Is this towel slippery?

No it's not slippery. Took it rafting down the Grand Canyon and it was great! It dried fast when used.

No I did not find it slippery. It absorbed the water very well and dried very quickly. Great product....bought 3.

It is not. Microfiber was absorbent and very useful while I was out in the elements. (Rain, snow, sea spray) Actually hiked and slipped dunking my lens (lightly) in the snow. Saved me from water marks on my lens and the rest of the photo shoot went well.

I don't think it can be categorized as slippery. It is very smooth to the touch though. Very good to absorb water and easy to be folded into a small bag. It is more than double the size than I saw at the swim meet stand.

No. It's very absorbent and relatively thin - especially when compared to a conventional towel. The surface does have some tooth to it though - it feels a little like a thick chamois cloth when it's dry. It is easy to wring it out and then if you hang it up it dries quickly.

Unfortunately, I found this towel became a slippery as my mat and so after washing, gave it to a relative to try who said they keep it for travel (but not due to non-slip qualities)

I don't have an issue with slipping overall. But for very hot classes, I have a manukau towel that works beautifully on the mat.

When using it normally, I have no problems at all with gripibility. I've never used it wet or with wet hands, but that might become slippery. But normal use, I have no problems :) I would say it's slick, but not at all slippery

It does not have any rubber to add additional grip to the sides. That said, I have not felt that it was overly slick either. It is solid plastic though so I'm sure that given the right conditions it could become slippery.

Not slippery at all. Has a bit of a smooth rubberness to it. I put it in my back jean pocket or the little slot on my purse. Stays fine and is easy to pull out. If you put it on something, it doesn't slide off.

I don't find it slippery at all. It feels like the phone does without a case on it just ever so slightly larger.

It has a semi textured surface so it alone will not be slippery. The biggest cause of slipping will be grip strength or lack of and stability strength/ fatigue.

Yes it is slippery. I would say that it has no grip at all. Depending on the weight applied to it, it could slide around easily. Hope this helped. -JD

No. I used it for my balcony and shower in travertine, and it was not slippery

No it's not slippery. The only problems I have had were:1. I had to use small bungee cords to hold the bottom seat part on2. When I washed it, it washed great with the exception that the elastic came completely out of HHR bottome seat. I haven't washed the second one yet so I don't know if it would happen to the second seat or not.

Yes it's very soft to touch, absorbs water and dries very quickly and it does not slide or skid. It also machine washes well.

No, but I haven't had a problem with the towel sliding or bunching up ... it's usually wet. If for some reason you're not sweating a lot in your Bikram class, you can spray the towel with water beforehand or rinse it in the washer then roll it up with your mat. I haven't needed to do this, even for the areas of the towel that stay dry. I do it sometimes because the pre-wetted towel just feels cool during class :)

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.

I would not describe it as slippery. It's a flexible plastic so you can slide it into a pocket, but I haven't had any troubles with the sliding out of my hand.

No. It's not slippery. It kinda stayed in place if I sat it on the armrest in the car while i was driving. But it is thin and didn't provide enough protection in case I dropped the phone.

Totally! I use the eQua and the yoguitoes mat towels, both are very good and they will keep you from sliding, I preffer the eQua one with my manduka mat.
