Customer Reviews manduka eKO SuperLite Yoga Mat

I purchased this mat to take to Wanderlust 108, so I didn't have to carry my ProLite while traveling. It is so lightweight and easy to carry, I was so happy to have it. It is very sticky so I had excellent grip through all the poses. It does have a slight smell upon opening, but I hung the mat to air out for several days and it's going away. Looking forward to future travel yoga adventures with my eKO SuperLite!!

I work for the airlines so fitting my daily life into the confines of a suitcase is no easy feat. I have two of the ekoLite mats (colors are mustard and eggplant) and since coming across these foldable mats I've been consistently happy with their quality and non slip grip. It's so great to have one on hand so I can lay it out wherever in the world I may be and connect back with myself and my practice. At home I definitely have my thicker mats but couldn't be more happy with the non invasive travel ability these mats provide. Manduka mats are at the top for me.

I bought this mat a month and a half ago to take with me when I'm traveling (my PROlite is too heavy to take on trips). So far, it's been exactly what I was looking for - it's got a great amount of stick and it folds up small enough to fit in the front pocket of my carry-on. My hands tend to get pretty sweaty, so I do use my Manduka hand towel with it, which adds a bit of padding for my wrists.

I bought this a month ago for a trip to Europe where I had limited space in my luggage and am so happy I did! It's compact, foldable, durable comfertable and I love the colors.

This is a great mat that I bring with me in all my business travels. Whether a quick morning practice in the hotel room or a park, it's light and easy to fit in my carry-on!

Love this mat! It is very sticky and easy to pack, It is regularly stuffed in my bicycle panniers for quick in town commutes, shoved in a carry-on to Florida, and nicely folded in a checked bag to Ireland & England. Now its on it way to Barcelona...

This mat is perfect to supply a thin non-slip, sanitary surface for your practice. The quality of my hotel, outdoor & "on-the-go" practice has really increased because of it.

At first, i decided to buy this mat because it's perfect for travels. But I love it also for my daily practice. My feet do not slip and the mat almost don't move during practice. Love it!

I can throw this mat in my backpack and ride my bike to the gym. It has no padding, but it is a sticky mat and perfect to toss in your suitcase for trips.

Oh man, finally. A yoga mat that doesn't skid. I have the lightweight version, but have used the heavier one at yoga studios. Both are excellent.

Very happy I bought this durable and easy travel mat

Light, sticky, easy.

It is, as written, super thin and doesn't make me feel like I am sitting on a map. Definitely not comfortable, not what I was looking for exactly in a mat, I wanted something light but still would make me feel comfortable during poses. With this it is the same thing as sitting on the ground. But the grip and the mat itself is of good quality.

It's beautiful, durable and light! Great for travelling!

It's really thin and portable.

Amazing

I love eKo Superlite Travel Mat. I am using it as a skin on top of Pilates 10mm mat to prevent slipping also when using preps like Balanced Body Spine Corrector, it will not budge at all. The grip will hold it in place. Great travel mat to bring it with you and place it on top of a studio mat for hygiene. Mat itself is way to thin to practice Pilates. The non slip grip is much better on eKo than on Pro travel mat.

I bought this to travel with me. It is thin so in some cases you may need a blanket to place under your knees. This mat gives you the ease of folding it and packing it in your carryon without taking up too much valuable space. It gives you a great gripable surface for you yoga practice.

Just bought this mat as I do a lot of traveling for my job & didn't want to lug my black mat pro through an airport or have it take up all my luggage space. So far, the superlite has proven to be a great purchase! It folded up small enough I was able to easily fit it in my carry-on purse. It has surprisingly great grip, I've experienced no slipping whatsoever. Would definitely buy if your shopping for a leightweight mat to take on travel!

I bought 10 of these mats for teaching classes. I love that they are easy for me to transport when teaching classes due to their light weight and thin roll. The color is beautiful, the smell is not strongly toxic, and the grip is fantastic!! I love the eco friendly composition. The only complaint I have is that the mat can get bunched up easily when you drag your foot/leg/bolster across it, but that is because it is very light.

I've only used it a couple of times, the weight is awesome, easy to take everywhere. But once you sweating the hands slide very easily...

It's a travel mat, exactly what I'd expect. Be sure to break it in and store it carefully. Folding it too much (especially in the heat) will create creases that take time to smooth out. This mat is very thin and I enjoy using it more on soft surfaces rather than concrete. I'm happy with my purchase, it's exactly what I needed.

I bought this mat to bring with me to a yoga conference. It was easy to pack and light enough to not add much weight to my suitcase. I knew we'd be practicing in a carpeted ballroom at the resort, so I wasn't concerned about thickness or density. While it shifted a little underfoot when I changed directions or jumped back/forward during vinyasas, I found it surprisingly grippy! It's got more stickiness than my thicker mats, for sure. I'd recommend it for the traveling yogi. (Only caveat: depending on the type of yoga you practice, it may be too thin for certain asanas to be done comfortably on hardwood floors.)

I bought this last January for the sole purpose of having a portable mat, and it fulfilled that expectation because it's very light, it doesn't feel like I'm carrying a mat. What I didn't expect though, is that it becomes very slippery when you're sweating all over. Grip is good only during light perspiration, when sweat won't even drip onto the mat. I live in a tropical country so yoga sessions (even the beginners classes) becomes very hot, humid. I have no issues with the rubbery smell, in fact I love it.
