This mat features a 1/2 inch thick NBR padding which is super fantastic because my knees and elbows never have to feel the hard floor again! In the past I've had the thinner 1/4" but certain poses hurt because a lot of weight needed to be on my knee or elbow and the padding just wasn't enough. But this yoga mat here, no need to worry about this any more. Once I unrolled it for the first time I was happily surprised about how long it was. I don't have to worry about running out of room during my stretching and now on some poses I can share the mat with my wife. But the holidays are around the corner and I'll probably end up getting her one too as she keeps stealing mine.
Now about the strap. Its essential for painless travel with my yoga mat. once rolled up the strap loops over to hold it in place and provides a carrying handle. But its much much more. Loop it at the end for THE best stretching tool ever. I loop it around my feet for hamstring and lower back stretches. Its great for warming up the shoulders, it helps me stretch in all 360 degrees.
Equaliteria made this mat super easy to clean. A damp rag will do the trick, maybe once a week add a little soap for a full cleaning. The surface is non slip allowing me to keep my focus. I can't imagine my fitness routine without it!!
