I was very disappointed with this bag. It seemed like it would be a good investment, in particular from this company. Wrestling with the bag after a good yoga session could have undone all the peace and comfort I had just gained. I abandoned it immediately and would not even offer to give it away to a friend who is embarking on a yoga experience. The return policy will keep me from buying this type of product through Amazon. 1 star

I like the idea of this bag - but it is too small for my yoga mat. I think this bag is designed to fit only Gaiam yoga mats, so beware if your mat has more padding than a typical mat. Color in person is lighter than in the picture, more of a light khaki. 3 stars

This bag is well made and stylish enough, however, it was too small for my 1/4" mat. I tried and tried to make it fit, and though I was able to finally get my mat in the bag, the bag would not zip. The color of the bag in the picture is a little misleading, as well. I'd read other reviews that noted this, but thought "Oh, it'll be fine". The color is not really tan, or khaki, as it appears in the picture... it's more of a peach. It looks like the flesh colored crayon in a box of Crayola's. Not an ugly color, just not how it appears online. I could have dealt with it if my mat had fit.
Needless to say, I returned the bag.
I will say again, though, if your bag is not as thick as mine, this bag is very nice for the price. Put together well, helps the environment by being made out of recycled materials, has a nice strap and is stylish enough. 3 stars

very nice; would be nice if was a little larger to hold a thicker mat without so much effort getting into the bag. 4 stars
