Does it get soaked with sweat like other mats do in hot yoga?

I use it for hot yoga so I put a yogi toes towel over it. Over all I like it. Not your typical mat

Hi, I think it absorbs well moderate to low sweating, but if sweating is high could make it a little slippery.

It absorbs some sweat, but it is not ever dripping. I think it is best to leave your mat rolled out to dry after practice with any mat.

It will get a bit wet, we do recommend bringing a towel as well, to wipe down the mat and body.

yes...sweat will always make something slippery, plus it feels better to have sweat wiped away, even though the mat is very nice...

I now just travel w Gaiam yoga mat towels. There are different styles and thickness - outstanding for hot yoga - and you just lay over the studio funky mats :)I've tried the Manduka towels and they are not nearly as well made and they constantly bunch up on top of mat irritating

Only have worn it for 1 hour during workout. It will get wet but not a wet feeling under as I wear it tight.

No, this one doesn't go in water at all. However, the heat feels "moist" but it is not like a hot wet towel.

It sticks great to the floor and is pretty good on top (with your hands and feet) unless you are poring with sweat- then is may give a little- but the surface has never been slippery for my hands and feet during hot yoga- hope this helps- I recommend buying it-

I use this towel 4 times a week at my "hot yoga" class (105 degress)--it is super absorbant and does not slip when wiping sweat. I love it!

I think it is. I sweat a lot so a normal towel just doesn't cut it. I have a "yogitoes" towel as well but I much prefer the Manduka towel to the point that I no longer use the yogitoes towel and only keep it in case my Manduka towel is dirty. I haven't used the yogitoes towel for six months. I highly recommend the Manduka towel. It is light weight and drys quickly. If you sweat like I do, get the extra long version to get more water retention.

But yes when you use it. it makes you sweat and the covering doesn't absorbs it.

I always hang my mat to dry after each hot yoga class. My mat is dries overnight and is ready for class the next day and I'm a heavy sweater. But remember NEVER hang it in the sun to dry!

Yes we recommend bringing a towel in addition to this mat for hot yoga. Please give the mat a few uses to break it in and loosen the jute fibers to provide maximum traction. Thanks for your interest in our Barracuda Yoga mat! Tasha

HI Marilyn, If you do not want to slip on your mat because of sweat, you might want to try the eQua towel from Manduka or the Yoguitoes Skidless towel, they are amazing and the more you sweat, the more they stay put, it's a great addition to any mat.

Mine didn't make me sweat at all. Mine has been washed at least twelve times so far, and it still looks gorgeous. The point of real silk satin is so you DON'T sweat (vs. polyester satin).

I love the mat. Great grip(I do hot yoga ) and holds up against sweat. It is dense thought I do put a cheap mat underneath. Most would be ok without but I am very sensitive to pressure in my knees.

No. It leaves my floor hot and steamy. Sometimes there are small spots of damp left behind, but they're dry within moments.

Hi... It does stick to the floor but to be honest I am not really a fan. We practice hot vinyasa so we get really sweaty and this is not the right mat for me. I have had great results with the Aurorae Synnergy though.

Yes, it does sweat, mostly on the bottom. It isn't too drippy unless I put a whole bunch of ice in it.
