Bauer Blade Towel

While any cloth can wipe away water, the Bauer Premium Blade Towel is constructed from a denser, more absorbent material designed specifically to wick moisture away from steel edges quickly. This helps prevent rust more effectively than standard cotton towels, which often just push water around.

It is designed to handle the moisture from a full set of blades without becoming saturated immediately. However, like any absorbent gear, it will eventually need to be air-dried between sessions to maintain its effectiveness.

Yes, the texture of the fabric is engineered to grab and lift debris, including slush and light tape residue, from the blade surface. It provides a cleaner wipe than a standard rag, ensuring your edges are clear for the next time you hit the ice.

You can machine wash it with your regular hockey base layers. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave a residue on the towel that might transfer to your blades and affect your grip on the ice.

It is designed primarily for quick, post-game wiping rather than long-term storage. While you can wrap it around the blades, it is best used as a tool to dry them thoroughly before you put your skate guards on.
