Lightweight, Pint size Towel Debuts

Imagine a tiny travel towel that weighs the same as a matchbox and unfolds into a lightweight and biodegradable towel. Sounds like a winning tool to me!

The pocket size tool from Lightload Towels can filter coffee too, and is very absorbent. It can also function as a fire starter! The towel absorbs nine times its weight in water and is perfect and portable. Just stick a few in your travel case, pocket or purse and trot on to your campsite or travel tour.

The towels are reusable and washable. The product is the brainchild of George "Wideload" Wheeler, an avid long distance hiker who completed the 2160-mile Appalachian Trail in 1999.

"As an outdoorsman who loves hiking and camping in the wild, I realized the necessity of an easily-portable, space-saving, multi-purpose towel that would be eco-friendly," said Wheeler. "It's essential to any first-aid kit and is great to have handy whether you are hunting and fishing or just playing golf."
