The Best Gym Towels, According to Trainers, Supersweaters, and a Dermatologist

Lululemon The (Small) Towel ($18)

Lululemon's 26-inch sweat towel rolls up smaller than a water bottle. This compact towel will easily slip into your gym bag, belt bag, or back pocket, making it perfect for travel or bringing on the go.

Why we love it: Biking, HIIT, yoga, swimming — no amount of sweat is a match for this super absorbent towel. Form Fitness owner Morit Somers loves the microfiber fabric for it's super soft feel.

What's worth noting: It's pretty pricy for a compact towel, but you're paying for that Lululemon quality. Shoppers say they wish a little carrying case came with the towel for the premium price.
