Cycling Around the World blog Reviewed the Lightload Towels

http://bikeblog.cyclingaroundtheworld.nl/?p=85

This morning I received a set of three Lightload Towels. The manufacturer claims  that these towels are the lightest( 5 oz. or 140 gr.)  and most versatile towels around. Even better, they say these are not just towels but can be considered as a multi-pupose survival tool. The towels are made of 100% viscose, quick drying and wickable.

For a travelling cyclists one of  the rewards after a long , and hot adusty day on the road is a (hot) shower. To dry yourself you’ll need a towel. A towel that is as lightweight as possible but on the other side can absorb plenty of water. Can the Lightload towel stand ” The Cycling Around the World Test” ?

Lightload towel in use
My initial reaction after unpacking, what initially looked like a set of three  pill boxes, was: “Are these towels, where are my towels?”  It took me a little while to figure out that dipping in water softens the towels up and gets the wrinkles out.  The “pill box” quickly then transforms into a 30 x 60 cm towel that absorbs a lot of water. The towels dry quicky and feel soft on your skin. According to the FAQ pages on the Lightload Towels website, they last for about two months.

The initial package

But are these towels useful for cyclists travelling and trekking around the world? Well, on a very long trip I would typically use a more durable towel. But as an extra “emergency supply”  these towels could be useful. The manufacturer claims that the Lightloads can also be used as “pot holder, seat or pack padding, water of coffee filter, First Aid supplement or even as fire starter”.

Add some water and seconds later your 30 x 60 cm towel is ready

I wouldn’t use it as a serious water filter but for the rest it’s probably ok.  And of course you could use it as a pot holder or pack padding, but anything soft can do such a job. I also tried my luck to use it as a fire starter. I was not too impressed. Ok, I was able to set in on fire but it petered out after a few minutes.  I’ve had better results with dry paper and a few drops of (car)gas from my camping stove to get a fire going.

So what’s the verdict?
Good for use as an extra disposable towel (very lightweight and very compact) on bike and camping trips. The Lightload towels seem less suitable for the alternatives mentioned on the pack.

Carrying Lightload Towels On Your Missionary Travel
If you are the one of those people who are interested in interacting with others, knowing about different cultures and at the same time working for the service of mankind, then you must be going for missionary travel to different parts of the world. One of the most important advantages of going on such tours is that you always have a purpose in mind and continuously work towards achieving your goal of eradicating drug addiction, poverty, prostitution, pagan practices and gang violence from this world.
If your missionary travel has been organized by your church, then you will not need to worry about housing and food and generally travel with tension free. But there are still some basic necessities of life that you may have to take care of yourself. Because you may need to visit several places at a time and you might never know how large distances you will have to cover on foot, you will obviously try to keep your luggage as light as possible.
One of the best travel articles that you should include in your luggage in this case is a lightload towel. These towels are not only light in weight but are also very small in size. We all know that towels consume a lot of space in our travel bags and contribute to a lot of weight too. A lightload towel, on the other hand, can be easily put in your pocket along with other articles, such as your keys and wallet and loose change. Just imagine how much space you will save!
When you reach your destination, you can easily turn this small piece into a full size towel and throw it away after use. Throwing them away will not be difficult because these towels are very cheap. t is better to dispose them off rather than carrying them along with you all through your travel. If you are planning to stay at a single point for some time, you can even re-use this towel for a number of times and throw it away when its time to move on. You do not need to wonder about what you will use after throwing one away because you can carry many towels with you in your pocket and turn them into full size towels one after the other.
With a lighter weight on your shoulders, you will be able to concentrate more on your missionary travels and achieve your goal of serving mankind. In this way, you will not only gain peace of mind and get rid of all your sins of the past, but you will also gain respect and have an opportunity to meet new people , make new friends, and understand new cultures and traditions.
To serve people wholeheartedly, you have to be at ease and this can only be done if you do not have heavy weights to carry around. You will not be able to work for the service of people if you yourself are tired and exhausted. So switch to lightload Towels today and ease the burden on your shoulders on your next missionary trip.
