5 KC S.
Love all my Nomadix towels. I bought this to use for a long hike later this fall, but have found myself using it all the time, including as a seat cover after long sweaty runs here in the TX heat. My favorite is still the Original, but while traveling, I 'll be grateful for this less bulky option.

[ I bought this yoga towel a month ago, and it solved my problems( slippery mat) in my hot yoga classes. Now I have an excellent grip while doing downward facing dog:) and other poses. I like to spray it with water to get a good grip, it sure works. The colors of the mat( peacock) are lovely. I 'll buy it again and again.

Really like this Yoga Mat Towel. Great texture and absorbent.

5 DebbaH
I love my Manduka yoga mat, but my hands and feet tend to sweat during practice. And I also like to attend hot vinyasa classes where I can really sweat! It goes without saying that I used to slip during practice, but no more! I absolutely love my mat towel because it has transformed my practice! I have more confidence during flows and asanas. It dries quickly and easy to launder.

[ I 've heard about these towels and I must say I was skeptical because I work out a lot and I definitely need something to keep me cool so when I bought this town I was completely shocked. At how cool this towel helped me during my days at the gym I was so happy with this towel I 've recommended it to everyone and I recommend that you get it also

5 JonV
[ I was skeptical at first, but the cooling towel simply does exactly what it is advertised to do. Works great as a sun shield and is lightweight. The stitching is high quality. Should last a long time.

5 michael212
[ I used this product while marathon training and really appreciated it-- after coming home from a long run, it was so refreshing to put a cool towel on my neck afterwards. This towel instantly gets cold and is great quality, and could n't believe how cool it remained for a while.

5 Trey
[ There is n't much to this Max Plus Cooling Towel. The fabric type is patented and activates its cooling feature quite easily. The instructions state that you should wet the towel, wring it out, and then `` snap '' it( like you might with a beach or bath towel). The towel immediately feels cool and stays cool for up to 3 hours! The towel is small enough and shaped similar to a neck scarf to be easy to carry while jogging or other activities, or even can fit in your pocket. Since it's machine washable, this towel can be reused over and over again. It even provides UPF 50 sun protection and is antimicrobial for odor control!

5 LovelyB79
[ Max Plus Towel Fiesta is very great towel the coolant when you wet works awesome for especially for me. I love the aborsbmant that it has and how instantly it cools. I would highly recommend anyone to give it a try.

I got the yoga Mat towel because I found the mat I had was hard to keep clean and saw that these could be washed. It is beautifully colored. Easy to carry and to put in place when ready to use. It is easy to store and the best part is that it washes. I do not have a dryer and it does line dry well. It came out perfect and ready for use again. I prefer this over my mat for the pilates I do at home.

A great quality towel and I love the plastic carabiner to hang on the fences for ease of access! The color is great as it matches my Tour Bag from Selkirk too!

Towel dries quickly and the carabiner lets you clip it to a fence to dry in the wind. Wish black was an option as the white is so white it looks dirty pretty quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions For Lightweight Towels

Lightweight towels are designed for easy portability, making them ideal for travel, camping, and outdoor activities. They typically dry quickly, reducing the risk of mildew and odors. Additionally, their compact size allows for convenient packing without taking up much space.

Lightweight towels are often made from materials such as microfiber, which is known for its quick-drying properties and softness. Some may also use synthetic blends that enhance durability and absorbency while keeping the towel lightweight. Understanding the material can help you choose a towel that meets your specific needs.

When selecting a lightweight towel, consider the intended use. Smaller towels are great for personal hygiene or quick drying, while larger towels may be better suited for activities like swimming or camping. Think about how much space you have in your bag and how you plan to use the towel to determine the best size.

Yes, lightweight towels are versatile and can be used for various activities, including travel, gym workouts, beach outings, and hiking. Their quick-drying nature and compact design make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, providing convenience no matter the setting.

While lightweight towels may not absorb as much water as traditional towels, many are designed to be highly absorbent relative to their size. Microfiber options, in particular, can effectively wick moisture away while remaining lightweight. It's important to consider your specific needs for absorbency when making a choice.
