Before I discovered the NIcool Sports Cycling Towel on Amazon, my favorite towel for when I row, erg, spin, and go to the gym, was my small collection of fading gym towels I had from being a member of Golds Gym at least a decade ago. But now, I have replaced my sacred gym towels with some very thick cotton towels that are just the right dimensions at 43"x13.75". I found them on Amazon for $19.99. That may sound like a lot, but they'll last forever and come in a number of colors (I have only ordered white towels because I am a masochist). But I think they're built to last.

A good, durable, towel, can be used for many different things, including being a workout assist. One can hook this oblong towel, which is extremely over-engineered and over-built, through the handle of a kettlebell and do a kettlebell towel swing. I also keep these towels, which aren't small or thin or microfiber but thick, absorbant, cotton terrycloth. Throw it in the washer, the dryer, add bleach, and do whatever you need. Even if it shrinks or curls up or discolors? Call it patina. Call it earned mileage. Besides, you don't need to get it in white. You can get it in whatever color you want, including black, grey, pink, and white. You can buy them in pair, in color mixes.  I will try to get some photos of me with the towel in the wild. Below is a bunch of info about the towel from Amazon:
