Poor boys. While ladies have every color of the rainbow to choose from in their yoga gear closet, you have the color palette of the 70's - Rust, olive and some wacky shades of burnt orange or maroon. It seems like no matter what you're looking for in blocks, mats, straps or bags, they all have female flair. Right? Wrong.

More and more boutiques and yoga gear creators are keeping the male in mind. Not just for colors, but for function. So whether you're shopping for the male yogi in your life or conducting your own self-shop, check out these just-for-men product profiles right here on the web.

Macho Yoga Bags: Manduka Mat Bag and Saka Gati Yoga Mat Bag

These two bags are made with men in mind, coming in stone, graphite and natural colors, they both carry spaces for wallet, keys and cell phone without sacrificing cool points.

Klean Kanteen Water Bottles

Carting around your own water saves on waste, money and promotes a cleaner environment. Take one that's as many as it sounds, made with 100% recyclable, 18/8, food-grade, stainless steel. 

Ahead of the heat: Organic Men's Sweat Band

Hot or warm yoga can work you into a sweat. Keep the heat away from your eyes and your focus in tact with this sweat band from Vickerey, in three different colors (Black, Charcoal and Navy).

Manduka Men's Yoga Towels

While bright, spunky colors are sure to garner attention, stay more with your color faves with Manduka yoga towels. Choose from fern, granite, timber or citrus on one of these over-sized yoga towels. Yoga towels give traction to sweaty hands and feet and also serves as a travel or hiking towel, designed to take up minimal packing space.

Prana Natural Yoga Mat

Love the earth while keeping your man card. This mat is rugged yet soothing and offered in colors such as natural, sage and mustard.  Biogradeable, with anti-slip properties, Prana's Natural Yoga Mat is free from glue, coatings or toxins.

Free from head to toe: City Loafers

No ensemble is complete without shoes. Barefoot rules apply in the yoga studio, but make your exit complete with these relaxed feel and urban look loafers. You can also wear these for a casual weekend outing or pair with khakis for a night on the town. The best part is, you'll never know they're vegan.
