It solves some of the most crucial issues that backpackers and travelers face like space in a pack and weight. At only 5 oz. it is the lightest towel ounce for ounce, and you already know it fits in a pocket.

They are made from Lyocell and help sustain the environment by being made from wood and plant chips which can be disposed of easily and packaged in such way that you can well preserve them until you're ready to use. The towels are also good for cooling and insulation. Lightload Towels can further be used as first aid, static electricity insulation, tinder, padding, a mask and more.

We do have three sizes in both the extra strength and originals 12 x24” the 12x12” and the 36x60.” They come in packs of one two-, three-, four-, and 50-piece boxes.
