- Super absorbent
- Soft on your skin
- Quick drying
- Wicks away moisture
- Lighter than a bandana
Lightload® Towels are ultralight, super absorbent, quick drying, and soft on your skin. They’re made of Lyocell, a material derived from plants. Lyocell absorbs up to 10 times its own weight. It’s more absorbent than cotton and dries a lot quicker. When the towel gets saturated, just wring it out and keep drying. They'll wick moisture away and dry much more quickly than a bandana. And they’ll keep you cool and dry in the heat and warm and dry in the cold.
Two sizes are available. Regular is about 12.5 x 21.5 in. (31.8 x 54.6 cm) and Small about 10.5 x 12.5 in. (26.7 x 31.8 cm). For a smaller size, just cut one down. The towels come compressed like a compact puck. Just add a little water and watch it transform. They are machine washable but we recommend hand washing these towels to keep them from pilling and fraying. With a little care they’ll last until they don’t.
