Manduka Black Mat PRO Yoga Mat

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.
