Customer Reviews: thin material, too small for manduka eco April 1, 2010 C. Barnes (birmingham,al) Photo and description of this bag lead me to believe it was similiar to another, heavy cotton mat bag my wife has and loves. However, this bag is made of very, very thin material. To me, it doesn't even feel like cotton...it feels synthetic. In addition, it was too small to fit my Manduka eco 5mm mat. It MIGHT have fit if I'd rolled the mat ultra tight and spent 10 minutes squeezing it in, but I don't really want to store my mat so tightly that it curls every time I take it out(and that's IF if fits). Overall disappointed with my purchase so I returned the bag. This bag might work for someone with a smaller mat looking for a good price. 2 stars only for price.

I was sorry to read the other review saying this bag is flimsy. I don't doubt the customer's experience, but want to note that I've washed this bag many times over the 3-4 years that I've owned it and had no problems at all. It still looks as good as when I bought it. I love the neutral color (more khaki than olive) and the roominess. I can roll up my yoga mat with a towel and it still slides in easily. The pocket is great for keys and even a hand towel. The pocket does not zip, which would be nice, but that would be my only complaint.
There are better deals out there December 9, 2009 Ohmshanti (San Diego) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Fraying alot. Very flimsy. But fits my mat and towel and has an ok look.
... after using this bag more, (i wear it when riding my bike 20minutes to class), i realize its extremely uncomfortable. the strap isnt strong, the material is thin so it curls up into a string that digs into my shoulder. the buckle doesnt fit tight so forget about adjusting the strap length, it just slides down within minutes. not a good purchase.
