Grip Gloves vs Mat Grip Towel: Traction Showdown

Quick answer

Grip gloves excel for reformer and equipment-based workouts, while the mat grip towel is better for mat-based, high-sweat sessions. Your choice depends on whether you need hand-specific grip or full-mat stability.

Trade-offs at a glance

• Grip Gloves: Best for reformer, hot mat, and weighted flows where hand-specific grip on equipment is critical. Choose gloves when you need to grip bars, straps, or weights securely.
• Mat Grip Towel: Best for mat-based yoga or pilates where full-body stability and sweat absorption are priorities. Choose the towel when your mat gets slippery from sweat or dynamic movement.
• Combined Use: Using both together can offer maximum traction: gloves for hand contact, towel for mat stability.

Product facts

• Grip Gloves - Cool Pink: Designed for reformer workouts, hot mat classes and weighted flows, our grip gloves deliver extra grip and stability as movements become more advanced and workouts intensify. If your practice involves equipment or weights, gloves provide targeted hand grip that a towel cannot.

  

• Mat Grip Towel - Cool Pink: The soft, suede-like microfibre surface absorbs moisture as your workout heats up, while the durable non-slip backing helps anchor it securely to your mat. For sweaty mat sessions, the towel keeps your entire practice surface dry and slip-free, which gloves alone cannot achieve.
