Manduka Yoga Commuter Mat Carrier - Eco-Friendly Cotton, Easy to Carry, Hands-Free, For All Mat Sizes, 68" x 1.5", Various Colors

Like other Manduka products, they make amazing high-quality products... with limited good instructions on how to best utilize it.If you use this commuter yoga strap like it shows in the product pictures, you'll be okay-ish. Your mat won't slip while you're carrying it and the added cushioning on the middle portion is nice on the shoulders. But if you're like me, you'll probably be annoyed that leaving the mat flat in its carrier in the car or for several days will slowly loosen and unfurl (very annoying).Well! There's actually a better way to use it that prevents this! After playing with the straps a bit, I realized you can double loop it to prevent this problem. If you look at the photo I uploaded, that's my mat in the car in its carrier (the one on the left is my extra yoga mat in a velco carrier). Notice how it's tight enough that the strap is biting into the mat itself. This is the ideal way to use this carrier.Now, how do you do this? Ok, so you might have to play with it a little to figure it out, but the first loop is for the buckle to bite onto itself, not for the mat to go through. If you feed the other end of the strap through that first loop, you create a second loop for the mat to go into. Tightening this causes the first loop to bite onto the strap holding it tight while you adjust the second loop down to secure your mat. Viola!You can play with how you feed the strap through to create this biting action, but it seems to work a lot better after I figured this out. Hope this helps!

After exploring all of my options to carry around my new mat, I decided on this and I haven’t regretted it once. The strap is comfortable to carry and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Very easy to put on and take off. I like the material and the design looks great.

This is the best mat I have ever bought (I am a yoga teacher I have tried all brands). It's been a while that I bought it and it's still like new. The mat is heavy , so get one of those straps to transport it.

It's great quality. It will be slick a bit but it needs to be used.

It barely fits over my extra thick yoga mat and the straps have to be very close together. I have a bad back so I need the thickness.I'll see if I can roll the mat tighter next time.

The strap is sturdy and doesn’t slip. It’s also the perfect length and texture to use for yoga mat transport and use during yoga class! I have multiple yoga straps (5or so) and this one is the best!

Works super, easily washed in a laundry bag, works wonderful - highly recommend it. This is easier and better than trying to get a yoga mat in a bag.

It says fits any size mat and it does but it forms a short handle on my extra thick mat so be warned. I would have preferred it to be over my shoulder rather than held like a bag. It's good quality but I don't really like it. Not git for my purpose.

I have three Manduka yoga mats and love every one of them. This strap is just an accessory to accompany the mats.

Makes the mat easy to carry

Simple, cheap and easy to use.

Good quality
