Would it be a good purchase for a workout towel? just to carry around the gym while working out?

That's what I use it for. You will need to wash it a few times before it gets soft though...

This would be an excellent choice and is exactly what I use mine for. I prefer the large towel as it gives excellent coverage the handlebars of a spin bike. If you just need to wipe sweat the medium would probably be sufficient.

I would not recommend the SportLite towel. It's absorbant, but totally not warm and fuzzy.

Absolutely, I use it as a towel, chair cover when grandkids are here, wrap when sitting outside on cooler nights, blanket at the beach. Whatever you can think of

It would work, have room for extras. Could add couple of towels for extra padding if needed.

I'd say standard weight works alright with the faster pace vinyasas. Some students are happy with a standard beach towel, but I find myself with six yoga towels now. The latest ones I got are Plush and the Extra Long (XL) Yoga Rat ones. I fold the ends under the rubber mat and find it my best solution yet. Having a towel meander or bunch up doesn't ruin my day, but I sure do enjoy having nice towels.

Absolutely- its extra-large-mat sized! (Same size as the Aurorae mat.) I have used mine on occasion solo. It folds up slightly smaller than a bath towel. It is microfiber so it is thin, it doesnt provide much cushion, but I have used it and it worked well for a clean exersize surface and for traction/sweat!

It work great for me, but I only wear for workouts. I think with a couple layers it would be very discreet and slimming for daily use. Keep in mind this will make you sweat concentrated at waistline so you back and waistline will get damp!

My workout shorts are too thick for the clip to fit perfectly. I usually have to either put it in my pockets or on the machine while I work out. I can walk with it on no problem. You may have a difficult time clipping it to workout shorts depending on how thick they are. I don't think it would clip well to a workout shirt since the fabric, at least on mine, are too thin. My main purpose of getting it was for work more than the gym. I do find that it doesn't skip if its in my pocket.

I would think so,. The clip isn't very strong so depending on how active your workout is, it might be best secured with an arm band or held in a pocket.

I don't know for sure because I purchased this for a friend, but she says it will fold down much smaller than a cotton towel. She keeps it in her gym bag. Hope that helps.

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

It is a towel/blanket. Supposed to be pretty absorbant and dries quickly. That said, I've never used mine as a towel; I've only used it as a blanket that I bring with to yoga class. It is not a bathrobe--not sure why they would mention that?

Yes it should be fine. I am guessing you are worried about it being damaged by the sweat. I have not had any issues with it when I work out and sweat or even when I use it around the pool or water. So it should be fine.

I occasionally throw a doubled up bath towel over the seat on longer workouts. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with aseat cover.

Love your creativity! It will be a little tight... Maybe don't buy too plush a towel and it would work?

It's pretty thin for a travel mat in my opinion. Just like a microfiber towel.

I would recommend it although I will admit that I always use a towel, so my answer is slightly biased. The reason I chose to use a towel is because it helps keep my mat clean, so I do not have to routinely clean my mat. I did solely use the mat in the beginning, and if I recall correctly I did have minor slippage without a towel. I am one who does not mind sweating but I do mind feeling the sweat during a workout. You will not incur this issue if you use a towel. I use a Manduka towel on top of the Manduka mat as it adheres well, and I just throw the towel in the washer afterward. Much easier cleanup, which is something I prefer. Hope this information helps you. I would recommend it although I will admit that I always use a towel, so my answer is slightly biased.
