Really great mat. This is my second one. My first one lasted 6 years having used it on average 2-3 times a week (and embarrassed to say but leaving it in the car in summers!). As the mat aged it hardened and lost grip. I have the much more expensive Pro mat too but actually prefer this one because of the lighter weight, and so easier to carry when going to the yoga studio. The grip is great. It's ク マ. · manduka.jp
