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 pack down to 1.5 in diameter and 5.75in girth and 1.2 in width.They're great for packing in tight spaces like suitcases and small pouches.
They weigh a mere .3oz so very helpful where weight is a concern like in travel or backpacking.
Waterproof packaging covers each piece so you always have a clean dry cloth which is good for hygiene, personal care and first aid.
The material is 100 percent viscose which is made from cellulose(not oil, like microfiber). It's the most absorbent material you can buy. They are also the most energy efficient towels in that they need little energy to carry, wash and dispose. Add water to the towel or start wiping water off of you to soften and open easier. They're very soft against the skin so great for the gym and spas. Machine wash the towels very delicately or handwash. Keep dry when possible. The towels are reusable and will last until they don't.
This two pack is a great gift, and is easily mailed. Colors of the towels are assorted.
Golfers can freeze to make a cold towel.
Great as a game piece too on rainy days. Use as a checkerboard 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.

 Sweet towel July 25, 2010

I do a ton of avdenture type expoditions. I am about to go to Chile down in south America after I get back from Afghanistan. I really need to have a light wieght pack becouse I am hicking 20 miles into a jungle. This Item is just what I need. Also getting to the streams and back to the tents will be a little hike. I will be needing somthing that wont slow me down. This will serve it's purpose and not get hung up on the wild life. I hope I can find this product later in life becouse they will come in handy while in the Black Forest of Germany here in a few months.

The Lightload Towels are an excellent addition to your backpack or survival kit. They are extremely compact and do not take up any room in your gear. I found it to be very durable despite some of the other reviews who state that they are not much better than a regular paper towel. It is much more durable than a paper towel and it is very absorbent. I do not recommend putting them in a washing machine considering they are so inexpensive there is no reason to have to wash them.
Besides being a towel they have other useful purposes as well such as fire tinder, water filter, bandage, and good to clean eating utensils and pans.
The only potential drawback to using the Lightload Towels is that it takes water to activate the towel so that it will expand. If you are low on water then consider another option such as a bandana.
Overall, a great product that should be a part of your gear.
 "towel" is misleading; not machine-washable February 25, 2010

It's a great *paper towel* but that's all it is: a reusable paper towel that is absorbent and stronger than normal paper towel.
Just because they called it a "towel" without any qualification, I assumed it was machine-washable, and boy, was I surprised. Don't put this in a washer with clothes if you don't want the "towel" to turn into a mush of lint that sticks to clothes.

I'm not sure what I expected. Mine came plain white, with no logo as shown in some of the pictures. I was expecting them to be thin, but man! These are thinner then a paper towel! That being said, I was pleasantly surprised at how durable they are. I was afraid I would rip it to shreds, but that didn't happen. I'd say if you used it lightly, say as a washcloth only, you could get lots of use. In a cold-ish (60 degrees or less) climate these will take quite a few hours to dry. I bought these to put in my emergency kit, and for that purpose I will give them four stars. As a camping towel it would get less, because around here in the pacific northwest it would probably never dry.
