Review: 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!
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does it compare with Yogo travel mat in terms of packability? (Size when folded)?**
A: If you're looking for this to be your 'stays in my carry on' mat - it is kind of big compared to other travel mats. It folds down great, but it's a thicker mat that I find to be overkill for hotel room yoga (I'm very happy I have it if I get time to hit a studio when on the road though). I use an international size carry on and this mat takes up about 1/4 of my suitcase.

**Q: Is this a good mat to put on top of a studio's mat for added thickness?**
A: It is probably not going to add much thickness.  I purchased it because it is extremely lightweight and portable for frequent air travel.  It is slightly tacky, so good if you sweat, but it doesn’t provide a lot of cushion.

**Q: how much does it weigh?**
A: The description says 1.8 lbs. It seems about that light. Much less and a high end yoga mat for sure. Folds to size of a laptop.

**Q: Has anyone used this outdoors? I want to use for yoga in the park but worried it will be too thin.**
A: I used it outdoors for goat yoga inland grass, and it was fine for me. Also...very easy to clean with..ahem...harsher cleaning chemicals when nature called the goats...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good travel mat
*by K***. on January 14, 2026*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great foldable, lightweight and portable yoga mat!
*by S***W on January 15, 2025*

I love how easy it is to fold this yoga mat and pack it into both my backpack and carry-on. Weighing just 2 pounds (around 1 kilogram), it’s incredibly lightweight and portable. At only 2 mm thick, it’s best used on a soft surface like carpet or layered over another yoga mat. I bring this foldable mat to yoga classes and the gym, placing it on top of provided mats for hygiene. No more worrying about sanitizing or touching other people’s sweat! I highly recommend this mat for anyone looking for a lightweight and foldable option.
