Lightload Towel (3 pack)
18 reviewsLightload towels are the lightest, and most useful pack towels available. They come packed in a small cylinder, and unfold to about 12.5" x 22.5" (32 x 57 cm). They are super absorbent, and very quick drying. Imagine a name brand paper towel, except that these are cloth, reusable, hand washable, and biodegradable.
Don’t forget your towel!

Nice towel, neck shade, washcloth, or whatever other use you can come up with. They also last for quite a long time. I’ve had the same one in my pack with daily usage for over 200 miles, with plenty of life left in it. Good purchase.
Purchased 3 packs for ultralight 3 week family hike on the AT. Frame parts began to break after only 5 days. All packs were about 20 pounds. Belt attachment bar broke on one. Support rods broke on all of them. Normal pack use on AT
