The Stakt Mat Pro

I placed an order for the weights and pro mat bundle, the weights pleasantly surprised me, while the pro mat underwhelmed me. Since the “upgrade” to the pro model had a selling point mentioning a textured “grip”’, I expected a bit more than a light honeycomb print. I didn’t notice superior grip outside of my usual yoga mat, and would have been fine with their standard mat. Noting that the padding and foldable structure are huge features that I appreciate and reigns supreme over other exercise mats! The price point is a bit high, but I do think the standard model is worth it.

I am obsessed with the mat already - it is so much easier to carry and store than any other yoga mat I've had before and it also feels lighter but I'm not sure if it's actually lighter or just feels that way because of how easy it is to carry. I also really like how soft and supportive it feels at the same time. AND it's so much easier to wipe than my other mats which is such a relief, too, especially when I used it on the beach. I also got the weights and while I have only used them once I like them so far - it feels easier to grip than I originally thought so that's good. I wish their products were cheaper cause then I'd gift them to every single one of my friends because they seem like a MUST for any girlie who needs a solid mat.

I really like the versatility of this mat. It is an excellent size both folded and fully open, and provides a good amount of padding for just about any kind of mat-based exercise. The mat stays nice and flat compared to our pro mats from Manduka, which always have a tiny bit of memory when you first unroll them. The surface has a nice texture and feels non-slip when barefoot. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight this material is. It is much lighter to transport at not even 1/2 the weight of our pro mat from Manduka, but it offers significantly more cushion, as it is twice the thickness of the Manduka mat. It is great to also be able to use this as a substantial exercise step for offset exercises or exercises that require a step. If you are in the market for a premium and versatile exercise mat, I strongly recommend considering the stakt pro mat for your purchase.
