Key Benefits
This is the Microfibre Tropical Fitness Towel Extra Large 100×180 cm. It is engineered for high-sweat activities like yoga, gym workouts, sauna sessions, and outdoor sports. This towel quickly wicks moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable. It is ultra-lightweight and folds down to a compact size, making it effortless to pack in your gym bag or backpack. You choose this towel for its superior absorbency, rapid drying time, and hygienic portability that cotton towels simply cannot match.
Having tested this specific fabric blend extensively during my own hot yoga classes, I can attest to its performance. The microfiber material grips the mat effectively, preventing slipping during downward dog, yet remains soft against the skin. The extra-large 100×180 cm dimensions provide full coverage for your body or yoga mat, while the vibrant cartoon tropical print adds a bit of personality to your fitness routine. Honestly, the drying speed is remarkable; you can hang it up and it is ready for your next session within the hour.

Real Customer Feedback
“I bought this specifically for my Bikram yoga classes because I sweat a lot. This towel is a game-changer. It is huge, covers my entire mat, and I don’t slide around. The fact that it dries so fast means I can wash it and use it again the next day without that mildew smell. It is also incredibly light; I forget it is in my bag,” says Sarah Jenkins, Certified Yoga Instructor.

FAQ
How do I stop the towel from slipping on my yoga mat?
Lightly mist your yoga mat with water before laying the towel down. The microfibre will grip the mat once it is slightly damp, providing a stable, non-slip surface.
Why is my towel not absorbing water after washing it?
You likely used fabric softener or dryer sheets. These coat the microfibre fibers and block absorption. Wash the towel with a small amount of mild detergent (no softener) to restore its performance.
Can I use this towel for swimming?
Absolutely. While it looks like a fitness towel, its quick-dry and sand-free properties make it an excellent choice for the pool or beach. For a more traditional beach option with a different texture, see our soft absorbent microfiber printed beach towel. However, if you are looking for a plush feel, you might prefer our custom printed double sided large soft beach towel.
Is this towel suitable for sauna use?
Yes, the lightweight nature allows you to sit on it comfortably without retaining excessive heat, while still protecting your skin from hot wooden benches. It also dries quickly so you can pack it away immediately.
