One embodiment being an athletic towel consisting of two distinct portions, one portion being of free hanging absorbent material ( 52 ) and the other portion being pocketed. In the case of this embodiment, the pocketed portion has two pockets ( 30 A, 30 B), each of which has a fastener at its opening for closure. One pocket has a zipper for its fastener ( 34 ) and the other has a hook and loop fastener ( 38 A, 38 B). The pocket with the hook and loop fastener has a set of pull tabs ( 42 A, 42 B) centered at the edge of its opening ( 32 A). Two strap ends ( 44 A, 44 B) extend from the pocketed portion, and terminate with a hook and loop fastener ( 46 A, 46 C) with which the strap ends can be secured around a secondary object. The resulting single article provides a user with a towel to wipe off perspiration, pockets in which to securely store small, personal items, and, in this embodiment, a strap as means to keep both towel and personal items within near proximity and off of unsanitary gymnasium flooring while engaged in fitness activities. Every component of this embodiment is made of materials that can be machine washed and dried.
