Travel Towels

Posted by Jackie Hewett on Sat 19th January 2008 at 01:31 AM, Filed in Equipment and Gadgets

If you are going away and need to pack a towel but are tight for space / weight (especially back-packing) you might like to invest in one of these little ‘beauties’ – ‘trek’ or travel towels.  They are astonishingly absorbent for their bulk ( or should that be lack-of bulk! ) and feel a bit like a chamoix leather.

The claim is that they are up to six times lighter than your standard beach towel and they dry 8 times faster and come in a handy storage pouch.

‘Lifeventure’ (one of the better manufacturers) towels are treated with an antibacterial coating that helps prevent them getting smelly or the fabric degrading.  Their products are available from quite a few different suppliers from as much as £22 for the large size and £27 for extra large (or ‘giant’) size,  I have found Amazon to be one of the cheapest sources.
