While there have been many travel-friendly yoga mats introduced over the years, the Banale Mat is truly a standout as a super compact yoga mat that shrinks down to the same size as a 64-ounce water bottle—as such, once rolled up, the mat can easily be attached to a bike, strapped on the back or latched onto a bag.
The first-of-its-kind all-natural yoga mat does away with a big, bulky design and instead favors a sleek form that also includes smart details like a sleek, waterproof shell. Due to this feature, the natural rubber travel yoga mat does not need a bag, as it protects itself.
In terms of the mat itself, the material is resistant to water and scratches with a closed cell design that offers a great amount of grip.
