MandukaeQua Hot Yoga Mat Towel - 72" Instant Moisture Activated Grip Ultra Soft Microfiber Quick Dry, Daily Use Ready Lightweight, Travel Friendly Mat Layer 72 x 26.5 inches

I received one of these towels as a gift over 10 years ago, and even after a decade of hot/heated yoga, sweating, washings, getting crumpled up in the bottom of my bag, etc., it still pretty much looks & feels the same as the day I got it. When I started going to practice again regularly, I realized I needed two mat towels if I didn't want to be doing laundry every other day, so I decided to purchase this one again.The new towel feels pretty much identical to my old one, and is holding up just as well so far. It's also the exact right size for my mat. It's a little slipperier than I'd like when dry, but I think that's probably true of mat towels everywhere, and spraying or sprinkling water on it before practice helps add traction until the sweating kicks in. It also dries off quite quickly after practice. It's more expensive compared to some other options, but if I don't have to buy a replacement for another 10 years, then it's absolutely worth the investment. Love when things are made to last!

I really like this towel! Is it perfect? No, but I didn’t want to dish out any more money than this. This towel is good quality and feels like it will last for a long time.Pros:- it’s super soft! I enjoy having this even for classes where I won’t be sweating.- it doesn’t trap odors- I use this for barre and it definitely works to stop my hands from slipping during planks, etc.- I don’t have many issues with it not staying in place on my mat.Cons:- you can’t just throw it in the washer with your other clothes. be prepared to hand wash this—a lot of dye comes out in the water, though not enough to stain your hands or sink. I haven’t noticed this affect the color of the towel itself either.- it could be even more grippy. I don’t have issues slipping on my bare hands/feet, but wearing leggings or longer sleeves can cause my knees and elbows to slip around a little bit on the fabric.- I wish it came in more colors! I got a beautiful teal Manduka mat that now gets covered up all the time by my dark blue towel :( the towel is a nice color too but I really wish they made them to match the mat colors

I have tried a number of towels. This is the last one I purchased. I wish I had bought this first! I tried multiple Yogitoes towels, which are great, but the price is not. This towel works just as good if not better. Sprits a little water on your mat, lay out the towel, and everything stays in place. Very absorbent. Comfortable. Excellent grip. A towel worth the price!

The towel was slightly longer than the standard mandala hot yoga studio mat, but still good size.As indicated I wet the mat prior to start and the towel was immediately grippy. However Im someone who generates heat and I can't stand a towel that holds heat or adds heat. This microfiber was not as terrible as others but could be less heat holding. Overall if you want absorbing and nonslip this works great.

I teach Yin yoga, and I attend a lot of Vinyasa classes. I don't sweat profusely in my Vinyasa classes, but it's enough that my hands and feet start to slide in certain positions like down dog. This towel is amazing! It keeps me in position even though I'm not sweating a lot. Based on some of the reviews, I'd been concerned that it wouldn't work unless I was super sweaty, but this hasn't been the case. It doesn't bunch up on me, and it really helps with the slipping. I actually keep it on my mat during my Yin classes, because I love the way it feels. It's a few inches longer than my Gaiam mat, and that's great since it gives me a little bit more room to stretch out but still keep my hair from touching the floor. It seems to keep the mat cooler and more comfortable. I had looked into getting one of the Manduka nonskid mats but didn't want to spend the money (also tried one out at my studio and didn't like the feel of it). I'm so glad I went with this instead! It's hands-down one of the best yoga purchases I've ever made in my 25+ years of practicing. I hope you love it as much as I do!

This mat stays put without the grippy dots on the back. Very soft and absorbent. My favorite kind now.

This is by far the best matt towel ive used for hot yoga.

I bought this especially for hot yoga. The towel is much wider and longer than my mat, which I don't like. I sprayed down the mat before class began and the towel absorbed all the water and my hands and feet slid around all class. The mat was a big wrinkly, bunchy, and distracting mess. I am so disappointed. All around me, I saw that others' towels were smooth, and stayed in place. Mine is pretty worthless for what I wanted. I will be returning.
