Occasionally I see some interesting travel related products being crowd funded that I think you guys might be interested in. We’ve talked about the Tropic travel shoe, the Cleansebot bacteria killing robot, and the Hypercube charger, among others. Here’s a few of the travel related crowd funded projects that I’ve seen

Today I wanted to talk a bit about the Toliya travel towel, which bills itself as a soft, quick drying, compact, lightweight and natural towel for travel, bath, sports and other things.
It is on Kickstarter only through this SUNDAY (January 13th) at 6PM EST. All Kickstarter links in this post may pay me a commission if you boost the project through my link.
Toliya travel towel features
Here are a few pictures of the Toliya travel towel
Here are some of the features
Also, even though it’s the same size as a standard towel, when it compacts, it only takes about 1/5th the size of a traditional towel
It also claims to dry 3 times as fast as a regular towel.

Here’s a video showing off some of the different options and features of the Toliya travel towel

I think you have the wrong video linked to this article. The video is showing a microfiber travel towel (nothing new) the Kickstarter is a cotton towel,which if it is lightweight and dries quickly, that is something new. I hate the feel of those microfiber towels on my skin.
