Sports Product Review

Hikers, campers, beach-goers, golfers—anyone who works or plays outdoors—do yourself a favor and stock up on a couple handfuls of Lightload Towels, (www.ultralighttowels.com). About the circumference of a silver dollar, I had to admit I was a little baffled when I unwrapped it from its waterproof packaging. “This is a towel?” I thought. Then, as I drizzled a little water over it, a metamorphosis took place. What had originally felt like a wooden checker began to expand and grow before my eyes. In a few moments I was holding a full-sized hand towel with a plethora of uses. (Suggested use: there should be 4-5 of these in every first-aid kit). Hand towel not big enough? They make beach towels that begin about the size of a hockey puck too. Lightload touts its towels as being biodegradable and more absorbent than cotton towels, and they’re very affordable. But regardless of the many ways you’ll put the towels to use, you may want to get one just for the “Whoa!” you’ll get from your kids when they see you drop one in a glass of water.
