When unpacking me first of artificial odor is noticed, which is not pleasant. Therefore, I have the mat when it was not being used, let the air out are on the loggia. The smell evaporates gradually. But as we want to be honest, the mat is not completely odorless. However, since the majority is gone, only a minimal "fragrance" remains, which no longer bothers me.
Before hitting the mat remains are perfect plan, each about 10 cm apart from the both ends. The remaining 10 cm lie down after a few minutes also plan on the ground. I think that's very good, because I have not experienced it at all mats so that had to be partially satisfied with weights.
With its 10 mm thick, I use it both on carpet as well as laminate flooring. The use extends to workouts, fitness exercises, pp. without shoes, but with socks. The durability of shoes I can therefore only surmise. The mat is non-slip, where did I put it. Also one slips on her not, but takes a firm hold. Its length is 180 cm for me, since I'm only 170 cm tall, right. The width of 58 cm is also sufficient. Important depends on the exercises the amount of exercise space.
The price for money paid, I have under 30 with rubber band, I find excellent. I would buy the mat, if I should need a second, even at full price. A pity, however, that the rubber band is not part of normal delivery. Thus remains a the included plastic film.
My conclusion: Very good quality at an affordable price.
