Best Hot Yoga Towel, Super Absorbent, 100% Microfiber, Anti-Slip, SUEDE, Best Bikram / HOT Yoga Towel, Best Camping / Outdoor Towel, Many Colors Available, Lifetime Guarantee! (Violet, Standard - 26.5 x 72)

I have had this towel for a little over a year and it is the best yoga towel of the three that I purchased, by far. In fact, this is the same thin microfiber type of towel that my studio hands out. I am one of those people who slides all over the place and I would have a hard time without a towel. My studio has water bottles in the classrooms so that folks can spray their towels before class and I spray both ends of the towel and that's what makes it non-slip for me. I think it also depends on the type of mat you have. Don't skimp on the mat. At first I did not want to spend the $$ but then I ended up replacing my mat for a Manduka Pro and I LOVE it. OK, back to the towel. I just ordered another one of these because I am doing yoga 4x per week and my other towels don't make me as happy as this one. This one by Yogitoes is OK but it's bulky and I slip less on my Gosweat microfiber which costs half as much. Here is the Yogitoes which is my second choice: http://www.amazon.com/Yogitoes-Skidless-Premium-Chinese-Collection/dp/B001HN5GA8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00 Here is my third choice and I'm going to give it away because it's bulky (as it the Yogitoes) and is not as non-slip for me as the Gosweat: http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Towel-Youphoria-White-Stitching/dp/B00O10WHY2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 The Youphoria towel (in the last link) is definitely my least favorite of the three. It is thicker than the Gosweat, really soft but I slide on it. I do hot yoga and Vinyasa and I want a towel that is thin, lightweight, non-slip and dries quickly. The Gosweat dries REALLY quickly, too.

My hit yoga instructor recommended getting a yoga mat towel for grip and ease of clean. It turns out I CAN do the downward Dog, I just didnt have a good grip before! The towel is very good quality, has a good thickness, and it works amazingly. I haven't experienced any shrinkage and I've washed it many times over the past year. It keeps me and my mat from dry and cool during my hot yoga sessions and its super easy to use.

Bought this for a friend and she has found it perfect for her yoga mat while she is practicing yoga. Washes well also.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I wanted a yoga blanket I could use in hot yoga to prevent me from slipping and to protect my mat from sweat. This arrived exactly as pictured. It is a microfiber feel and appears very sturdy quality fabric. The seams are in good repair and the overall blanket is of high quality. The color is as expected and pretty. The reason I am giving 4 stars is because it’s not 100% slip resistant. I have washed it several times now in the washer and ran through the dryer with no issues and the product has held up nicely.

I love hot yoga and the best towel I found was the Yogitoes but it was crazy expensive and my hands still slipped on it towards the end of class when I was tired. I tried this towel and I like it! It is very sticky even dry and my hands and feet do not slip at all. I did read the reviews about people getting tangled up in the towel and I can see why... my Yogitoes would stretch on the mat in the warrior poses but when I moved out of them it would bounce back and if a wrinkle remained it would just take a flick with a foot to put it back. This towel also stretches in the warrior poses but it is so sticky that it sticks to the mat like that and doesn't bounce back. Thus it takes some effort to fix it. But the wet-er it gets the less it moves. By the end of class it was soaked and stuck to my mat like a second skin and did not move. It was like wallpaper! So to clarify, it moves a little on the mat when it is dry but sticks better the wetter it gets, however, it sticks to your hands and feet like glue no matter the moisture. I'm not stressed out by a wrinkle, as long as my feet aren't sliding away from my hands in down dog so this is definitely the towel for me. And added bonus, there are no little rubber feet on one side to create static in my dryer. Sooooo tired of unrolling my towel in yoga class only to realize I accidently brought a sock or a pair of underwear to class with me, embarrassing!
