In all honesty, I ordered the gray towel with green stitching and got the blue towel. That's annoying but I don't really care. I'm assuming that all the towels function identically regardless of their color.
This towel is a pretty standard microfiber cloth that has been cut into the dimensions of a yoga mat (although my Manduka Black mat is slightly wider). If you've ever used microfiber rags to wash a car or do general cleaning then you know what to expect. There's nothing wrong with that but it's not exactly groundbreaking stuff. I've added the Youphoria to my stable of towels which include the Manduka, Gaiam, and YogaRat brands. I've used Yogitoes before, as well. The Mandukas are the best. This towel will never be mistaken for a Manduka and anyone who thinks so probably doesn't really need a towel. Of course, the Mandukas are much more expensive so this isn't surprising.
This towel needs to be compared to Gaiam and Yogarat. Compared to those two it is an excellent towel. It's pretty comfortable to lay on if you open class with a savasana. It's a lightweight towel so I expected it to slide around a lot even when saturated with sweat. However, it stays in place pretty well throughout class. Most hot yoga classes start with standing postures before moving to the floor so the towel is soaked by the time you really test its grip-strength. Speaking of being soaked, this towel absorbs a surprising amount of sweat. It doesn't overflow with sweat like Gaiam and Yogarat (really, the Yogarat Mat Towel is terrible – the hand towels are nice, though). With those two when I roll up my mat/towel to exit the studio my sweat is pouring out – and no, I'm not rolling my mat too tightly. The Youphoria towel held on to the sweat so I didn't leave a trail of puddles in my wake. Very cool.
All in all, this towel is better than its similarly-priced competitors. I'd tell a friend to buy one. If you are wanting to try a proper yoga towel this is a good place to start. I'm giving it four stars because it just doesn't feel like a 5-star product. It's a very good product for the money and I'm pleased to own it but it doesn't move me to think "Great". I suspect it's because an old roommate of mine always had these cheap microfiber dishrags in the kitchen and it reminds me of those.
