Rating:  - Too soon to tell
I've searched for the perfect mat for a while now. It didn't have to be cute or pink I just wanted a mat that lasted longer than 6 months. The mats I was buying would begin to flake and by the end of class would end on my skin. Embarassing!!! It doesn't make any sense for me to buy enviromentally friendly mats anymore because I now have 6 unusable mats in my garage.
A little research brought me to the Manduka Black mat. I have high expectations for this mat. I don't have any complaints really. I think I need to break it in a little more. Too soon to tell whether or not I'll shred this one too. Only time will tell....

This is one of the best yoga mats on the market. It is well constructed and will last for years. It is not your typical wimpy yoga mat so be prepared for the weight of it. One important thing to note is: if you have sweaty hands you may have some slippage problems. I solved this by using a towel for my hands.
Rating:  - wonderful mat
This is a great mat. The thickness provides much more comfort for some yoga positions. You get a good firm grip without sticking to the mat and dragging it with you when you change positions. Worth every penny!
Rating: - worth the money
I was hesitant to spend this much money for a yoga mat, but it is really worth it. It has made a difference in my practice.
Rating: - Great yoga mat!
I've practiced yoga for only a little over a year, five mornings a week. Until purchasing the Manduka, I was using one of those thin, inexpensive yoga mats. I first became aware of these Manduka mats through my yoga instructor. I finally decided to purchase one once our classes were held outdoors, on a cement surface. This new mat is truly a great product. It's much thicker and provides cushion and support. Although there were cleaning instructions provided to get rid of the initial rubber smell, I admit that I did nothing. Just with use, the smell quickly wore off. I highly recommend this mat to anyone practicing yoga regularly. The difference is remarkable. My hands don't slip and the mat doesn't move at all. Although pricey, it's well worth the investment if you have more than a passing interest in yoga.
