Jade Harmony Environmentally Friendly Yoga Mat - XW (Longer 80") Color: Midnight Blue

Wonderful yoga mat. No more slipping. Nice cushioning. Just the right amount. Love the extra width and length. Worth the money. If you love yoga, splurge!!

I read all of the positive reviews so decided to get this mat. I am a big guy so there are very few options for this size. It turns out that it is really thin. Maybe I didn't read the specs, but it must be a 3 mm mat. Still, it has good cushioning and is good enough. It is stickier than my $16 mat that I had before, but I still slip a bit when I sweat. It's not a full slip out, but just kind of a slow creep with my hands during down-dog. I was hoping for 100% positive grip, but maybe that just doesn't happen with yoga mats. I'm relatively new and this is my second high-end mat. The first one I got I sent back after 1 day because it was really slippery- and shorter than it's advertised length. Anyway, it's not as thick and grippy as I was hoping for, but good enough for now. If or when I get another, I think I'll try a Maduka. That's the most common high-end mat I see in class. Oh, and another thing, I didn't realize that midnight blue shows all the dirt and dust from your feet. After the first session, it had dirty foot prints all over it. I guess that's why most mats are pastel light colors- so that you can't see the dirt as much.

To be clear I have only had this mat for a few weeks. Length is great for me at 6'2. It really has more length than a person should need but that is very helpful when you are new like me and your foot placement is not always 100% correct.It has excellent traction when dry. Unfortunately I sweat like a pig in hot yoga and once sweat starts pooling it turns into a slip-n-slide. However, I find that regular terry cloth bath towels provide enough additional grip once it gets wet, which is a huge improvement over my older slicker mat which really had to have a yogi-toes towel. Since yogi-toes type towels are very expensive and difficult to find in longer lengths, this mat makes a big improvement for me and is worth the money.Although it does not bother me personally, the dark blue does show every last bit of dust/footprints.

I purchased this mat because of the reputation that Jade has. Unfortunately, even the slightest amount of sweat makes the mat extremely slippery. It also takes a long time for the mat to dry out after rinsing it off. I guess it would be good for restorative or yin, or some other practice that doesn't require any physical effort. I'm really disappointed.

awesome mat, way better than my manduka pro. more comfort, more grip, a pleasure to use

I loved the stickiness of this mat & the size! But I needed something cushier, so it had to be returned. The company's Customer Service was great too!

Good sticky-ness but if you sweat like crazy (like me), it does get slippery when you sweat. So now I'm searching for the perfect yoga towel to put over it.. It never ends!

Very good matres. A bit too thin for my taste, but I guess they did it because of its size, and they didn't want it to be too heavy.The greep is great.
