Grip Yoga Mat 72 x 26 Inch 5mm

Shipping could have been quicker: came something like 4 days after it said it would arrive. It arrived in good shape though.

When I unboxed this mat oh boy did it smell terrible. Like concentrated fish oil. However this is common with rubbery products new I think it’s called VOC’s or something like off gassing. I’ve read simple green will clear it up or just leaving it out in the sunlight for a day or two.

Personally I just rolled it out on my floor and left the windows on my apartment open for a few days and the smell is almost completely gone 99% better but I didn’t test cleaning with chemicals.

Mat looks like pictured and seems to be constructed well. I’d still recommend the purchase it is grippy and attractive if that matters for your area.

It’s a little thin for me but I don’t have much meat on the knees *38 year old 160 lb male* but this is a pretty standard thickness for yoga and many people are going to weigh less than me or have tougher knees.

I don’t regret the purchase and the extra width is nice.

Durability I can’t judge yet to early but I’m just gonna say 5.
