Gym towels are essential performance accessories that maintain hygiene and equipment integrity. At Ludyway, we engineer specialized fitness towels using advanced textile technology to meet rigorous athletic demands. Our ISO-certified manufacturing ensures each towel delivers optimal absorbency, durability, and microbial resistance for serious athletes.
Technical Functions of Performance Gym Towels
Premium gym towels serve dual engineering purposes:
- Moisture Management: Wicking away 500-800ml perspiration/hour during high-intensity training
- Barrier Protection: Creating hygienic interfaces with equipment surfaces (reducing bacterial transfer by 99.7%)
Ludyway’s custom towel solutions incorporate silver-ion antimicrobial treatments meeting ISO 20743 standards.
