Product Description
The world renowned Lightload Towels are the only towels that are survival tools. Use them as a towel, wash cloth fire starter, first aid supplement, diaper, insulator, static electricity insulator, mask and more. They're great for packing in tight spaces like suitcases and small pouches.
They weigh a mere 141 grams.(approximately the weight of two bandanas) so you'll find them helpful where weight is a concern like in travel or backpacking.
Waterproof packaging covers each piece. Because of this you'll always have a clean dry cloth for good hygiene, personal care and first aid.
The material is 100 percent viscose and made from cellulose(not oil, like microfiber) acts as a sponge and absorbs up to nine times it's weight in water. They are also very energy efficient needing little energy to carry, wash and dispose of. Add water to the towel or start wiping water off of you to soften and open easier. They're very comfortable against the skin and are also great for indoor gyms and spas. In caring for the Lightloads hand washing is best.You can reuse them. They last until they don't.
This beach towels are great gifts and is easily mailed. Colors of the towels are assorted.
You golfers can freeze to make a cold towel.
Being great as a game piece too on rainy days, you can use as a checkerboard piece or puck. Boy Scouts and kid campers love this feature.
Lightload Towels have been written about in many magazines including Climbing Magazine, Bike Magazine and Sailing Magazine and highly regarded by many writers at the British Guild of Travel Writers(BGTW).

I bought two different sizes of these to take to a folk festival where there were no towels provided in the accommodation, I don't do camping! The towels are packed perfectly into tiny packages, so for someone like me who is never knowingly underpacked, that was just what I needed.
They take a little time and work to expand for the first use, I didn't want to soak them, just use them as they came out of the packing to soak up the moisture and tease them out to their full size, but well worth the effort. The larger ones wrapped around me and even though lightweight were perfectly adequate following my shower. However even though the smaller ones were not quite large enough to go round my head to dry my hair (that is partly why I gave them only 4 stars), they were perfect as handtowels. Thst is easily solved I'll just buy another pack of the bigger ones next time!!!! They washed up perfectly on my return, I will take them with me again next time, and buy another pack of the bigger towels for my hair.
OK, they aren't glamourous and luxurious, nor actually the softest material, although they are softer than some of my older well washed towels at home (hence another reason for four stars), however, they really do exactly what they say they will do. So, if you want to dry yourself without having to carry a great big heavy bath towel around, get yourself a set of these, excellent value for money, barely weigh anything and even when unravelled take up no space at all. Oh and they dry really quickly too!

The towels are not very pretty but they are long lasting. I have washed mine in our w/machine several times and towels are still strong. Would recommend for hols.

Not very good looking but do the job nicely. Would recommend for backpackers or any travellers conscious of the weight of their luggage, not suitable for those looking forward to wrap themselves in luxury......
