Lightload towels are a super light, can absorb 10 times their weight in moisture, quick drying and super soft on your skin. They are made entirely from Lyocell which is a fabric made from plants, making it 100% biodegradable and compostable. These towels won't last forever but they will see you through a solid thru-hike and they won't give off microplastics as they wear. As it's made of wood, Lyocell products only take a couple of months to decompose, contrary to other plastic-based items that could take up to 100 years to biodegrade. We think this is the perfect cloth for wiping away condensation in your single wall shelter and drying the dishes. If you are an ultralighter you can dry your whole body with it, it might just take a while!
