Cover - towel for use in gyms

Abstract

A pair of straps or a single strap attaches to the top of a towel portion. The ends of the straps or single strap extend around a user and are tied together. Each strap end has an enlarged end that is between the user's legs to act as a sight barrier to block view inside the user's shorts. If two straps are used, they can be sewn to the towel portion, but a single strap could attach by a releasable fastener so that the strap could stay on the users though the user's removes the towel. Pockets on the towel body, straps or connections between the straps and towel body can hold personal objects.
