Slippery if you're a sweater like me
I picked this up as my "travel" mat because it folds up nice and small into a suitcase (I travel weekly for work and prefer to avoid the shared mats at the studios). If you don't sweat much, this mat might work alright for you, but it is far too slippery for me. I'm a sweater, and this mat is no good for holding my grip. I often have to use a towel on top of it to prevent slippage. My "standby" mat is a Jade and its far superior in both non-slip and cushioning. The Jade holds like glue no matter how slick I get. Both are thin mats, which I like, but the Manduka offers close to 0 cushioning. Wish I picked up another Jade for my travel choice...
