Jade mats are made with natural rubber from the Far East and Western technology to form a mat that is perfect for your yoga practice. The Travel Mat is Jade’s lightest mat, and--at 24-by-68-by-1/8 inches (W x H x D)--is easily transportable and great for those who like closer contact with the ground. As Jade mats are made with open cell, natural rubber, you can say goodbye to slipping on your practice mat--even if it gets wet with perspiration. Natural rubber’s superior slip resistance properties ensure a solid grip every time, and additionally provide resilience, compression set resistance and cushioning, resulting in a solid blend of comfort and performance. The natural rubber used to create Jade mats is a renewable resource containing no PVC or ozone depleting substances, and the mats are made in the U.S.A. in compliance with all U.S. environmental and labor laws. Jade believes in being good to your body and good to the Earth, and--through a partnership with Trees for the Future--when you buy a mat, Jade plants a tree.

This mat has superb slip resistance, traction, and support is not bad, even though it is a relatively thin mat. It has held up to some very sweaty Ashtanga practices and it is excellent for travel at it is so light.

However, I feel the mat is a little less durable than I would have preferred as it seems like it's breaking down in some places and as some other reviewers have stated, gets little "knicks" in it.

And above all else, the biggest issue I have with this mat is that because of its open cell design and its extreme stickiness, it actually attracts dust, lint, and foreign matter VERY easily. After rolling and unrolling this mat on various surfaces at the many studios I teach and practice at, all kinds of debris has been transferred from the underside to the topside and back again. It's very hard to keep clean and that's a problem. If you move around a lot and practice at a lot of different places that are not ALWAYS perfectly clean, you can expect to find lots of little particles on this mat......

This is my second Jade Yoga Mat, and I'm still generally very happy with the mat! The mat has the best traction of those I've tried, and is nice and dense providing firm support. Since it's made of rubber, there is a slight scent, but even with a strong sense of smell, this has never bothered me. The mat's life span was about two and a half years with moderate use (2-3) yoga practices per week....

I brought this mat for a yoga teacher training workshop that I atteneded recently, and it worked great. I was a little apprehensive about the price, but after one use I didn't regret buying it at all. I didn't mind the smell, in fact once I started to use it I didn't notice it. And it is less slippery than other mats that I've tried and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quality mat to use....
