A Chawel Multi-Purpose Travel Towel

The Chawel began as a solution to the task of changing in public. We all know the awkwardness and sometimes embarrassment of changing out of wet swimwear at the beach. Where a regular towel falls short – or to the ground – the Chawel provides you with the reassurance of complete privacy, and more.
Built into the Chawel is a hidden side pocket where you can safely store your valuables out of sight while you swim or surf.
When the temperature drops or your flight has been delayed overnight, the Chawel provides you with the extra warmth you need.
Please visit the CHAWEL web site at
www.chawel.ca
In addition to being a multifunction towel and portable changing room, the Chawel conveniently transforms into the following:
- Neck/travel pillow
- Sleeping bag
-
Blanket
-
Lumbar support
- Seat cushion
- Laundry bag
- Roadside bathroom
