YOGA DESIGN LAB The HOT Yoga Towel | Luxury Non Slip Quick Dry Eco Printed Towel | Designed in Bali | Ideal for Hot Yoga, Bikram, Exercise, Sports, or Travel | Mat Sized (Aegean Green)

First, this is my second YDL towel, and is not likely to be my last. Second, this is my new favorite towel because the design is GORGEOUS.I honestly prefer these towels to YogiToes because I enjoy supporting eco-friendly small businesses. The owner has followed up on both purchases I have made from YDL, which really shows me they care about their product. I do have both a Manduka Eko and Eko Superlite mat that I use with my towels. I am a very sweaty person, regardless of the type of class, so I need a towel pretty much always. While this towel is a little slicker upon first down-dog than YogiToes, I find that a quick spritz with water (or a few turbo-dogs worth of forehead sweat) solve that issue. I honestly prefer having to work a little harder to stay in poses at first, anyway, because it gets me out of my head and deeper into my practice. These towels don't have the small grip-dots that YogiToes have on the bottom, but are long enough to curl the corners under your mat (unless you're rocking an XL mat), and I rarely have problems (especially because my Eko mats are grippy enough to hold the towel in place). Honestly, I love these, and every time they release a new pattern I lose a little more self-control.Side note: I have had my first towel for over a year, used it as an outdoor travel mat (before purchasing my superlite), a backpacking towel, a blanket or pillow in desperate times, and it has held up like a champ. I drug it around Europe with me, threw it in crumpled places, machine washed it in hot water accidentally, and not a fray in sight. It is basically in just as good a shape as my new one.Thank you, YDL, I will hopefully own all your towels one day! Please don't ever make bolsters, because I need to keep some of my money.

This is actually a reorder after the first purchase, same towel different pattern, which I am quite happy about. This mat towel is super absorbent, soft and very quick dry. It took only 2-3h, hang-dried in room temperature, for the towel to be completely dried. I have to admit, the reason I fell in love is because of the design and beautiful pattern. The towel sticks to my mat for the whole session, no flipping in every corner, but for the grippiness, it is still below Yogitoes. Yes, it does need to be dampened, and I am a super-sweaty person, even I drop some water from my bottle just around the area, where Im gonna put down my hands. And, since its rather quick-dry, I sometime need to redo in the middle of yoga session. If you do many standing pose but eventually need solid grip for downward dog, you may wanna do this.I am okay for those mentioned. The reason for four star; today, I just received the second purchase, and I am frowned to seelittle spot stain in the hand towel (bought mat + hand towel). It’s like a pen marked. Never been used. It’s tiny but still a bummer. Small issue but simply avoidable with better QC and shipment checking.

This is my second towel from Yoga Design Lab, and to be fully transparent, I was offered a discount price on this one in exchange for a fair review.First, customer service is excellent here. They kept me updated of the status of the shipment and checked in to make sure I received it, and again to make sure I liked it.The color/pattern is very pretty (I have the green geo design and also a more rainbow one, that is older). The towel is very thin and washes well. My older one has retained its color after many uses, and I expect the new one to do the same.Personally, I find this towel a little less stable than a more terry cloth towel that I buy from another vendor. My hands and feet can slip around a little bit at the start of my hot power yoga class. Once I start sweating, it is better, and yes I know I can dump some water on my towel before class to help, but I prefer not to. Like I said, it really is about preference. If you like cool designs and great customer service, go with this towel!My only other minor issue is that these towels are twice the price of the ones I prefer. I am glad I have it but likely will not buy another one, since I can find a style that fits my practice better and is less expensive. I definitely think if you are considering this towel, you should try it out and you will likely love it (unless you are as picky as I am!).

If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. This is my first mat towel I’ve ever purchased and I was a little concerned it didn’t have the slip-resistant beads on the back like some other brands. I had a chance to try a Yogitoes towel after I had already purchased my Yoga Design towel and, though they claim to be slip less, the towel moved around a lot. This made me even more nervous.The towel came and I was a little put off by the texture at first. It kind of feels like a soft leather… or like, suede, maybe? Definitely not a towel material.However, I used it for the first time last night and I am head over heels in love with this towel. I am a tall lady at 5’ 9” and barely fit on my mat. The Yogitoes towel I tried was about 4 inches shorter than my mat. My Yoga Design towel was an inch or two LONGER than my mat – not enough to be annoying. I got my towel a little damp at the beginning of class and that was the last time I worried about it slipping. Not once did I have to come out of a stretch to readjust the towel from it shifting.The towel is super light-weight and machine washable. I haven’t washed it yet and am hoping that it doesn’t fade, but I love it!

軽いのに、しっかりした素材で、2時間ホットヨガをしてもたっぷりと汗を吸ってくれます。すべらず、しっかり踏ん張れます。

スタジオでのヨガはマットを借りる時、アルコールスプレーしたりしてますが、やはり気になります。これを上にサッと引くだけで気にならなくなって集中できます。出張の時もこれだけ持っていけば部屋やホテルのジムでもサッとストレッチできるので重宝しています。そして洗濯してもすぐ乾く。

ホットヨガで使用してますが濡れてもグリップ力がほぼ変わらず生地に厚みがあるので他のヨガラグより洗濯後の乾きが遅いのは致し方ないね

I have picked up the item from the delivery place. There is no need for a refund. It seems the convenience store did not update the information.I am loving the yoga towel, it is not slippery, beautiful, comfortable, and not heavy.

Very very good
