Frequently Asked Questions
Wash microfiber sports towels ideally at 40 °C (or 60 °C if permitted by the manufacturer) and absolutely never use fabric softener, which clogs their absorbent fibers. If your towels or bag still smell funky after washing, add half a cup of plain white vinegar to the wash (or to a hand-soak for the bag). The vinegar reliably destroys all odor-causing bacteria and restores freshness to the fabric.
It depends on how you commute to the gym (a backpack is better for biking or motorcycling), but the absolute most important feature of any good fitness bag is a separate and ventilated shoe compartment. This ensures you don't get your clean clothes dirty with muddy soles. Another huge advantage is a waterproof or rubberized pocket for sweaty gear or a wet towel, which protects the rest of your dry items.
You will feel the difference mostly in your gym bag. Classic cotton is nice, but the towel is huge, absorbs sweat, becomes heavy, and takes a long time to dry. Microfiber towels are extremely compact (taking up a third of the space), dry literally in a flash, and have natural antibacterial properties, meaning they smell significantly less in your bag after a workout.
Sweatbands are still absolutely invaluable for a hard workout. If you sweat a lot, sweat runs down your arms directly into your palms. Wet palms mean a slippery barbell and a weak grip, which will limit you during heavy sets much faster than your actual muscle strength. A wrist sweatband stops this runoff, and you can also use it to quickly wipe your forehead without having to search for a towel.
It is not a silly fashion trend; it is absolutely practical! During heavy deadlifts or weightlifting, you have to drag the barbell closely against your shins. High sports socks (crew socks) act as a perfect shield that protects your shins from getting scraped and bleeding. Additionally, they provide slight compression to the ankle and calf, which increases your comfort during heavy lifting.
