About this item
- 100% Lyocell
- COMPRESSED FOR EASY STORAGE, REUSABLE AND LIGHT WEIGHT FOR TRAVEL: If you spend a lot of time on the go, traveling; hiking and camping, saving weight and space in your travel bag, backpack, camping or hiking gear matters. Our hand towel is so light weight at .5oz. We vacuum pack it to a mini tablet coin size which space saves for other packables, like food, water and survival gear. It can also be used over and over to clean, wipe and dry.
- SUPERB CLOTH: Our towels are made of award winning Lyocell It’s not microfiber but derived from sustainable wood and plant scraps that are breathable, hypoallergenic and burnable. Our camp towels are a wash cloth or a wipe, always clean, fresh in the package and fast drying. A waterproof layer was added to the package so you can swim across the lake and open to a dry towel. Wash the cloth? Just pack in a pocket or mesh camp bag, throw in the machine and clean.
- MULTIUSE: Lightload Towels were created as a cleaning towel for long distance hiker’s personal care. In time we found they offered more. They are great for first aid as bandages, emergency care as blankets, tactical gear as fire starters, Protective gear for static electricity, and remedies for skin irritations. They store easily in your backpack and luggage also in survival bags and bug out kits, Hunters, fishermen, boy scouts, golfers, cyclists, preppers, gym goers all use the towels.
- SUPER ABSORBENT QUICK DRY & HYGIENIC: Lightload Towels have superb water management properties. These Swim towels absorb more than 9.5 times their weight. Cotton and microfiber towels don’t come close to this feat. It’s also the excellent water management that wicks water away from your body keeping you cool in the warm and warm in cool weather.
- SOOTHING ON SKIN: Even the best hikers and backpackers have emergencies. That’s why a Lightload multipurpose towel is a must to prepare. It’s compressed so forget about it until you open to a clean dry cloth. It’s a bio-based fabric made from plants and wood and can be a cure all for many emergencies. Many of earth’s medicines and remedies come from plants and wood. I’ve personally soothed excruciating nettle stings with just applying the dry cloth to the pain.

Wow! That's a Towel?
Wow! That’s a towel? You got to be kidding me. A full-size beach towel that fits in your pocket, unbelievable! Ten to 20 hand towels the weight of a bandana that fit in your purse with room to spare. Come on, What’s the catch? There is none. Advances in material science have been pushing the boundaries as to what is possible and we’ve rode that wave to produce the smallest, lightest most energy efficient towels all with travelers in mind. We’re the originals with over twenty years doing this. Lightload Towels, however, only remain small until you decide to open one. Add water or start wiping water off you then behold, they unfold to a supersize reusable towel. On the other hand, our waterproof round and water-resistant square shape cute packaging, makes you want to keep them packed until you absolutely need them. Oh, and they absorb like a sponge, much more than any other towel material, wick water from your body for cool and heat and quick dry. There’s more to make this purchase worthwhile. Lightload Towels can be used as first aid, static electricity insulation, tinder, padding, a mask and more. Lightload Towels come in three sizes: beach size 30x60” 4.5oz, hand size three pack 12x24” .5oz and Hand size two pack and display box 12x12”.2oz.

They absorb multiple times their weight in liquid and can be wrung out with one hand by crumpling it up inside a closed fist. I initially bought them to try out camping but now use them everywhere:
Places to use these:
Camping or backpacking: Will completely replace paper towels. When we go camping every one gets two - one to use as a napkin and to dry dishes with and one to use as a body and face towel. If they get dirty they can be washed completely clean with a tiny amount of soap. They dry very quickly. A small piece can also be cut off and used as a fire-starter - when dry they burn very well and long enough to get small kindling going.
In the kitchen. Can replace paper towels for almost everything and can be reused at least 100 times or more
In the bathroom: as a hand and body towel. It removes the vast majority of water from the skin. Whatever is left can be quickly taken care of with a regular cotton towel. One of the advantages of this is that the cotton towels will then dry very fast because there is hardly any water in them.
At the pool or the beach: as a spare towel or primary towel: can allow you to keep a cotton towel very dry for lounging on or laying out , etc. And you wont have to pack an extra bulky towel.
Traveling: I keep two in my shaving kit. One unwrapped and "in use" and one as a spare. Combine this with small hand towel and you eliminate any need to pack a full size towel.
In the car: You never need an emergency towel in the car until you need an emergency towel in the car. These take up almost no space and are ready instantly when you need them
By the door: For people feet, for doggie feet and doggie bodies. For anything that comes inside and has that rain stuff on it.
In short these things are like sprinkles on a cupcake - you can't have too many!
Some pro tips:
1. The towel will open up easier if you wet it down first after taking the wrapper off.
2. It will last longer if you use it gently and not to scrub things with - it's a towel not a scouring pad. In a pinch though you can certainly use it as a scouring pad and it will hold up to many repeated uses - it just won't last as long as if you used it more gently
This is similar to the review I posted for the 12x12 Lightload towels , either size is great. Lightload Towels Two Pack (12x12" Hand Size 100% Lyocell)
One issue with delivery - the seller shipped it with a signature required, which caused a bit of a pain arranging for the post office to hold it so I could go sign for it since I won't take time off work to pick up an item worth less than the wages lost. Otherwise, highly recommend - just maybe from a different vendor unless they change their shipping.
Pros:
1) They work! - I've used these types of expandable towels before, and they would crack or split upon adding water. All three of the towels in my package expanded perfectly!
2) Fantastic size - not only is the expanded size accurate to the product description, but this brand offers multiple size options for any application you may have in mind. The small nature of the dehydrated version is a dream for anyone looking to shave extra space off of their packing duties.
3) bright color - having the bright colors allows these to also function as a "safety flag" in circumstances that you may need to signal someone.
4) unbeatable price - I have been unable to find a single seller that sells these types of towels at a lower price per unit.
5) biodegradable - there's nothing better than a biodegradable product for the avid outdoors-person. Practical and responsible = win/win.
Cons:
1) not meant for many uses - this is an obvious sacrifice that you make in order for all of the other pros that you get, but it's important to note that you're not going to be using these for years (or even months) to come. You can wash them, and though the product is advertised as being able to go through a washer machine, I would only ever hand wash these. I usually use these in a single-use type of way anyways, but at this price, you're really not losing, AT ALL!
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend these towels and will definitely be re-purchasing for years to come.

El tacto es algo diferente, se parece mas a papel que a tela.
Pero funcionan, que es lo interesante.
No le doy 5 estrellas, por que me parece un producto muy caro.
theyre good enough to use a couple of times, and are good enough for use in survival situatuions.
Je recommande vivement ce produit. Génial.
