great for travel anywhere
about the 5 stars for comfort and thickness: considering youâre buying a mat for travel that is 2mm thick, the comfort is what youâd expect. comfort in this category is about stickiness and LACK of thickness for travel and being the size and thickness of a laptop inside a protective case.
anyway, this is not a mat for hot yoga of any kind as it would need a towel to not be slippery with a lot of sweat. that said, vinyasa flow outside a heated room is totally doable. and just add a towel if you like hot yoga on the go.
i bought this for personal practice at work and traveling and doing yoga. i washed it with a mix of 50/50 white vinegar and water with a soft bristle brush and it has been great since. it is plenty sticky for poses like that. again, no major sweat or yoga outside in the rain. using for a relatively intense workout at a pace that keeps you from becoming dripping with sweat it works awesome!
i use between clients or at lunch at work. i will wear a tank top and looser yoga pants and cover it all w a suit jacket and no one can tell i am ready for yoga underneath. then, at lunch or between clients, i can drop the mat in my office and get a solid workout just removing my jacket or even the shirt i might wear, too. i cool down then add my office clothing back on the top half of my body.
for me, having a mat that allows that without a big tube sticking out of my bag all bulky is fantastic. the âsacrificesâ i deal with to have this fit into a work bag or suitcase are WELL worth it to me.
i can also use it in hot yoga/vinyasa flow just by bringing a towel.
i am totally happy with my purchase and think this is a totally usable travel mat that is easily carried. it also folds in on itself so the bottom touching the floor esp in an office or hotel room is not being introduced to the top when you canât clean it before putting it away. nice! the bottom folds to itself! again, less concern with dirt or whatever else also being exposed in your bag.
for the low price point and convenience i would easily purchase again. if you are used to a high end mat and get super drippy sweaty then maybe this isnât for you unless you bring a towel. however, being for travel and convenience it is fantastic in my opinion. gets lots of use!

Great travel mat
Nice travel mat, good grip that looks like it will last with proper care. No chemical smell, though I always clean mats before use anyway. Thin yet durable. It has creases so it folds up the same way each time. Definitely designed well for it’s purpose, and a fair price. If you’re looking for a quality travel mat, this would be it.
Things to consider:
If you are looking for an everyday mat, note that this was designed to travel well and is not thick enough to pad the knees or joints. Those with sensitivity should use a bath towel (something most hotels/stays provide) to pad the knees during poses like table or low lunge.
If you do hot yoga, the grip might not be enough; hot yoga requires special materials to accommodate excessive moisture/sweat.
Proper cleaning/care is a must to maintain any mat, and neglected mats degrade faster.
That said, this mat does it’s job. Good travel companion to keep up your practice even when away from home.

Good mat but thin
Nice mat, but very thin material. Not much cushion at all. Pretty and folds up well.

Perfect for travel
While it’s thinner than my regular mat, it folds and packs easily and is grippy enough for my practice. I used it every day during an extended vacation and at home I’m using it doubled to add extra padding under the center of my usual Gaiam mat. Well worth the money!

Travels well
This fits perfectly in the unused front pocket of my carry on suitcase. Itâs a bit slippy new, but itâs so so so much better than nothing when doing yoga while traveling for work.

Folds, but slippery when sweaty
This mat works as advertised, it’s great for travel and folds up nicely into a suitcase or bag. The mat is on the thin side, but that’s clearly advertised, and its a travel mat, not made for luxury. My issue and the reason for 3 stars is their coating on the mat. It is advertised as being super sticky/grippy, which it is until you have a single drop of sweat on you. At that point it becomes a slip-n-slide. I want to love this mat, and it’s still useful for travel. Maybe, hopefully, the coating with change with more use and I won’t be paranoid about falling on my face while downward dog-ing.

Compact!
High quality material made for on the go!
I used this product for traveling and it was worth it! Comes with a cardboard sleeve to keep mat in place. Mat folds into a compact square; easy to fit into a suitcase or backpack! Unfolds into a large, spacious mat. Great comfort and easy stability for workouts or yoga. Easy nonstick, no slip material. Doesnât come with a strap. Overall mat is great!

Lightweight Perfect for Travel, Mat Need Anti-slip Socks/gloves
Great design, pattern and concept. Iâm traveling every five weeks for the next year so I felt like this was a valid purchase. As others have mentioned, it is more slippery than my traditional yoga mat. That would be the only reason I would consider returning it, but I am going to take it on this first trip to see how it goes. I am pleasantly surprised by the size. It is only three or 4 inches shorter than my traditional yoga mat at most. I think that if I buy yoga socks and gloves, it will rectify the slippery situation.

Lightweight, waterproof and durable yet still comfy enough to use on the hardest of surfaces. Easy to clean.

Esse tapete de yoga é simplesmente lindo! Comprei para dar de presente a minha esposa e ela amou! Usa todos os dias. a qualidade dele é excelente e ele é super prático de transportar, já que é dobrável. A única coisa que não é tão boa é que se você suar muito, o tapete fica escorregadio.

Il tappetino è perfetto per il viaggio. à uguale alla foto. Il fatto che si può piegare come un asciugamano o libro oppure arrotolarlo come un normale tappetino è molto comodo. Si può attaccare allo zaino oppure metterlo dentro il trolley. Non è un tappetino uso yogico da tutti i giorni ma esclusivamente quando c’è il bisogno di spostarsi oppure c’è poco spazio nella valigia.
