After a long time practicing using the studio mats, I decided to buy a mat of my own.
A good thing about the mat is that it's not foamy. It's solid, but bouncy enough to protect knees and so on. However, I was really disappointed in other respects.
It sticks when it shouldn't, and doesn't stick when you need it to.
As my hands get slightly damp, which happens probably in the first 5 minutes of class, the traction goes. But it still grabs any clothing or hair that may come in contact with it. It also likes to stick to my toes when I try to switch between up and down dog. Over a short time, the mat has started to disintegrate on top. It has also started to come loose from the floor, and since it is so stretchy, it can acquire some very interesting contortions as my feet start going in different directions while attached to the mat.
It smells, but that's not something I care about. I've always loved the smell of rubber....

I recently purchased this mat to take away on trips etc.
Pros:
-It is made of natural rubber containing no PVC.
-It can be washed with cold water and mild soap.
-It is thin (1/8") and rolls up neatly and compactly.
-Though thin, it is not as thin as the messy Gaiam mats, it doesn't bunch up.
-It offers good support as well as closeness to the ground, which is perfect for challenging balance poses.
-The width and length are almost equivalent to a standard mat, which offers lots of practice space.
-The grip seems excellent, much better than my other mats, but I haven't used it much yet. Verdict's open on that one for now.
-Sustainability commitment: for every mat made, a rubber tree is planted- yeh!
Cons:
-The biggest disadvantage in my view, for something that claims to be a travel mat, is it's weight. The rubber makes it heavier than expected! I was surprised to pick it up the first time and realize it's actually heavier than my regular mats. The packaging claims 'it is lighter in weight for yogis on the go', but I find this to be an inaccurate statement.
-The rubber is fairly smelly. I know it's natural, coming from the trees and all, and that the packaging says the smell goes away, but right now my face, hair and body smell like a latex glove. Btw, yes, this product is not suitable for those with latex or rubber allergies.
-The mat should not be exposed to direct sunlight. I'm guessing it might warp/deform.
ADDENDUM:
Ok, used the mat in various outdoors settings, including in hot Mediterranean weather, and can testify that that this mat has super grip: no sweat slips, no bunching up, no tagging hair and clothes. It offers perfect traction and I daresay I have pulled off some of the most intensely satisfying dog poses on this mat (no towels, no socks, no nothing)! It rolled up in my suitcase very tightly, as expected. It's not light, but it's certainly compact.
Approved!...
