Today we'll be reviewing the Jade Travel Yoga Mat.
Let’s see why it’s such a popular product.
Pros:
- Extremely lightweight
- Non-slip surface
- Comes in different colors
- Lightweight and portable
- Great traction
- Very comfortable
- Easy to roll up
- The seams are glued and place evenly
- No odor
- Has a good feel to it
Cons:
- Doesn’t offer much padding
- It’s not thick, but this should be fine for most people
- It’s thinner than other yoga mats that are high-quality
- The towels can get slippery with some new users because it’s a bit rough when you first purchase it
When it comes to yoga mats, the last thing you want its for them to tear, turn an ugly brown color, or just start to smell after a few uses.
The Jade Travel Mat delivers all this and more thanks to its natural rubber, and the fact that it's eco-friendly.
This 11-by-2 yoga mat is designed to fit perfectly inside a yoga tote bag and weighs in at a mere ½-pound.
Its overall dimensions are 11-by-2-inches when fully rolled, meaning it should fit in most compact yoga bags that are 2-by-11-inches. It's 10.5-inches wide by 2.75-inches thick when rolled out initially. The most impressive thing about this mat is its thickness of 2-inches, which is more than double the most common 1-inch thickness.
The material feels just like it sounds when it comes to being sticky and grippy. It's really smooth with no branding or markings on it. It's got a little tack to it and it's incredibly easy to take on and off whatever bag you decide to carry it in.
Word of caution: Keep the mat rolled in a storage bag when not in use or you'll be fighting a war with it to get it back in there!
You can really tell that it's a high-quality product when you first unroll it because it doesn't have that awful glue smell people have come to know and hate.
This is an incredible-looking mat, but more importantly, it's a unique product with real impact.
