Yogo Ultralight Folding Travel Yoga Mat with Attached Straps, FSC®-Certified Plant Rubber, Sticky Grip, Non-Slip, Best Travel Yoga Mat®

Since my favorite mat is the Manduka EKO 6mm (super thick), I was concerned about the support of a thinner, foldable travel mat. (I tried taking my Manduka on one vacation and it took up 1/3 of my suitcase). I read every online blog and Amazon review for the Manduka, Jade and other popular brands. At the end of it, I settled on this one because of what I'd read about the comfort and quality. While it was a little pricier than the other high end equivalent mats, the trade off for ease of cleaning and self-contained travel strap seemed a worthwhile shot.As soon as I opened the package I was immediately impressed with the stickiness, both front and back, of the mat. I spent an hour with it on tile and hardwood floors, as well as on carpet. Ironically, it was far more comfortable on the harder surfaces, since it didn't move at all under my feet. While it certainly doesn't have the cushion of my 6mm mat, it has a surprising amount of comfort for a thin profile. Maybe I've just toughened up a bit since I started using my 6mm mat, but I feel like this mat provides enough cushion or any typical yoga class without any additional support.Unlike my Manduka mat, the natural rubber smell from this mat was very minimal upon first opening. This would be preferred by many travelers, especially those purchasing right before travel, without time to air it out. I washed it the same night (to test drying) and already I can barely notice the rubber smell at all.In terms of quality, I feel that this is definitely a well-made mat. The bottom side rubber is an adequate thickness and quality. The top has a natural look with irregularities that add character, but do not seem like errors. While the edges of the mat look unfinished, this seems to be more of a function of compactness and does not seem to affect the quality of the mat itself.For reference, I do not usually take hot yoga classes nor do I have exceedingly sweaty palms. I'm an intermediate level practitioner who uses the mat for Hatha, Kripalu and Vinyasa classes, as well as mat Pilates. My only caveat for this mat would be for cardio Pilates classes, as the crease in the middle when the mat is new might be a little awkward to avoid with standing cardio movements. From what I've read, the crease will eventually fade over time (I've already seen it soften after one washing/hanging in the shower) so that might not be an issue after the first few weeks.All in all, I look forward to some great practice on this mat.-----------UPDATE 3/19/2020This mat traveled wonderfully for me, from plane to car to boat. Overall I was very pleased with the performance. It performed best on hard floors with a small amount of cushioning (e.g. floors with a rubber/plastic coating), but still did just fine on carpet and hardwood. I did try several hot yoga classes with it, and found it slippery in the heated rooms. Luckily I had read another review that mentioned this, so I picked up a thin yoga mat towel, and together they performed just fine. The folding crease is definitely fading with use and washing, but it is something to watch for in a cardio class to make sure you don't trip. I truly love how easy it is to wash and hang to dry, and appreciate the fact that I can fold the back side up so that it germs from the floor don't touch me or my car on the way home until I can wash it. Overall, still 5 star, would recommend to others and would buy again!

This is the nicest yoga mat that I've ever owned. It packs wonderfully, is extra grippy, and the plum color is lovely.

I bought two YOGO mats - the Ultralight Long Yoga mat for my husband, and the standard Ultralight for me. I'll post the same review under each product, but to be clear, they have different dimensions. The Ultralight Long is a little thicker (2mm), and is larger (6 feet long & slightly wider @ 29 inches x 72 inches). The standard Ultralight is thinner (.5mm), and is smaller (just under 5 ' 7" @ 24 inches x 68 inches).I own at least a dozen yoga mats, literally, and have purchased several compact, folding and travel mats. These YOGO mats are now my go-to mats. They have great grip, are very well designed and durable, are eco-friendly and made of plant-based materials, are easy to clean (they don't absorb water, and you just rinse and hang in the shower with the built-in straps/loops), are very compact (see photos and video - they'll literally fit in a large purse or under your car's seat), and are very reasonably priced.For context, I practice Bikram (Hot) Yoga weekly, and will occasionally attend a Vinyasa or traditional (non-hot) yoga class with my husband. I always keep a yoga mat in my car and in my office. My traditional (roll-up) yoga mats have frustrated me becuase they're big & bulky )they get in the way in the car, and I often have to take them out to make room in my car (eg. baby stuff, strollers, car-seats tend to take priority), which has left me at the yoga studio many times without a yoga mat becuase I forgot to put it back in my car. I don't like paying to rent yoga mats; besides being frugal, they're always gross and smelly. Plus, every roll-up mat puts nasty germs, bacteria and gross stuff from the studio/other people on the surface I lie/practice on just by nature from rolling them up when done. These mats fold up in a way that ALWAYS keep the yucky stuff from the bottom, on the bottom. The way you fold it keeps the 'bottom' and the 'top' isolated. This is particularly important to me as I often practice in hot (102-degree) and humid yoga studios, which have nasty floors (despite the studio owners' best efforts.)I've bought and compared these to folding and 'travel' mats made by Gaiam, Manduka (Mandua eKo SuperLite Travel Yoga & Pilates Mat), Navris Foldable Yoga Mat, Khataland YoFoMat, and Toplus Travel Yoga Mat. These YOGO mats are my favorite and the only ones I've kept and use. I talk a little bit about this in my video review (attached).These are very durable, have great grip (and don't require 'broken' down or 'worn' down like Gaiam & Manduka mats), are clean and easy to clean, and are wonderfully compact and portable. I spent an embarrassing amount of time researching and trying out other yoga mats, and just hope my review helps others in a similar situation. Namaste!
