Are you a fashion consultant? If so, please send me a message. I wore a park ranger uniform and a police uniform for almost a decade and a half. As a result, I have a keen eye for steel-toed boots and cargo pants... but no clue how to put together a non-uniform outfit. Years of wearing a uniform were the inspiration for the Stealth Kula, as there were one too many times where I could have used a Kula at work and didn't have one. Also - it is not fun to try to take off a duty belt in a hurry. Don't ask me how I know.
Boring product description that I'm including out of necessity because otherwise I'd end up telling you park ranger and police stories all day and you'd forget that you were actually on an outdoor gear brand website. I suck at marketing:
This is more than just a cloth. This is the product of years of obsessing over a way to create a pee cloth that solves all of the problems of traditional pee cloth options. It is a real piece of gear (not an afterthought scrap or remnant of fabric) created out of a love for the community of people we serve and love for the wilderness experiences we seek.
Kula is perfect for all of life's adventures... you can even use it at home as a zero waste alternative!
The Kula Cloth™ has these unique features that make it an extremely intentional piece of gear:
- super absorbent (absorbs 10x its weight in water!) and soft
- advanced silver-infused, antimicrobial fabric
- eco-friendly non-toxic materials (Bamboo Viscose, Cotton, Organic Cotton, Polyester)
- durable and waterproof 'clean' side so your hand doesn't get wet
- easily snaps to backpack using plastic snaps
- 'double snap' allows cloth to hang while folded in half (so it doesn't touch pack and/or get dirty on the trail)
- easy to clean or rinse and quick to dry
- retro-reflective thread detail for locating it at night with your headlamp
- size is approx 5.5 x 5.5 inches (note: the stock print Kulas are slightly smaller than the artist series/custom Kulas)
- weight per cloth is .5oz
- proudly made in the USA

Most people considering a Kula Cloth® are already comparing it to stuffing extra toilet paper in a ziplock bag, carrying wet wipes everywhere, or just using whatever bandana or microfiber cloth happens to be nearby. And honestly, those systems can work — but they’re often messy, wasteful, inconvenient, or surprisingly uncomfortable over time.
Kula Cloth® was designed specifically for outdoor hygiene, not repurposed from another category. The absorbent side is antimicrobial and made to be used against skin, while the waterproof side keeps your hand dry and allows the cloth to hang discreetly from the outside of your pack. Unlike toilet paper, it doesn’t disintegrate, blow away, or leave you managing used paper in the woods. Unlike wipes, it doesn’t create constant trash. And unlike generic cloths, it was intentionally built for this exact purpose.
For many people, the biggest difference isn’t just the functionality — it’s how much easier and more confident they feel outside once they stop worrying about hygiene logistics altogether.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Everything you've been wondering about Kula Cloth® — the simple swap that makes peeing outdoors a whole lot easier.
-
Kula Cloth is a reusable, antimicrobial pee cloth made for anyone who squats to pee in the great outdoors. Skip the wad of toilet paper — pat dry with the soft absorbent side, then snap it to the outside of your pack until it's time to rinse or wash. One small swap, a whole lot less fuss.
-
Yes. Kula Cloth® was purpose-built for hygiene, with an antimicrobial, quick-absorbing fabric designed to help keep odor-causing bacteria in check. Like any reusable hygiene essential, it simply needs a regular wash to stay fresh.
-
Most people are genuinely surprised by how little odor there is. The antimicrobial fabric does the heavy lifting, and because the cloth dries quickly, it tends to stay far fresher than you'd expect. Use it hard for several days without a wash, though, and it'll eventually ask for a rinse.
-
As often as feels right for you. On longer trips, some folks give it a quick rinse each day; others go several days between washes. Back home, just toss it in the washing machine and you're set.
-
You absolutely can. But soggy leftover squares, accidental trail litter, and forever restocking get old fast. A reusable system is usually simpler, lighter on waste, and one less thing to think about.
-
You could — but they were never designed for this. Kula Cloth® pairs a waterproof backing, an antimicrobial absorbent layer, a secure snap, and quick-drying materials, all built for discretion and real outdoor use.
-
Not even close. People reach for Kula Cloth® while hiking, camping, road tripping, traveling abroad, at festivals, climbing, paddling, and living the van life — basically anywhere bathrooms are scarce.
-
Then this was practically made for you. Outdoor hygiene feels awkward to almost everyone at first, and Kula Cloth® gives beginners a simple, approachable system that's far easier than wrangling toilet paper in the wild.
-
Yes. Plenty of people use Kula Cloth® alongside cups, discs, pads, period underwear, or tampons outdoors. It isn't meant to replace your menstrual products — think of it as a fresh, dependable part of the kit.
-
For most people, absolutely — because it quietly solves a surprisingly annoying problem. Once you've got a system that's light, easy, and always within reach, going back to packing toilet paper rarely sounds appealing again.
