We’ve spent more than 20 years sweating every detail of the PRO Series mats to ensure top performance. Our ultra-dense cushioning helps protect your joints and provides extra comfort. A favorite amongst yogis, Pilates aficionados, and fitness gurus. Closed-cell technology blocks dirt and moisture from sweat. We recommend pairing with one of our performance towels to increase grip in sweaty sessions. The legendary Black Mat PRO (formerly known as the Black Mat) is celebrating 12 years as one of the world's finest yoga mat. There's a reason the Black Mat PRO inspires such passion in its users; with its denser, thicker form, unparalleled comfort and cushioning, superior non-slip fabric-like finish, and simple, elegant design, the Black Mat PRO will revolutionize your practice. And best of all, it now comes with a Lifetime Guarantee. The Manduka Black Mat PRO is chosen first by yoga teachers throughout the world, and by yogis of every experience level who value not only their individual practice but also their surrounding world. The proprietary dot-pattern bottom on the bottom of the BlackMatPRO resists sliding and is engineered for long-lasting use with high quality materials that won't peel, flake, or fade. The fabric-like surface finish offers superior slip-resistance, even with light perspiration. This longevity and Manduka's Lifetime Guarantee reduces consumption and landfill waste by guarding against wear and tear. Features & Specifications: * Zero-waste in manufacturing; Oeko-Tex certified, emissions-free manufacturing * Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee * Superior wear and longevity * Comfortably cushions spine, hips, knees, and elbows on hard floors * Slip resistant, yet non-sticky, even when wet from light perspiration * Provides stability on hard or soft surfaces * Weight: 8 pounds * Dimensions: 26 by 85 by 1/4 inches (W x L x D) To Clean: We recommend using Manduka Mat Renew or any non-solvent household cleaner and a damp cloth or sponge. Hang to dry in the sunshine. Do not put your mat in the washing machine- it may break the machine and ruin your mat. To Store: Roll your Black Mat PRO with the top side (fabric-finish) facing outwards. This keeps the corners of the mat flat when practicing. To Break In: The surface texture of the Black Mat PRO improves with use. Our customers have found that the best way to break in their mat is to use it on a daily basis. Another trick is to sprinkle coarse sea salt over your mat, scrub it down with a sponge, and air dry in the sunshine.
