What does 2/5 mean? Couldn't you just say that it is less than a half of an inch and therefor not really thick at all?

2/5" (0.4") is 10.16mm. Most mats are 1/4" which is 6mm. It is easier to compare mat thickness in millimeters than in fractions of an inch. So, this mat is a lot thicker and will give more cushion.

Do you know how long it takes to offgas? I just got mine and it's really smelly, thanks!

New yoga mats may have a bit of smell at first, but it is completely harmless! The smell will fade with time and use, however, cleaning the mat can quickly speed up this process. We recommend washing the mat with a yoga mat wash or a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water. Then let the mat air dry. It should take no longer than 2-3 days maximum. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at customerservice@gaiam.com and we would be happy to help provide further instruction or answer additional questions. Thank you!

Is it really for yoga? Does it have good grip on both sides?

I use it for yoga. Has a great grip on both sides and extra thick padding to reduce pressure in certain poses. Also great for enhancing balance as the thick foam forces you to focus on balance.

Great for Pilates

Needed a more comfortable, thicker mat for doing rehab Pilates. I have used this for 3 months now and couldn’t be happier with it. Highly recommend especially for Pilates/physio exercises.

Stretches during use.

Hated it. Used once and injured myself. The ridges run widthways and when I stood with my feet one in front of the other, the ridges moved apart from each other ie it stretched. It caused my to over stretch my stiff muscles and hurt myself.

Creo que es el mejor sino de los mejores tapetes para hacer ejercicio que hay.

El tapete es uno de los mejores del mercado para hacer ejercicio. Ya sea para hacer yoga, pilates, calistecnia, etc. este tapete es de lo más cómodo que puedes comprar. En lo personal me gustan los tapetes gruesos, acolchonados y este cumple perfectamente. Y con sus múltiples opciones de color, creo que está más que excelente para quien busque un tapete. Además, el producto llegó a tiempo, sin problemas ni daños.
