This yoga sling is easy-to-use and lightweight but will not fit extra-large mats. The strap is unpadded and a little uncomfortable to carry for an extended period.

This sling holds my Manduka eKO 71-Inch 5mm Yoga Mat comfortably, with a little space to spare. I think it would hold the 71" Manduka BlackMatPro (which is about 1.25mm thicker), but an extra-long would not fit.

The strap design makes the sling easy to carry horizontally. Slung vertically over my shoulder, it angles a bit under my arm (doesn't sit flat against my back). The unpadded strap is a little uncomfortable on my shoulder with the heavy Manduka mat, and would probably chafe during a longer walk.

It's hard to argue with the this sling's low price. For short car-to-studio walks, recommended.

Solid basic harness.

Fits my Gaiam extra thick 5mm yoga mat perfectly, with room to spare. I'd imagine if you have a slightly thicker mat it'd fit that too.

Straps around mat are adjustable, shoulder strap is not, but it fits comfortably over your shoulder so you can walk/bike with it.

It does what it should and seems like it's well made.

You get what you pay for with this item. Decent quality and the colors a nice. I wish the belt snaps were farther/wider apart, that way when you carry your yoga mat, it doesn't seem lopsided. But that's not a big deal.

I have just verified that my Manduka BlackMatPro fits in the sling! I now own two of these mat slings and love them both! I use both the Manduka BlackMatPro and the Manduaka Prolite mats, this is a nice way to transport a heavier mat as I don't care for the traditional mat bag. This particular sling features buckles on the straps, which I much prefer to the velcro that Gaiam uses on their slings.

I purchased a 3/8" yoga mat on amazon and this sling is too short to wrap around it. It is adjustable, but it will not fit a 3/8" mat.

I really wanted a sling for my yoga mat, and this was exactly what I was looking for. It's basic and works well. So far no complaints.

For short trips from car to studio, this yoga sling works fine. I was specifically looking for a sling with buckles, rather than Velcro, and the buckles on this sling are easy to use and appear to be sturdy. The colorful webbing design was a plus, and the sling fits my Manduka Pro mat (71" x 26" x 1/4") without any trouble. Strap length is adequate and at least for me, can be carried over one shoulder or crossbody. It can also be carried by hand with the shorter connecting strap. Unfortunately, the shoulder strap (~35" long) and connecting strap (~10" long) are not adjustable, so depending on your build, the strap length may not be ideal for you and may not allow you to carry it crossbody style. Also, with a heavy mat (7 lb) like the Manduka, this narrow, unpadded webbing quickly gets uncomfortable on my shoulder - I wouldn't want to use this sling to walk to the studio or on a bike. With a lighter mat, and/or a heavier build (your shoulders, not the sling!), it might be ok. The sling could benefit from some padding on the shoulder strap, which I may add, even for short trips.

I have a manduka mat and it holds it perfectly! It also doesn't leave any ugly cut marks in my mat; it keeps it in great condition. Like many other strap holders like this, you have to be sensitive to wear you place the harness, so the mat is balanced while you carry it. It's not difficult though to figure that out... Even though my mat is heavier than most other yoga mats, this does not make the strap cut into my shoulder.

Fits well with my Manduka black pro. No complaints so far. The belt is wide enough to feel comfortable, and it stays on my shoulder, not too slippery at all.

I was worried when I first purchased this harness sling that it may not fit around my mat, but I'm happy to say that it does! I have an extra long mat and it is 1/4-inch thickness. It's a great deal. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that the actual part that goes around your body is not adjustable in length.
