Hit or miss with the colors of the mat, seller stands behind the product
I am writing an updated review because the seller corrected the situation it had created immediately . I decided to purchase this mat because in the ad and the photos uploaded with the reviews that show the mat coming off of a black box, it looked beautiful. I wanted the pink/purple mat shown in the ad and displayed in the review photos. However the first mat that I received was a light blue mat with some purple/pinkish dye scattered towards and on the bottom portion of the mat. I can clearly see that these mat are produced in one base color and then the purple/pink dye is applied on top of it. The white flower motifs in the ‘pink/purple’ portion of the mat are not pure white. They are white ‘stained’ with some pink dye on top like dye that bled in a washing cycle. I can live with that. However I did immediately process a return for the first mat because the dying job was really mediocre and I had not paid for a light blue mat. While I was processing the return the seller offered a replacement. Which was processed in 2 days. I just receive the second mat. There is no pink like in the photos uploaded by other reviewers but the base of the mat is definitely light purple and some pink is applied on top of it which creates a nice effect. Still not the mat that I fell in love with, closer to the photo in the ad, I can live with the one I received. The bottom has really good grip it will not slide. The top is microfiber/suede therefore you have to decide if that works for you. It is relatively heavy but it folds easily and comes with a bag. Worth the $30. Just be aware that it seems like pink dye is applied on top of purple or light blue mats and so each mat is different from the other. If you value uniqueness you will definitely get it with this mats. I thank the seller for making it right.

Heavy, but high quality
This mat was much heavier than I expected, but that’s because the materials are excellent. It does pack down pretty small, but if you’re worried about weight when traveling, this may not be ideal for you. I also worried that the creases in the mat from being folded would be an issue when using it, but they aren’t at all. The rubber on the bottom keeps it in place very well in spite of the visible creases. I did find that I had enough cushioning when on all fours, but not when just on my knees; then I had to triple fold it under me to be comfortable. Otherwise a great mat and very pretty. I killed a mosquito on it and was worried I had left a bloody stain, but it easily wiped clean.

Know exactly what you want!
Ok, I have never written a review before, but I think this time it is necessary because I think people need to know exactly what they buy to make a well-informed decision.When selecting this yoga mat I was looking for 3 main aspects: (1) very light and small for travelling, (2) high quality, (3) still within an affordable price range. I surfed a lot, read a lot of reviews and finally settled on the SNAKUGA mat even though I had to order it from the US with additional costs for posting. I was ordering 2 mats in the same time so the postage costs became ok. I also settled for this mat because it had very good reviews. A number of other mats had reviews highlighting their chemical smell (especially those with a plastic top layer). Having a “Wildleder” (suede) top layer should not lead to a chemical smell.I have now just received the mats. So my review cannot yet address it’s use during a yoga session. But I might make an update at some later stage. For the present here is my first assesment: (BTW, the aspects I describe are exactly the same for the two mats I ordered, so I don’t think they can be referred to as a “one off”).(A) First of all, the mat is very well made and its design is beautiful. It is definately not as on the pictures, as the design is neither as sharp, nor is the colour of the mat as uniform. But for me this adds a special touch as the colours (blue to mauve) change slightly from one end to the other. The graphic also looks slightly washed-out in its design, which makes it look smoother, not so harsh.(B) The quality of materials appears to be first class: A very high quality rubber and a very high quality top layer. BUT: The quality of the rubber makes the mat heavier than expected and also as advertised: In fact the mat weighs 1.185kg (2.612 US pound) which comes to 1.270kg (2.800 US pounds) including the rubber band and the pouch. This is definately NOT the 0.9 kg advertised! ALSO: I do not believe that the cover is “Wildleder” (suede). On the packaging the descriptions says Microfibre, which is definately not suede or “Wildleder”.(C) The size of the mat is advertised as 183 x 66 and 1.5mm thickness. This is also incorrect: the mat is 181 x 66 and 1.1mm thick. When rolling it, it comes to 70mm diameter x 330mm length or folded 25mm x 330mm x 230mm. The overall difference in dimensions doesn’t make a BIG difference, but it puts it into perspective when comparing it with other travel mats. I especially thought that we could re-cut the mat for my partner who is quite small so we could save extra weight. Not really.So what is my overall opinion:+ > Very good quality of manufacture and materials, including rubber band. Pouch? Mmh, let’s see how long it lasts. But heavy material+ > Really nice feel, nice colours, no smell at all+ > Drops and holds on the floor as it it were made to stay and no longer move+ > Good size when deployed, relatively small when packed+/- > Very thin. But this is indicated and 1.1 or 1.5mm doesn’t make a difference: Know what you want and don’t complain if the mat is as thin as advertised.- > Definately not as light as advertised, i.e. if you travel with this you will have about 1.3kg (2.8 US pounds) more in your luggage.- > Not the dimensions as advertised (i.e. not 1830mm long)- > I do not believe that the top layer is “Wildleder” (suede) as advertised. It is indicated on the cover that it’s microfibre. I could do the “flame test”, but I don’t want to ruin my new mat.So, overall, I am happy and unhappy. The mat is really nice and I like its quality build. But when travelling long-distance with a backpack in a way that one looks at every gram, this mat is still too heavy for my liking. AND, at 1.270g there are a lot of other mats around, also cheaper ones. The 900grams was one of the main factors for me to buy it. Now, I decided that I will not send it back, but that I will use it at home and in the studio. Not for travelling.

Es de base de caucho lo cual da buena adherencia en el piso y la parte de arriba es tipo gamuza la cual te ayuda si te sudan las manitas. Es delgado pero eso facilita muchísimo cuando tienes que llevarlo de un lado a otro. La verdad me encanta y vale lo que cuesta.

It was thin than I expected. But it is good quality.

El tapete para yoga no es lo que esperaba, se supone que es para viaje y está muy delgado pero pesa mucho y el material no es de buena calidad
