Description of Gaiam Thirsty Yoga Towel (Smokey Purple)
Hot yoga devotees, meet your new favorite prop. Placed on top of a yoga mat, this super absorbent, microfiber towel wicks away moisture and dries in half the time of a cotton towel even after hot yoga classes like Bikram. 24"W x 68"L. 75% nylon/25% polyester. Made in China.Yoga towels come in handy in several situations--as a top layer for your yoga mat, as a yoga mat substitute when a mat isn't available, or while performing "hot" yoga. When used with a yoga mat, this microfiber towel from Gaiam keeps you from slipping while adding a hygienic barrier to the floor. However, it also excels as a regular towel, with a super-absorbent construction that mops up sweat during a particularly energizing routine. The same size as a standard Gaiam yoga mat, the towel is fashionable and effective.

Sports reviews of Gaiam Thirsty Yoga Towel (Smokey Purple)
Customer Review: good value for a basic towel
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Good value. I still seem to slip despite wetting down the towel, but it is better than my mat alone, especially in hot yoga classes. You might try one of the towels with the rubber dots, or get a new extra-sticky, natural rubber mat instead of this towel, if you are willing to spend the money. Otherwise, this is about what I expected - pretty, absorbent, soft, and useful.Customer Review: Gaiam Thirsty yoga towel

I love this yoga towel. It is the perfect size to fit on my yoga mat. It works great when doing hot yoga such as Ashtanga yoga. It aborbs the sweat very well and you don't slip and slide all over your mat. It's also machine washable which is a plus! Customer Review: It works.

This yoga towel works good. Like other reviewer says, this one doesn't stay still on the yoga mat as well as yogitoes and I have to fix it a couple of more extra times in a session. I hope it would be a little longer so I can tuck into yoga mat to prevent it, but still works well and really light to carry.
Customer Review: Works well and the price is right
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This towel works well - absorbs moisture, fits a yoga mat perfectly, and is well worth the purchase if you slip due to perspiration in a yoga class. Other similar products cost twice as much and I see no reason to pay that much. I would buy this product again. Customer Review: Not Worth It
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
I have been doing Bikram yoga for about a year now, and needed something longer than a normal bath towel. Instead of buying the expensive yoga towels, I went for Gaiam's, and have not been too impressed. It does absorb much more than a normal towel, but does not stay put on top of the mat in between poses which causes me to constantly fix it, leaving me with little if any resting time. I suggest buying the expensive towels for it's worth the cost in the end.
