Lightload Towels Are a One-of-a-Kind Tool
Hikers, bikers and campers are singing the praises of a unique lightweight towel that is perfect for the outdoors.
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 8, 2005 -- Hikers, bikers and campers are singing
the praises of a unique lightweight towel that is perfect for the outdoors. For
years, outdoor-enthusiasts have had to use other towels that took up space and
added excess weight to packs and camping gear. But finally, a lighter, more
versatile towel has arrived. At only half an ounce each, the towels will not
weigh you down on the trail or take up valuable packing space in your camping
gear. Before Lightload Towels, towels were just that; but these towels are ideal
for a variety of purposes that no single towel has ever handled before. They can
be used as washcloths, potholders, seat or pack pads, neckbands, headbands, or
first aid supplements. They can even be used as a coffee filter or emergency
fire-starter. No other towel on the market is both this light and this
versatile.
The new look of Lightload Towels is impressive as well. Made
of 100% viscose, the towels are expandable to 12 x 24 inches, a considerable
size that can accommodate most needs. George Wheeler, an avid hiker, created
Lightload Towels in 1999 after a 2160-mile hike along the Appalachian Trial.
Testimonials from users support the versatility and value of Lightload
Towels. Rachel Emmer a member of the renowned Alpine Rescure Team in Colorado
and an avid outdoor enthusiast “used them on a vacation in Maine” She stated,
“they dried our soggy butts after kayaking all day in a downpour; and gave us
fire that night when nothing else would. Everyone should carry them in their “10
essentials kit” and I’m preaching the word.”
Adventure travel writer Ted
Stedman agrees, calling Lightload Towels, “very durable.” He describes how he
used the towel to clean himself from a thrashing Caiman on an expedition in the
Amazon. “About 15 of us were in this little river boat on the Madrais del Dios
Rios(Mother of God River) when we spotted a caiman on the shore... So we slowly
motor in to get a better look and as we pull along side. The thing just explodes
to get away, spraying all of us with mud.. About 5 of us used that same single
towel to wipe off.”
Alex Montcret, an experienced long distance cyclist
on a recent trip said, “Lightload Towels were a great addition to my travel kit.
I used mine daily on a 1,000 mile cycling tour from New York to Montreal for
everything from cleaning my glasses, to serving as an extra handle bar grip to
removing grease and grit from my bicycle frame."
Lightload Towels are
made of a soft, biodegradable material that is soft on skin and completely
reusable. They come in a waterproof package and cost only a couple of dollars.
These surprisingly versatile towels are also super-absorbent. They can be used
after a shower or to wipe up spills and can even be used to remove moisture from
tents and other equipment. Place the towel in the sun, and it will dry
completely in a matter of minutes.
