Jamaica, NY (December 20, 2006) Dyna-E International has announced the addition of a unique pocket-sized beach towel to their line of products. Traveling light is a goal for many people, and this new beach towel makes reaching that goal a lot easier. The towels were cited in the San Jose Mercury News on December10, 2006 in “Holiday Gifts to Go” as a great gift for travelers. They make an excellent gift for anyone who is likely to end up at a beach, lake or pool, or anywhere else a beach towel or large towel would come in handy.

The only beach towel that can fit in a pocket, this unique new product is compressed to the size of a hockey puck but opens to a full 3 x 5 feet (90x150cm). Traditional beach towels are often so large and bulky that they edge out other items on a traveler’s packing list. But Lightload Beach Towels can be packed in any small space with ease.
Produced by the makers of the original all-purpose lightweight towel for campers, backpackers and other outdoor enthusiasts, Lightload Beach Towels are made of the same 100% viscose biodegradable material.
They are as absorbent and versatile as the original Lightload Towels and more absorbent than cotton.

Lightload Beach Towels come in a compact 3-½ inch diameter shape that weighs only five ounces. Lightload Beach Towels are great for people who travel in motor homes, motorcyclists, hikers, and those in the military, as well as anyone just going for a swim. They are great for family vacations and business travelers as well. Like the original Lightload Towels, Lightload Beach Towels have dozens of other uses in addition to drying off on the beach and lying in the sand. They can be used for insulation in cold weather or as a head wrap or even a body wrap while the laundry is being done. In an emergency, Lightload Beach Towels can be used as S.O.S. signal flags, trail markers or first aid supplements. They can even be used as neck scarves to keep winter travelers warm.

Soft on skin and extremely durable, travelers will love the convenience of Lightload Beach Towels. They are machine washable and will last until they don’t. The towels dry easily in the sun after a swim. Each waterproof package of Lightload Beach Towels sells for only $6.50. The price is reduced to $3.50 per towel for orders of twelve towels or more. Further information can be found on the company’s website at www.ultralighttowels.com. You can also request a free sample online or by calling Dyna-E International at 917-922-0154 or emailing info@lightloadtowels.com.

Light load Towels three packs are the only towel that is also a tool for the outdoors. Use it as a fire starter coffee filter, water filter, first aid supplement, wind scarf, sweat band and much more. Waterproof packaging covers each piece; that always ensures that the user will have a clean dry cloth.

A handy item for your next bike tour: Lightload Towels

These aren’t the towels you will want to take to the shower but they weigh almost nothing, take no space, and are very handy. I like them a lot more than I ever though I would, they work fine as a face towel, cleaning up pots, as a cloth to take the water off your bike in the morning or a rag to deal with bike grime and grease.

They are quite absorbent, sturdy and fairly soft but pretty thin for a towel. One neat thing about them is they are about the size of a thick wooden half dollar when you get them. They easily uncompressed when you need them.

The Lightload Towel price at Campmor is $5.49 for 3.

Here’s Campmor’s write up on them:

Lightload towels weigh a mere 1/2 oz. and are incredibly versatile. They are made of 100% viscose. They are super absorbent, quick drying and have multiple uses such as, towels, washcloth, pot holder, pack padding, water or coffee strainer, neck or headband, fire starter, first aid supplement, condensation cleaner and many more. They are reusable, machine washable and biodegradable. 12 in. x 24 in. 1/2 oz. each. 3 per pack and each towel is packed in water resistant packaging.

Eco Towel in a Tin – Lightload Compressed Beach Towel

Have you ever found yourself going for a drive on a sunny day when the sudden urge to hit the beach strikes you? Or you’ve picked up your lunch and driven to a small park and wished you had a blanket to picnic on?

Then let me introduce you to your new purse must-have, the Lightload compressed beach towel. It’s essentially a towel that’s been jam-packed into a tin can.

The only kicker is that once it’s out, it’s out forever. At $6.50 though, it’s worth it for a day of fun in the sun! After all, isn’t that how much you’d spend on a single mojito back home?

Low price considered, it’s also great for those jetting off to sunny destinations. Rather than lugging a big towel there and back, you can just take the little tin over, and leave the unfurled towel there when you fly back. Hey, I’m not one to litter—I wouldn’t recommend leaving something behind if it weren’t eco-friendly; the towels are biodegradable! Save the suitcase space for that bottle of spiced rum or those obligatory sea shell necklaces you just had to buy all your friends.
