To explain a little bit of this yoga towel features – we would like to describe it like this: The soft, suede-like, microfiber fabric is ultra absorbent, exceptionally durable and incredibly quick drying which leads to a slip-free yoga experience. Works great for all types of yoga including hot, vinyasa and power. Studio to beach, lightweight and easy to pack with you wherever you go. To Use: To enhance the slip-resistant qualities of the fabric, spray with water to dampen before each additional use. To Wash: Manduka recommends washing eQua® Towels with like colors before first use. Machine wash on cold with like colors. Hang to dry (recommended) or tumble dry on low setting. The eQua® microfiber fabric is a recyclable synthetic material, engineered for performance & durability. We consider the product to be an eco-conscious choice when the towel is used to its fullest potential. Its versatility eliminates the need for other fitness towels that wear out quickly. While the material will survive countless uses and washes, it can also be re-purposed as a multi-functional cleaning cloth if its life as a fitness accessory comes to an end. The packaging is made from 100% recycled PET material.
