Use the mat in two ways, once. As a base for my sleeping bag when they go camping at festivals, because it's great It is a large area and thicker than normal mats, making it simply comfortable. During training this thickness is just as comfortable on the one hand, but also to put a press sites which remain then pressed. But this is (so far) only an optical defect. In addition, the top is not very durable, so that the zipper of the training pants on the legs can already tear small cuts into the surface. This is of course a pity. All in all, however, as described above, as far as OK.
