Overview
The Manduka PL71-THUNDER is a PVC exercise mat weighing 4.6 pounds in the Thunder colorway. Manduka has a long history in the yoga and studio mat space, and this listing reflects that heavier, closed-cell PVC construction rather than a lightweight foam build.
At 4.6 pounds, this mat carries more heft than typical travel foam mats, which trades portability for a denser, more planted feel underfoot. PVC is also a material some buyers actively avoid for environmental or sensitivity reasons, so it's worth flagging alongside the mat's strengths.
- Material: PVC
- Weight: 4.6 lbs
- Color: Thunder
Who it's for
Home studio users who want a substantial mat that stays put during floor work. Less suited to anyone prioritizing a light, rollable mat for travel or a non-vinyl material.
Pros and cons
- Sturdy 4.6 lb PVC build resists sliding
- Distinct Thunder colorway
- PVC won't suit buyers avoiding vinyl
- Heavier than foam mats built for travel
Performance notes
Closed-cell PVC construction generally grips the floor well and resists moisture absorption, which helps the mat hold its surface over repeated sessions. The 4.6 pound weight is part of what keeps it anchored during use, though that same weight adds bulk when rolling it up to transport.
