 ok, but not ideal Apr 10, 2009
By M. Tran
I purchased several of these towels for myself and as gifts for my friends. Here are some pros & cons:
Pros:
1. Fits yoga mat completely. If you practice hot yoga and don't clean your mat after every class, it's more hygienic to protect yourself from your mat with a towel that covers the whole mat.
2. It is easy on your washing machine than a regular towel because it is most likely smaller (especially if you're using a beach towel for your mat). It is easier on your dryer because it drys faster since it is not made of thick cotton.
Cons:
1. You might be unlucky and get a weird towel that's not the right size to fit your mat. I purchased several of them and one was a little off in size (not as wide) compared to the others. It's a bit annoying but it still works the same as the others.
2. It doesn't help with slipping much, but as your practice improves, this may be a good thing. You're challenging yourself and not using any extra equipment to help you in your practice.
3. It moves around/bunches up sometimes during your practice (during sun salutations), but I never found this to be a big deal. Just move it back.
4. It will not prevent your mat from getting drenched with your sweat. In fact, you probably won't find a towel thick enough to protect your mat from your sweat...unless you don't sweat much during your practice.
5. It only comes it one color right now: a light grey. This isn't so bad because you can actually bleach once in a while to get a good cleaning. If you bleached colored towels...they will not look good afterwards!
Overall, I found these towels useful and it helped with reducing the laundry load because they're smaller/thinner than the regular towels I used before.

 stays put, soft but synthetic feel Feb 22, 2009
By Lass
I like it, it does stay put, is long enough & covers the mat.
It is a bit creepy to touch as it's synthetic which I never use but since I didn't want it to move around & seems from the reviews of other products, most everything else does move, then I'm going with this as the mat also isn't natural & it's good to cover it with something I think.
I'm leaving the mat where I use it & have another mat at home & there I'm using a natural cotton matress pad & it's working fine for me also but I'm not doing hot yoga so not washing that much. The matress pad has clumped up inside, that's why I'm not using it on the bed, but it's OK for my daily asanas. So re this product, as long as you don't mind that creepy synthetic feel it's good. Mostly I'm covered so only hands touching. I use it for weight training with trainers.
Great item. Oct 10, 2011
By Michael T. Evanski
Held and gripped my mat firmly. No slips or issues. Highly absorbent. Cleans up nicely and is very durable. Definitely a good purchase.
has lasted for 2 years - probably 150-200 classes Jan 11, 2011
By Justin Cummings
It isn't bad and it absorbs the sweat. It fits my mat pretty well and gets a little bit wrinkled during class, but that doesn't phase me at this point. may or may not buy another one.
 It's ok, but I wish I'd spent more money on a better one Oct 04, 2010
By Julia M. Duncan
The towel is ok--it just doesn't have as much grip as I would have liked. Even when I wet it down, it still doesn't have a great grip. I wish I'd spent a little more on a better towel.
