Double duty as a sarong
Anne McAlpin’s book, “Pack it Up,” is the definitive packing primer. No surprise, then, that her first travel product – a microfiber towel that also functions as a sarong – is a well-designed multi-tasker. The velvety soft material is absorbent, fast-drying and machine washable, making it a great shower or beach towel. The dimensions of 62 by 35 inches make it a roomy wrap for most bodies, and it also works as a lightweight blanket. Folds down to the size of a thick paperback book and comes in a black nylon carry bag with two mesh zip pockets separated by a waterproof panel. The Micronet Microfiber Towel is $29.95 from Travel Essentials; 800-258-0758; www.travelessentials.com.
