Does the mat still grip when your hands and feet sweat?

it grips as well as any mat I've used. if you're going to be sweating a lot, you might want to invest in grippy socks and/or gloves.

The material that the mat is made of is high quality. I have never had a problem with slipping.

It doesn't have any grippers, but the plastic material is kind of textured. I mever had any problems with slipping.

That happens sometimes on this mat. I have sprayed the mat so that doesn't happen. Sometimes I forget my spray and have my water bottle. I will wet my hands and the mat a bit to prevent slipping which usually occurs during dry cool beginnings. Once there is moisture, no matter how much, I am stuck to this mat like a fly on sticky tape. lol. Hope it helps ;)

I haven't had that problem, and I don't always use gloves when using the rings, it slides nicely. Of course my hands probably don't sweat as much as some and my use of the rings might be different than yours; I do not use them for gymnastics, I use them for Crossfit. I hope that helps...

This mat is for a carpet area, not hardwood floors. It has feet on the bottom to grip the carpet.

You might have already figured it out, but for sweaty hands I finally found a temporary magic called Carpe which you can get it on amazon. For 30 years I had suffered from my palms getting sweaty at every important moment that I needed to shake hands or at exams,.. Carpe worked for me, it takes 10 to 15 min to kick in and it stays pretty dry.

Yes they get slippery. They are textured pretty good but its still plastic and it gets tough when your hands get sweaty. And I use these outdoors in phoenix in the dead heat of summer. I like to think it makes the workout harder tho.

This mat does not absorb sweat. You can definitely wipe it off. My husband sweats a lot on his bike, which is on this mat.

It will help for awhile unless you begin to sweat. Suggest washing your mat with mild soap and water or getting a better mat.

It depends on what you are doing. I have 2 mats side by side and do tons of lateral cardio movements (jumping, sprints, etc) between the two. Over the course of an hour the mats will slip maybe a total of 1" with heavy use. If I am just lifting weights there is no slippage.

Yes they do have some grip, not a non-slip sandpaper level of grip, but I don't find that my feet slip off.

I've practiced both with and without a towel on this mat. Without a towel the mat becomes slippery with slight perspiration because the mat does not absorb moisture, which is mainly a problem for me during downward facing dog. Because of this, I usually place a towel on the mat after I've completed sun salutations when I'm warmed up. The towel provides traction for my hands and feet, and stays put on the mat. I've had different results with different brands of towels. Manduka's eQua mat towels have provided the best grip with this mat.

The mat's rubber surface isn't particularly slick and the mat is very heavy. I wouldn't think it too likely to slip.

The top of the mat is and very easy to clean. The under part is not. That is where the padding is and it is sponge like. The mat feels real good under your feet.

The armband itself can get sweaty but I haven't had any problems with if falling down my arm. The actual phone case is silicone and attaches to the armband so the sweat will not reach the phone.

No, not like microfiber - I know that feels really weird when you sweat -- It is like a really thin, sort of worn wash cloth. That is the best way I know how to describe the texture of the mat. This is not to say that the mat is worn and not durable though. Love it, use it, and wash it once or twice a week for months now.
