Is it suitable for the pool?
Yes — fast drying is particularly useful there. Just rinse the towel in clean water after contact with chlorinated water; chlorine weakens the fibres of any material over time.
