# Travel-Ready Yoga Mats The 'YOGO' Portable Yoga Mat Features a Built-In Carrying Strap By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-08-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-yoga-mat References: [yogo.net](https://yogo.net/collections/gear/products/yogo-ultralight-2-0?variant=13305630468) Portable yoga mat designs are often sold separately from carrying bags or straps, which can come at a high cost, but the YOGO Mat Ultralight 2.0 was designed to be an affordable all-in-one solution for yogis. The YOGO Mat's attached straps function as handles that can be used for transporting the device, or hanging it to dry when it is time for a cleaning. The lightweight mat itself is made from a durable natural rubber and weighs just over two pounds, which makes it ideal for on-the-go use, especially in comparison to some other natural rubber yoga mats on the market. With every YOGO Mat Ultralight 2.0 purchased, YOGO plants a food tree for families in Africa or Latin America. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Yoga Mats:** Opportunity for yoga mat manufacturers to create designs that are lightweight and easy to carry. - **All-in-one Solutions:** Opportunity to develop yoga mats that come with built-in straps or carrying bags, providing convenience for users. - **Eco-friendly Yoga Mats:** Opportunity to produce yoga mats from sustainable materials, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fitness Equipment Manufacturing:** Companies in the fitness equipment manufacturing industry can explore the creation of portable yoga mats with innovative features. - **Outdoor Retail:** Opportunity for outdoor retail stores to offer portable yoga mats that cater to customers' on-the-go lifestyle. - **Sustainable Product Manufacturing:** Sustainable product manufacturers can tap into the market demand for eco-friendly yoga mats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Yoga-Friendly Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/built-for-athletes-tote-bag.md) - [All-in-One Ultralight Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultralight-mat.md) - [Galaxy-Themed Vegan Yoga Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-yoga-mat.md) - [Foldable Fitness Mat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sculpt-society-x-stakt-mat.md) - [Precise Alignment Yoga Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omalas-align-pro-yoga-mat.md) - [Heat-Reactive Yoga Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurora-colorchanging-yoga-mat.md) - [Absorbent Colorful Yoga Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-yoga-towel.md) - [Eco-Friendly Yoga Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-b-mat.md) - [Balance Board Yoga Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powers-yoga-yogaboard.md)
