Yoga mats

Not only did I get a Manduka pro mat, but I got this one too. I was still looking for something really sticky, and once I felt the Jade in its wrapper, I was sold. I know, that is a ridiculous way to judge a mat’s grip or function, but knowing it was their top of the line, surveying yogis with this mat and their satisfaction, and the little gnome in my head telling me the grass is always greener…I used up a gift certificate and got a second mat.

While not as long as the Manduka, it has turned out to be a bit stickier. I still slip during really hot classes, as I tend to sweat quite heavily. I just always bring a hand towel with me. I like that there is a tree planted with the purchase of the mat. Compared to the “black mat”, it is indeed much lighter and rolls up quite small.

I would have given this a full five stars, but the strong rubber smell from its components is almost not worth taking it to yoga, so I am glad I have the Manduka. In fact, the odor is nauseating at times. I have washed the Jade with various soaps, but I guess the only remedy will be time-and fresh air making the odor dissipate (I hope!)

Overview

JADE HOLDS: As Jade is made with open cell, natural rubber, you can say goodbye to slipping on your practice mat – even if it gets wet with perspiration. Natural rubber has long been used where safety demands non-slip performance. Jade takes advantage of the non-slip properties of natural rubber- resulting in the best slip-resistance on the market. Try it – we’re sure you’ll agree. JADE PERFORMS: In addition to providing better slip-resistance, because it is made of natural rubber, Jade has exceptional resilience, unmatched “compression set” resistance and incomparable cushioning. These characteristics guarantee you the ideal mat for those looking for maximum comfort and performance. Jade can be hand washed with mild soap and warm water; hang or lay flat to dry (out of direct sunlight). JADE is GREEN: Jade is constructed of natural rubber, a renewable resource tapped from rubber trees – containing no PVC or ozone depleting substances. Perfect for the yogi concerned about the earth and is made in the USA in compliance with all U.S. environmental and labor laws and through its partnership with Trees for the Future, JadeYoga plants a tree for every mat sold.
