Can this towel be used for sweat after Cardio or weight lifting exercises?

I use this towel 4 times a week at my "hot yoga" class (105 degress)--it is super absorbant and does not slip when wiping sweat. I love it!

Yes, but the moisture from the sweat makes the leather seem as if it is a second skin..it softens and adheres to the hands to create a great grip. After the workout, I usually use the velcro closures as a hook and hang them on my gym bag outer straps to let them air dry.

Absolutely!!! I take it to the gym with me everyday. I love it!! It keeps me cool while on the treadmill. I really don't use it at yoga class each week. I'm planning on getting another one for this summer's grass cutting and yard work.

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are an elastic cotton, which will absorb the water. Similar to a sweat band.

No, I have not used The Absorber Chamois as a cooling towel. It absorbs water quickly. Great for drying car or boat.

The mat I use is strong and durable. However, for me, it is slippery when wet. I think that using a towel is a great idea. After one year of Yoga once a week, I still perspire a lot. So, I use a headband and a towel. Safety is always first in my mind. There's nothing as unsettling to me, as losing the posture of a warrior 2 due to a slipping foot; and the full knowledge that I can't do splits yet. LOL.

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.

No! I go to an exercise class where I really sweat. This product is very good! It will come off on a pillow case at night, I noticed, but I've been caught in the rain and sweated during exercise, and it stays put. I think you'll like to cover thinning spots. I've been using it for a few years now and wouldn't go without it!

Definitely! I use just a little bit of water to wet the towel on my mat before I start my practice. If not you tend to slide just a bit until you start to sweat. Also, don't wash the towel with fabric softener. I seriously love this towel and will be buying another one soon.

This towel is single use only. It is quite wet when taken out of the package. By the time you do your whole body the moisture is pretty much gone. Once the towel is dried out a bit I go over areas that are likely to streak......such as ankles and elbows. I rub these areas quite vigorously. I love this product. I never experience streaking and the color is nice. The towels are so easy to use. You will find you don't need to wet them and in fact doing so would probably dilute the tanning solution.

For backpacking: This would be great to tie to your shoulder strap to wipe sweat away. For everyday carry you probably would not want something this bulky in your pocket. I bought the xl to use for a towel and I always feel damp afterwards.

There are different sizes of towels. The mat towel is Lon enough to cover your entire yoga mat. The smaller towel is perfect for wiping sweat and is a little leger than a kitchen hand towel. I have both sizes and find them equally useful.

I have this mat, and i bought two manduka hand towels to use on it (one for me hands and one for my feet). They are the best towels ever! only my hands and feet sweat during yoga, and these towels keep me from slipping. They stick to the mat very well, the hand one hardly moves, the feet ones moves a little bit (but nothing too distracting).

I have 2oz size and used it on The Mat by Lululemon; it absorbs in very quickly, so it works nicely for a light spray down after class to keep funkiness away, but plan on continuing deep cleans-- in my experience, scented stuff tend to make the surface a little slippery, and bc The Mat is double thickness the spray bottle provided is not going to discharge enough to actually clean it.

You will end up with a bunch of foam. That stuff is b.s. anyways i returned mine. Just have some honey or a small cup of coffee 45 min before a workout and stay hydrated.

Yes. However this product is no very durable. May not work for you if you sweat or work out often.

Yes. I use it for my most intense cardio sessions. Drink 15 mins before, it works fast!
