Your favorite hot yoga gear?

I love lululemon's The Towel. I think it's $28. Not cheap, but it works for me. I have also found inexpensive towels at Marshalls. I think I prefer the lulu one, but my Marshalls one was half the price and it's decent. For hot yoga, I don't use a bag because I want my mat to breathe a little before I get home. I like the lululemon mat straps.

My studio provides manduka mats & towels - I LOVE them!

I have a Manduka towel that I love. I have a Manduka Prolite mat - which is still crazy slippery (but getting less so) even after a few months of use. I probably would try the Mat from LuLu next time I got a mat.

When I did hot yoga, I loved my Mysore rug to deal with slippage and sweat. Now I just use it for savasana, but it's 12 yrs old and you'd barely know it, just a little fading (I have Jaipur).

ETA: I just fold one end about 2ft in, then roll it up inside my yoga mat, fits in a standard bag.

I like my Jade mat. For towels, I have a Manduka and a YogiToes - neither totally stay put, but work well enough.

The mat from LLL. great for very sweaty sessions. No towel needed except for wiping myself off lol

i love my jade mat as well for hot yoga (and regular yoga!) I never slip and i keep the towel to the side, i have never had luck with the towels

I like the bag you chose, i think it will work perfect!

I recommend lululemon's The Mat for hot yoga. It's heavier and thicker than a typical yoga mat, but I don't slip at all. It's great. I also have the mat straps to cart it around, as it doesn't stay rolled up on its own.
It is more expensive at around $70, but I justify the cost on the fact that I'd probably spend that much or more on a pair of shoes if I were doing any other activity.
