The only Mat you need
This is the mat as far as I am concerned. I have used mine at least 5 times a week for the past year and it shows no wear at all. It is built to last for this lifetime and is backed up with a warranty to match. I am 6' 2" and have the long version and love the extra length.

This is the primo mat
I plan to have it for the rest of my life. I'm 5'6" and my Yoga poses fit on mat with room to spare and I can kneel in comfort. Yeah!

Stays put during vigorous practice
I just purchased one of these from my local REI this past weekend, and have since used it during a couple of sweaty, vigorous sessions (standard vinyasa and Ashtanga). This mat DOES NOT BUDGE - which was a bit of a problem for me with my previous mat when going through any kind of transition that required rotating my feet while on the mat, or even in adho mukha svanasana (the mat would stretch apart, lengthwise) - but not a problem any more!It slips a bit if it gets wet, but that's not surprising, and it's not excessive at all - very manageable (either keep a towel handy to wipe yourself down every

Slippery when sweat
Hey im an avid yoga guy who wanted a high quality mat. i live far from stores so i had to use the internet to guide me. This mat appears to be awesome, and it is, except it is extremely slippery when wet. i sweat like a spring in a rain storm, and after minute five of my yoga the mat becomes a liability and even dangerous to use. i have to have a towel on top of it now. some reviews said that the slipperiness would wear off after a while, but its been a year and a half and it is still slippery. im beginning to think that the slipperiness will never where off. it does have its benefits though. it is long, and that is a plus. im 6'1" and it is nice to have a long mat. it is super thick, and this is one reason why i bought it. im bony and it definitely does a good job cushioning me. the cushion comes at a price, as this mat is really heavy. overall im happy with the mat, i learned to live with the slipperiness. you might as well buy the yoga towel to cover it right now though, there goes another[$]makes me long for the old days of just borrowing a mat from the yoga studio.
