My mother got the mat for Christmas. She drew the envy of your teammates up. It is at least 50% lighter than normal mats. Not too thin and not too thick. Does not slip and does not expand (as I have often read with other mats). She has a good grip on the mat and also the material makes a durable and robust impression. Super I found the wide range of colors. Only stupid, I found that it takes so long until ausliegt the mat. She rolled over much longer inward not start but a little. Smell not do otherwise. It's worth spending the few Euros more for a decent product to have.
