Gaiam Yoga Mat – Folding Travel Fitness & Exercise Mat – Foldable Yoga Mat for All Types of Yoga, Pilates & Floor Workouts (68″L x 24″W x 2mm Thick)

great for travel anywhere
about the 5 stars for comfort and thickness: considering you’re buying a mat for travel that is 2mm thick, the comfort is what you’d 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 “sacrifices” 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 can’t 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 isn’t for you unless you bring a towel. however, being for travel and convenience it is fantastic in my opinion. gets lots of use!

Perfect for travel but a bit thin
I got this mat to use on a trip and it has been great ever since. It’s noticeably thinner than the Gaiam mat I use at home and for yoga class, but I knew that it would be thinner in order to fold. It’s pretty good overall, but you wouldn’t want to use it on very hard floor surface or your hands will become angry with you during downward dog! I appreciate having this to pack in my bag so I can do yoga in my hotel or check out local yoga studios when I travel.

Very thin and narrow – not comfortable to use on a regular basis
It does fold to a flat square that fits great in a suitcase. For me it is too thin – does not provide enough protection / padding. I know the point is compactness, but any poses with knees on the floor are very uncomfortable. It is also quite narrow, so it is not fully functional for a typical workout. It’s not much different than being on a bare wood floor. My hands also slid pretty easily. It is easy to clean though. I haven’t returned it, but I definitely will only use it in an “emergency”.

Good travel mat
Love this mat. Packed stacked or flat. Was easy to use. Provided thin pad with Gaiam traditional sticky workout mat. Great for travel or using outside on grass or sand. Narrow width made it easy to use in hotels.

Este tapete é muito bom para quem precisa de viajar ou está sempre em andamento e não consegue levar tapetes grandes.É fino, o que faz com que se sinta mais o chão mas para mim não é problema.Cumpre bem a sua finalidade.

Light weight, tough, non slip and comfortable.
