Title: I shopped around a lot
Product review: I sweat like crazy when practicing Vinyasa yoga. I purchased lots of mats (like 5) before I decided to break down and buy an "expensive" one. The I own the Jade Yoga Harmony mat in black. It shows dirt, but I don't care. It is thick enough to provide cushion (being natural rubber), but not so thick that it is hard to balance in standing poses.This mat is the least-slippery mat I've used. I do think there was a bit of a breaking in period with it, but after washing it by hand (with tea tree oil/witchhazel/water mixture) it's become just right. I've come to the conclusion that no mat, no matter how expensive will be 100% slip-free. To work around this occasional slipperyness (it's very minor)I use the mat in combination with a Manduka eQua hand sized towel. If you're slippery and sweaty like me, i recommend this mat, but also recommend using a hand sized yoga towel for the occasional times that you get really sweaty.Namaste!
