This is a very nice yoga mat. However, if your palms ever sweat when doing yoga, I wouldn't recommend this product.
I just found the perfect yoga bag for this mat, it actually fits and easily! If you know anything about Manduka mats you know this is the best.
The Manduka Yoga Mat is the Mercedes Benz of yoga mats. I was leery of spending this much on a yoga mat but the first time I used it I realized all yoga mats are not created equal.
It's very durable. Still using the same mat after all these years and love it! It's very thick, comfortable and is extremely secure. Does not slip or slide a bit. The mat was cushioned without being soft (no need for a blanket underneath your knees), firm without being hard, and heavy, so that the mat lay flat the whole time. I genuinely can't wait to be able to buy the mat myself in a year or two!
Both are in exceptional condition and he has used them multiple times every day. Another student in class also has one and really loves his. I do asthanga yoga, so the mat takes a beating because my yoga practice is a bit unsightly. This is a very good mat. Though the cost makes one pause before hitting the order button it simply blows you away once you start using it. Those who do ashtanga will enjoy the stability of the mat.
It's not worth the frustration, time, or energy! And if you do, get ready to slip all over the place!
Probably not the best choice for a mat you tote around unless you want to get in some extra strength training. This one is the kind you buy, find a place for, and leave it there. However, use on a carpet can still cause bunching and movement, but there really isn't much that can be done about it for any mat. I'm impressed with this mat and recommend it to anyone who does tougher versions of Yoga or lots of jumping. However, I use it on carpet so it may stay put if used on bare floor. This is my 2nd Manduka black pro mat. I have not had any concerns with slipping. It is quite sturdy.

I currently only use this mat at home, so I can't give much feedback for portability, but it is somewhat heavy so it might not travel well. oval tufted ottoman.
