Manduka Journey On Commuter Yoga Mat Carrier – Adjustable Cotton Strap, Yoga, Pilates, and Fitness Accessory, Gravity Sinch Closure - Suitable for all Yoga Mats

Simple, cheap and easy to use.

I really wanted to like it. The first practice was awful, I could barely stand without slipping. Okay, I thought, and did the salt ritual. The mat felt stickier and seemed to have a better grip. But halfway into my next practice (as I started sweating) it got so slippery I could barely hold a downward dog or even a warrior without being afraid to slip. I had never had such issues with my old, much cheaper mat. Perhaps if I did the salt thing again it would get better but I don’t understand why it has to be so difficult to start using a yoga mat. Especially for the price it costs. I shall be returning it.

This strap falls off your mat when you aren't holding it. It means that EVERY time you want to pick it up you have to put the strap back on and tighten it. It also means that the mat unravels when you put it down. Mirela Revay-Giran from customer care has told me that this is how it's designed but that information isn't clear in the description. I feel that I have been missold this product.
