This yoga mat is a pretty nice economical option. I have not tried a wide range of yoga mats – I see ones available for purchase that are like $120 and people (sometimes) gush over them, and I can't imagine what would make it worth that much money. For a $25 mat, this is perfectly functional in my opinion. I got it as a spare for my usual mat, which was a similar price point (several years ago, $20 from a membership store). I don't mind paying a little extra for something that is more durable since replacement costs add up and add to landfills, but I also know I'm not that hard on yoga mats – I don't wear shoes that could scrape/mar the surface, I don't wad it up and throw it in my car, and I rarely leave the rolled-up mat anywhere that the edges even could get rubbed, so I'm not sure what would be the "death" of the mat. (If I had to make a prediction, it would be my cat….and with what she's capable of, spending $120 on a yoga mat would be really silly.) Anyway, the included carry strap makes it that much easier to always roll it up. It's possible if you are used to $120 yoga mats that this would be inferior, but at least for what I'm used to, I think it's a great affordable option that I expect will last a long time.
Something review-readers should know about Vine reviews: Yes, we receive the product at no cost in exchange for an honest review, but 1) we do receive a tax form for “Non-Employee Compensation” reflecting taxable income based on the listed price of the items, and 2) I was instructed not to review items that I receive defective or damaged as it “may not be the fault of the seller/manufacturer” so ratings heavily influenced by Vine reviews may not account for a lack of product reliability. Just something to consider, as I know reviews guide my purchases and I appreciate taking all factors into consideration..
