Second printing satisfactorily

UPDATE: Shortly after I wrote my review below, I received a call to the company POWRX. I was a bit surprised to find that which was my phone number known at all.
Anyway, the company offered to me to send a new mat and the old to send in again. I agreed, and indeed the smell is much less obtrusive than in my previous copy. In this respect, I increase my rating of 2 to 4 stars and recommend the mat for all amateur athletes, also because the company is committed to customer satisfaction.

Old review:
I use the mat for about half a year for my regular fitness exercises. There nothing to complain about, the mat performs its function. It is sufficiently large, thick, barely slips and bumps I've been also can not festellen.
But now for the downside: as I have received the mat, I noticed the same on the unbearable smell. I have the mat ever since standing on the balcony, but she still smells strongly of chemicals themselves. Were they standing in the apartment, guests may believe they have landed in a chemistry lab. Even the packaging box had the smell absorbed so strongly that he had to be disposed of immediately.
