Freshness in the Palm of Your Hand.

Looking for the ultimate way to stay fresh on your outdoor adventures? Whether you're deep in the mountains, hitting the slopes, or just surviving a weekend without running water, PACT Outdoors Wipes are here to save your hygiene (and your dignity). Compact, chemical-free, and ridiculously effective, these wipes are a game-changer for guys who love the outdoors but hate feeling grimy. Our crew got our hands (palms), pits, and rear-ends on a set of Pact Outdoors Wipes and put them to the test—camping in the local terrain of Idaho, snowboarding all day at Bogus Basin, and tackling the great outdoors in all its messy glory- to see if they really work. Spoiler alert: these wipes are a must-have.

TL;DR Pact Outdoors Body Wipes

PACT Outdoors Wipes are the ultimate hygiene solution for camping, snowboarding, and any outdoor adventure. They’re compact, chemical-free, and expand into a durable, eco-friendly towel with just a splash of water. We tested them on a weekend camping and a full day on the slopes—result? Fresh, clean, and no lingering grime. They’re tougher than TP, safer than regular wet wipes, and way more convenient. If you love the outdoors but hate the headache of knowing when you’ll feel and smell clean again, these wipes are a must-have.

The Outdoor Hygiene Dilemma

Let’s be real—staying clean while adventuring outdoors is a challenge. Whether you're deep in the backcountry, car camping with the family, or spending a full day carving down snowy slopes, keeping fresh is usually an afterthought. We’ve all been there: greasy sunscreen face, post-lunch sticky fingers, a bathroom situation that leaves you questioning life choices. Traditional wet wipes? Clunky, chemical-laden, and not built for the outdoors. Regular TP? A disaster waiting to happen. Enter PACT Outdoors Wipes—a game-changer for the modern outdoor enthusiast.

What Makes PACT Wipes Different?

PACT isn’t just throwing another wet wipe into the mix; they’re reinventing outdoor hygiene. Their wipes are compressed and dehydrated—they start as a compact little disc, saving space and weight in your pack, and transform into a full-fledged towel with just a squirt of water. No artificial fragrances, no harsh chemicals, and no gross residue. Just a 100% plant-based, OEKO-TEX certified, eco-friendly way to clean up without wrecking your skin or the environment.

The Problem: Too much poop.

There. we said it. There seems to be way too much poop in the Back Country due to hikers, campers, and, well anyone who poops (and according to this book- Everybody Poops). With the increase of added poop in the Back Country- it causes an issue with how that poop breaks down- and how fast. Pact then comes on scene and through their scientific approach to “PACT tabs”, the harmful pathogens like E.coli is eliminated and converts "poop” into nutrients.

Not to mention- for those hiking, camping, or going into the Back Country, the use of toilet paper is increasingly harmful to nature and the beautiful outdoors. TP contains harmful chemicals that can take up to 2 years to breakdown in the Back Country.

PACT offers solutions to help- with plant based materials and absent of harmful chemicals, these wipes are designed to be near-fully decomposed in just 75 days.

PACT offers two types of wipes:

PACT Bathroom Wipes (9-inch towel): Ideal for ahem bathroom business, but also great for general clean-up.
PACT Body Wipes (12-inch towel): Bigger, thicker, and perfect for getting rid of a full day’s worth of dirt, sweat, and adventure grime.

Now that we know the purpose of PACT and the solve they are aiming to fix with their wipes, let’s break down our experience with their wipes!

Field Test #1: Camping Weekend in Idaho

We packed (no pun intended) a bag of PACT Body Wipes and PACT Bathroom Wipes for a two-day camping trip in Idaho, knowing full well that showers weren’t an option-intentionally.

Morning Freshness:

Waking up in a tent means you probably ain’t smelling your best-with a bit of morning face grease, and possibly the lingering scent of last night's campfire you quickly smell like you’ve been sleeping outside. A quick splash of water (not a lot is needed) on a PACT Body Wipe, and boom—instant refresh. No sticky, soapy feel like with other wet wipes. Just a clean, natural, fresh feeling that got us ready for the day.

Post-Hike Cleanup:

After an 8-mile hike with elevation gain, our crew was covered in sweat and dust. Normally, that means either hanging out with the build up of sweat and dirt until bedtime or jumping into a freezing mountain stream (not fun this time of year) to try and freshen up. While a cold plunge is healthy, not all crew members were down for this freshen up. But with a PACT Body Wipe, it was like having a mini shower in the middle of the wilderness. One wipe was enough to handle the grime on our face, arms, and legs—plus, it actually felt nice on the skin. No weird chemical smells, no dryness afterward. Just clean.

The Real Test: Bathroom Duty

If you've ever had to go in the woods, you know that regular TP can be a nightmare—thin, easily torn, and honestly not that effective. The PACT Bathroom Wipes unfolded into a thick, durable towel that made cleanup easy. Simply get them a bit wet, then wipe, and toss in a brief hole in the ground. You don’t need to dig a massive hole either. Just enough to bury the full towel is enough. Fun Fact- PACT has a kit that you can carry the wipes and a mini shovel to help handle the biz:

Field Test #2: Snowboarding All Day

Winter sports are their own beast when it comes to hygiene. You’re sweating under all those layers, getting hit with wind and snow, and may occasionally need to hit the back-side of a mountain to tend to nature’s call. We packed PACT Wipes for a full day on the slopes to see if they could keep us fresh between runs.

Lunchtime Cleanup:

You ever eat a burger with snowboard gloves? Yeah, neither do we. But bare-handed eating means sticky fingers, and snow alone doesn’t cut it. Enter PACT Bathroom Wipes—a quick splash of water, and we had a durable, chemical-free wet towel to clean up before heading back out. No greasy residue, no annoying fragrance, just clean hands ready to grip the board again.

Après-Ski Refresh:

By the end of the day, we smelled like sweat, and the sheer amount of stank coming from our pits after a full day of runs- we needed a refresh before heading down the windy hill back home. Clearly nobody is going to shower before the ride home, but a crew packed car after a day of boarding- it ain’t the smell you want to be stuck with. One wipe dabbed with some freshly melted powder was enough to tackle face sweat, neck grime, and pit stank residue. No need to stink up the car on the drive home.

Final Verdict: Worth It?

100%. PACT Wipes are the best outdoor hygiene solution we’ve tried. They pack small, work insanely well, and don’t leave you smelling like a chemical experiment. Whether you’re deep in the woods, shredding the slopes, or just need a reliable wipe for road trips, these are a must-have.

Pros:

✔ Compact and lightweight—great for any pack ✔ No harmful chemicals—safe for skin & the planet ✔ Thick, durable, and effective ✔ Decomposes fully in 75 days ✔ No sticky residue or overpowering scents

Cons:

❌ Need to carry a small water bottle or water source for activation (but hey, you're probably carrying one anyway) ❌ Slightly more expensive than traditional wipes (but totally worth it for the quality)

Simply grab a tab, add a dash of water, and let that expanded tab do its thing.
Yo we have never smelt better….after using non traditional hygiene methods of course.
These do not solve all the issues with Back Country environmental impact but hey they do way more than what most probably are using.
