The Shandali GoSweat is a third the price of the Manduka eQua and performs about half as well
This review only compares the Manduka eQua and and Shandali GoSweat. I am the big guy in the hot yoga class. I weigh a lot and sweat a lot. My conclusion is that If you want a good mat for less than $20 get the Shandali. If you want a great mat, get the Manduka.I picked up this GoSweat for $17 because I was told that it had similar performance to the $50 Manduka eQua. Coming out of the package they looked and felt very similar. They both gripped my yoga mat very well but once the sun salutations ended, I could tell that the eQua better.The GoSweat had great grip for my hands and feet. The eQua was slightly better.The GoSweat did a fine job of absorbing my sweat and minimizing pooling. The eQua did it better and faster.The only place that the GoSweat let me down is the pilling. I am on the 3rd usage and there still pills forming below the places my feet and hands do the most rubbing and twisting. By the end of class, there are pills clinging to my pants and shirt.The Shandali GoSweat is a great value and a good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for Sweaty Yoga
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024
Color: Evening BlueSize: 72.00" x 26.50"Verified Purchase
I have purchased several of these in various colors and I love them all. The same quality as a Manduka towel but half the price. I always use in my hot yoga practice. The grip is sturdy without the bumps that some of these towels have which is so uncomfortable and hard on the hands. But I will say they do need moisture to activate the grip. So if you’re trying to use for a non sweaty practice it will not work.

Pros:

- Lightweight: Easy to carry and transport, suitable for on-the-go yoga practice.
- Absorbent Material: The towel effectively soaks up sweat during hot yoga sessions, keeping you dry.
- Good Value for Money: Provides excellent value for the price, delivering the expected functionality.

Cons:

- Initial Washing Required: Needs to be washed before use to prevent pilling.
- Slippage: Tends to slip and slide during the initial stages of practice until it becomes wet.
- Limited Grip: Lacks specialized grips, making it less suitable for dynamic or fast-paced yoga styles.
- Not Ideal for All Yoga Styles: May not be the best choice for yoga styles that involve a lot of movement due to the slippage issue.

3.0 out of 5 stars and thought the "#1 Best Hot Yoga Towel
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2015
Color: GraySize: 72.00" x 26.50"Verified Purchase
I do hot yoga regularly and wanted to get a new mat towel into the rotation. I was looking for a less expensive option to the Yogitoes Skidless mat towels I currently own, and thought the "#1 Best Hot Yoga Towel, Super Absorbent, 100% Microfiber, Anti-Slip, SUEDE, Best Bikram / HOT Yoga Towel..." at $22 sounded ideal. It's less than half the price, and I liked it right away out of the box. It's definitely soft, I like how it feels against my skin, and it's quite large - overhangs my yoga mat by at least an inch on all sides, which is fine. I washed it right away and put it into practice the next day.

The first time I used it, I didn't wet it. I never wet my Yogitoes towels, and even though this towel doesn't have anything to "grip" against your mat, the suede texture felt like it would provide some level of non-slip. And I suppose it does... if you're comparing it to a regular house towel or beach towel. My feet and hands don't slip at all on this product, but this product doesn't stay in place on the mat nearly as well as compared to the Yogities. Whether I'm hopping forward, sliding through, or turning my feet for placement - the towel moved or bunched EACH time. Every time we returned to downward dog, I found myself using the opportunity to smooth it back into place, and once I had to stop during class to reposition it and smooth it because it was driving me nuts. Near the end of class, by the time my sweat and general studio humidity had put moisture into the towel, it wasn't sliding as much. But it was still a huge disappointment.

The next time I used it, I wet it using the studio spray bottle. It definitely helped, but it still moved or bunched pretty easily, so I thought maybe I hadn't wet it enough. So the last time I used it, I poured water from my bottle onto the mat in several spots to make sure it was dampened all the way through in several areas. This definitely helped - but even damp, it still bunches under my feet if I'm "turning" my feet or hands for various poses, or twisting against it. It's not terrible, and it hasn't required stopping class to reposition like it did that first day. Occasional bunching is easy enough to smooth out during a downward dog... but at the end of the day, this is no where NEAR the "best" I was expecting based on the item description and the few reviews I read. I will say, it does a great job of soaking up sweat! So perhaps if you have an advanced practice (where you're pretty much floating lightly in and out of poses), and you're looking for something that will actually draw moisture away from you, then I think this would work well. But if you're not advanced and you don't want to be distracted by your mat towel during practice, spend the extra money and get the Yogitoes or another mat with the rubber/silicone grippers that will actually grip against your mat during poses to help keep it in place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Hot Yoga towel stays put and stays dry
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014
Verified Purchase
This Shandali towel is THE towel to purchase if you are serious about your yoga practice. After practicing hot yoga for a year with a hand-me-down mat and a beach towel, I purchased this Shandali towel along with a Manduka PROlite yoga mat for myself for Christmas. A friend also gave me a different hot yoga towel that was said to be top rated. After trying both towels with my new mat and making some comparisons, I can HIGHLY recommend this Shandali towel. This towel stays put even when I transition between poses where my foot may slide all the way from the back to the font of the mat or vice versa (e.g., from downward facing dog to pigeon). I have also noticed that even when I am in a long class and really dripping with sweat, this towel feels dry. It has really been amazing to me. Perhaps this towel works so well because of my new mat, but I have noticed a lot of movement, moisture, and bulk in my other towel, so I think the Shandali towel is really the key. This towel is very lightweight and super thin; when folded, it hardly takes up any space in my gym bag. I prefer the gray color because it is not visually distracting, and the size is perfect for my 71" mat (medium size). Even after washing, the towel fits perfectly from front to back of the mat, and it provides about an inch of overhang on both the left and right sides. Finally, the price of this towel is very low compared to other high-quality towels I researched. After washing, I let this towel air dry because I want to prolong the life of the towel, and I have noticed that it dries very quickly. Today, I plan on purchasing a second Shandali towel so I can always have a fresh one on hand when I go to class. I hope you enjoy this towel as much as I do, and I think you will find that it enhances your practice by increasing your stability in friction-sensitive positions, such as downward facing dog (my hands NEVER slip with this towel), and by reducing the amount of distractions that can arise from a poor-quality towel.

This is nothing but a towel...I use this during hot flow on top of a yoga mat and every movement your feet or hands make on this, the towel bunches up and behaves just like a regular towel, sliding this way and that. It doesn't remain flat and I've had to find another towel so that I didn't spend half the time fiddling with the towel trying to rearrange it whilst in poses.

Works well during hot yoga, absorbs sweat quickly. Does move around a little bit before it gets wet but you can always wait til you're warm and then put it over your mat. Thinner material than others I've tried. Would buy again.
