JadeYoga Travel 68"

The Jade Travel yoga mat is a thinner, lighter version of the brand's classic Harmony, designed to fold up for easy packing. At 1/8" thick and just over 3 pounds, it's compact enough for a suitcase or backpack, but still made from the same eco-friendly natural rubber that gives Jade mats their signature grip. A great pick for anyone who wants their practice to come along on the road.

Gaiam Classic Print 4mm

The Gaiam Classic Print is the archetypal sticky PVC mat, and at 4mm and 2.1 pounds it is the thinnest and lightest Gaiam we carry. The textured surface delivers the reliable dry grip PVC is known for, and the 68 by 24 inch cut is Gaiam's standard size, sold in a rotating set of printed colorways. It is latex-free, made without the six most restricted phthalates and covered by Gaiam's lifetime guarantee, though Gaiam itself warns that printed mats arrive with a strong odor and need two or three days of airing out.
