Manduka has produced the Travel Mat series so that you can do yoga on your own yoga mat while traveling. You can take your yoga mat wherever you go with the travel series, which is lighter, thinner, yet comfortable and durable.
Travel mats are included in the brand's world-famous PRO series and the environmentally friendly eKO series made of natural rubber. Designed with travel comfort in mind, the mats are produced thinner and lighter than the original mats of the series.
Features of Travel Mat Collection
Superlite Travel, added to the eKO series, weighs only 1 kg and can be carried easily. 1.5mm thickness allows it to be folded easily. You can practically place your folding yoga mat in your suitcase. It takes up little space and does not increase your suitcase weight. Its thin structure does not affect the grip feature, you can use it comfortably on all surfaces.
PRO Travel, which is the half-lightened version of the Manduka PRO yoga mat, which is the most preferred by all yogis in the world, weighs 1.09 kg. It can be folded easily thanks to its 2.5mm thickness. It is thinner than the standard PRO mat but the same density. Therefore, PRO Travel maintains its cushioning feature. The grip feature of the PRO series increases with use. Therefore, the more you use your mat, the more you get used to it. Over time, your mat becomes more compatible with your body and becomes an indispensable sports equipment.
The specially textured surfaces of both travel mats provide superior grip during yoga practices. They are resistant to stretching and tearing.
If you are someone who sweats a lot or if you frequently engage in Hot Yoga style sessions, it is recommended that you use the mats in the Travel series with a yoga towel. Yoga towels are very practical aids. No matter how much you sweat during your yoga session, it absorbs the liquid and prevents it from passing to the surface of your mat. In this way, it prevents your hands and feet from slipping. Your performance continues uninterrupted. You can easily transition into all poses on the mat.
Maintenance Recommendations
Manduka produces special cleaning solutions for the care of its mats. It is recommended that you use these first. If you do not have a Manduka yoga mat solution on hand, it is recommended that you only clean your mat in accordance with the care instructions. Maintenance of PRO Travel is a little more effortless than eKO Travel.
Cleaning eKO series mats made of natural rubber with rubber-compatible care products is important to increase the performance and life of the product. While the PRO series offers a lifetime warranty, eKO series mats will wear and tear over time due to their naturalness. Therefore, it is important to perform routine maintenance more frequently and gently.
Sustainability
Manduka is one of the brands that has well adopted the concept of sustainability. Energy efficiency is at the forefront in all of its production facilities and it produces its products in harmony with nature and human health. PRO Travel series is made of high quality PVC and has OEKO-TEX certification. OEKO-TEX is an environmentally friendly certificate given to products that do not contain components harmful to human health and the environment. Since the PRO series also offers a lifetime warranty, it takes a long time to return to nature as waste and is therefore sustainable.
The eKO series, on the other hand, is produced from rubber sustainably harvested from trees growing outside the Amazon. No toxic chemicals used in the processing of other rubber mats are used during production. No chemical treatment is applied to soften the rubber. eKO series mats provide high performance and are environmentally friendly.
