Product details

Lightload packtowels with optional DCF stuffsack – These are the lightest towels you can get. Much lighter than microfiber, Lightload pack towels are ultra useful. I used them on my LEJOG thru hike. Very popular in America but hard to get in Europe. No pack list, bugout bag or bushcraft box is complete without them.

Specifications

• Ultra absorbent
• Exceptionally lightweight
• Extra fast drying
• Feels great on the skin, unlike sticky microfiber.
• Biodegradable and made from wood. (Lyocell).
• New extra strong version
• Riverstone grey – dries faster!
• Burnable
• Reusable + machine washable
• Packs down tiny
• A fraction of the price of microfiber
• Designed by AT thru hiker George Wheeler
• If 16g is too heavy for you, cut it in half!
• Wringable – wring the water out and then use it again! Wring before storage and for faster drying

Uses

• Dry off after a shower/wild swim. The small one can be used too – once it’s saturated wring it out and it’s good to go again.
• Pot holder
• Wipe condensation from your tent
• Firestarter when all your kindling is damp
• Wash and dry dishes
• As clothes dry water accumulates as the lowest point e.g. the legs - squeeze wet patches out with this to speed up drying.

About Wild Sky Gear

Wild Sky Gear was started by Skye McGregor, a British 15 year old who hiked Lands’ End to John O'Groats solo. I hiked through the winter and to keep my pack light started making my own gear and then sold some of the surplus. This turned out to be a bit more successful than I had anticipated, and now I’m constantly sewing.

PS: I really appreciate feedback on my items and service. Please let me know how everything is - I love hearing about how you're using my gear and the adventures you're going on :)
