This microfibre suede yoga mat towel is a thin, soft layer that goes over your mat to give you grip and soak up sweat. It measures 183cm by 67cm, a little wider than a standard mat, so it covers the whole surface. The suede microfibre face gets grippier as it gets damp, which makes it a popular choice for hot yoga and other high-sweat classes.
It’s light and folds small, so it also works as a travel layer over a hotel carpet or a studio’s shared mat. Pick from four colours: purple, cyan, watermelon red and rust red.

How to use it
Spread the towel over your mat with the suede side up. In a hot class, many people lightly mist the towel before they start, since microfibre grips best once it’s slightly damp. As you sweat, the towel takes the moisture instead of it pooling on the mat. If it bunches up as you move, smooth it flat again from the centre outwards.
At the end of class, the mat underneath stays drier and cleaner. That’s useful if you borrow a studio mat or practise on a PU mat that you’d rather keep dry.
On its own, the towel is too thin to give much cushioning, so for kneeling poses lay it over a mat.
Care
Wash it in cold water by hand or in the machine, and hang it to air dry. It dries quickly. Skip fabric softener, which coats microfibre and can make it less grippy.
