Comfortable, easy to carry. I actually took mine overseas in my luggage and it travelled just fine. Easy to fold, great foot grip, no factory or rubbery smell and I've now had it for over a year. Still in great condition. Read more
I thought it would be helpful to note that, indeed the mat arrives slippery. One nice salt bath and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I may give it one more lite salt bath though it’s probably not necessary. As for the plastic odor, I opened it up and let it air out flat. The color is true and vibrant. A good travel mat for the money. Namaste. Read more
I like this yoga mat now that it’s had time to air out but it had a very strong chemical smell when it first arrived to the point where I couldn’t use it. I left it unfolded in my garage for a week until I couldn’t smell it anymore. Otherwise it’s a nice, compact yoga mat that doesn’t slip and lies perfectly flat because you’re not rolling it up for storage. Read more
I really like this mat. It's a bit thicker and heavier than I was hoping, but it did fit in my carry on suitcase. It's a good length and good level of stickiness. I washed it in the shower right away and, by the next day, there was almost no smell. Read more
I bought this to use as a travel yoga mat. I liked the idea that you could fold it up in a manner that didn't allow the top surface to touch the bottom, keeping your practice area away from anything that has touched the floor. The mat is fairly thick, but it is very plastic-ish. I found it slippery and needed to use a yoga towel with it. It does fold up neatly, but I found I didn't like the seams when it was laid out. After traveling with it a couple of times, I realized that I could use a regular yoga mat. Rather than rolling it up where the floor side could touch my practice side, I simply fold it over on itself leave it like that, in an out of the way corner until the next day. I have a mat spray that I use after every practice and when I get home I give it a thorough washing, let it dry completely, roll it up and put it back it the bag, ready for the next trip. The mat rolled and placed it a bag is not any heavier and not that much larger than the folding mat. The only downside might be that you couldn't put that in a suitcase as you could with the folding one, but the folding one would take up a lot of room in the suitcase. I ended up keeping this mat in case anyone comes to visit and wants to practice with me, but didn't bring or doesn't have a mat. It is nice to have it for that reason, but I would not purchase this again. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Before I purchased this I looked for a video that would show me how thick the pad was.. yoga is not fun if the padding isn’t thick enough, but for travel you also want to make sure it’s portable weight. This was a huge WIN!! It came with its own bag, the mat was thick enough for any pose, it is slip resistant and everyone loved the design and colors! No smell. Easy to clean, just wipe down if needed but it was pretty absorbent! I’d buy it again for sure! Read more
The mat is thick and not too light. But the smell of plastic was quite strong when it was new. The carrier was great as it helps make the whole mat tidy. The surface was good and not sticky. The folding was easy as the folding lines were already made. Read more
I like the idea if a folding yoga mat, but the chemical smell that came out of it was horrible. Everyone in yoga class was asking me about it. I went to send it back and they told me to keep it and they would refund me. I got the refund and gave the mat to the Goodwill. Read more
