excellent valueFeb 15, 2010
By M. Keith
"yogi girl"
I purchased this towel because I needed an affordable, but absorbent hand towel for hot yoga. I did not want to spend the money on the expensive yogitoes version and decided to give this one a try. It wicks away sweat with ease and dries very quickly. I'm glad I chose this towel over a more expensive brand.

 Great towel. Except for one thing.Jun 25, 2011
By Casual Reviewer
I feel weird about this towel. Here's why.
Let me start by saying that I lift weights and do cardio almost every day, and my time at the gym is 3-4 hours, so I sweat A LOT. My normal white hand towel always "fills up" with sweat before I'm done working out, so I decided to try this towel to see if it was any better.
So here's my assessment: It absorbs great. It never "fills up" with sweat. Therefore I never feel that I've used up all the dry spots. It's a great size for the gym. I can easily toss it over my shoulder and move from exercise to exercise without it getting in the way. I can toss it over the hand rail of any cardio machine and it's long enough that it doesn't fall off. The color is cool. It looks good. It dries fast... You'd think that would be more than enough to deserve 5 stars. But it's not.
The reason? Well, it just doesn't feel good when I wipe my skin. It's a little hard to describe, but basically, it doesn't glide smoothly. It's by no means rough or scratchy. It just seems to catch ever so slightly to my skin and I personally don't like how it feels.
Bottom line is that all the other reviews are correct about this item; it is a great towel. But for some reason, I'm sensitive to how this towel feels and I personally don't like it at all. Only one other review here shares my opinion, so if I were you, I'd buy it and try it. If you don't like it, return it. That's what I'm going to do.

 Great QualityJul 12, 2010
By Kathleen Church
"Kathy Church"
I really love this towel! I use it everyday for hot yoga and it's held up great for months. It stays odor-free. It's large enough to cover the entire face in one wipe, and it's soft and cuddly and a pleasure to wipe with. The color hasn't faded even with frequent washings, and the thick absorbent towel will probably last several more years. There are absolutely no pulls or fraying in the towel at all. It's so strong that sometimes I even use it in place of a strap. Can't go wrong with this one.

Great ProductMay 10, 2010
By JD
This small-size towel is perfect for my Yoga sessions. I can roll it up to support my neck, fold it to cushion an ankle or knee, and place it beyond my mat to keep my hands off the dirty floor during forward bends. It washes and dries well, and it comes in attractive colors. Oh, yes - it doesn't skid around.

 This towel is of no help in Downward Dog (((Nov 16, 2011
By Lana Nudelman
I purchased this towel hoping it would aide my sweaty hands from sliding on the mat in the downward dog pose at yoga. This towel not only didn't help me to stop sliding, but it made my hands slide even more and I eventually had to throw it aside. It's only good for wicking away moisture and sweat from your body while working out, I guess. It is very absorbent, does not retain odor, and looks great. But I typically avoid microfiber as my skin gets dry in the wintertime and the feel is very unpleasant: scratchy and clingy. I definitely do not recommend this towel to anyone needing the same no-slip solution on the mat.
