Customer Reviews
Great use!
I was a little apprehensive about getting this bag, because it looked like it could only fit a mat and maybe a wallet in the pocket. But I was amazed at how roomy it is! I can fit two blocks in the bag with my mat, along with clothes and a dvd. The pocket can hold quite a bit (I have mine stuffed with an ace bandage, athletic tape, a wallet, and deodorant) plus there's an extra pocket for a cell phone! It's very strong, well made, and after dragging myself through the pouring rain, I found that nothing in the bag was wet. Highly satisfied!
Good, but poor stitching
Okay...so some of the stitching is coming undone where the shoulder strap connects to the bottom base of the bag. I use a Manduka mat (which is wider than most) so that may be part of the problem. Nonetheless the strap is to short for the bag and causes undue stress, hence the seam is ripping. Otherwise the bag is fine. It is the only bag I could find that would fit the larger Manduka mat.
Great casual yoga mat bag
I was looking for a different kind of yoga mat bag but changed my mind immediately when I saw this soft and roomy bag for sale on Gaiam's website. It has one exterior pocket, roomy enough for keys, wallet, and cell phone (an expandable pouch attached to said pocket for cell phone, but I wouldn't put it there because it may fall out while you've got it slung on your shoulder). The pocket is secured with two actual buttons that are hidden by an extra flap of cloth. It's very well made and sturdy.
As for the actual bag's capacity, I could probably fit two yoga mat bags in there without it being too snug. Instead, I put in my yoga pants, sports bra, and slip on flats and it doubles as my entire gym bag. I got mine in army green instead of khaki because I felt it would hide any stains better. It really gets the job done.
Oh yeah, and it's on sale for $9.99 at their website. There is a promo code floating around the internet for $10 off any $15 purchase, including sale purchase. Which means I got this, a $7 Pilates CD and rubber stretching set all for around $12 incl shipping.
