Overview
A rubber yoga mat from Manduka's EKO line, model EKO-SL-71 in Leaf Green, weighing 2 pounds. Manduka's EKO series is made from natural tree rubber rather than PVC or foam.
The SL and 71 in the model name point to a slimmer, standard-length build within Manduka's EKO range, a step below the brand's heavier PROlite and PRO mats. Natural rubber mats like this one are prized for grip that improves as they warm up, though new buyers should know rubber mats commonly carry an odor out of the box that fades with airing and use.
- Natural rubber construction
- 2 pound item weight
- Leaf Green colorway
- Manduka EKO series, model EKO-SL-71
Who it's for
Yoga practitioners who prioritize natural materials and grip over the cushioning of a thicker foam mat, and Manduka fans who already know the EKO line's feel from other lengths or colors.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Natural rubber grip improves with use and warmth
- Lighter weight than most rubber mats, easier to carry
- New rubber mats often carry an odor
- Thinner profile offers less cushioning than foam alternatives
Performance notes
Natural rubber's grip tends to strengthen as the mat warms from body heat and light sweat, which is why rubber mats are popular for sweatier practices like vinyasa or hot yoga. At 2 pounds, this build sits on the lighter end for a rubber mat, trading some cushioning thickness for easier transport.
