5 comments about Therm-a-Rest ProLite 3 Stuff Sack.

1. The bag was smaller than expected. I thought I was ordering the larger bag, but the picture was deceiving.



2. This is an excellent packable water resistant bag, but as another reviewer points out, the size is deceptive - given the photographs. Also, it may look like you are buying a set of 3 - given the photo - but you are not. This is a small sack that is perfect for packing the Therm-a-Rest mattress, or other odds and ends.
   
   So buy it with both eyes open



3. This is a nice sack. Strong material, but your paying for a brand name.
   The other reviewers who complained about the size must not be able to read as the size is in the description. Giving a product a bad review because you can't read the description is wrong.



4. This is a stuff sack that is for the Therm-a-Rest bag (each pad has its own size, make sure you get the correct one). The pad fits perfectly, and the bag itself is very light, and I haven't needed to do extensive testing, but it seems rain proof. You do have to roll the pad VERY tight to make it fit, but as a backpacker space saving should be second nature. if you just want a dry bag for random stuff, look elsewhere for cheaper, and more watertight bags.



5. I was unsure whether to pay the extra money for this but went with the reviews I read and was glad I did. It takes up less space that way and doesn't come unrolled.

2 comments about Aloha Red Hawaiian Beach/Picnic Mat.

1. My seventeen-year old daughter and I are the proud owners of two beautiful beach mats. They are extremely practical because you can sit comfortably or lie down on the mats. The size is very generous, yet they are very lightweight. The natural feel of the product is great, and we wish we would have had these mats a long time ago. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!



2. I keep this in my car for whenever I need it! The size is perfect for sitting on the grass in the park, or lying down at the beach. I love the all natural feel of the mat. And the design on the fabric, built-in pouch is beautiful!!

5 comments about Tapas Basic Sticky Yoga Mat.

1. I would not recommend this as a primary mat for someone who practices on a regular basis, but it is low cost as a backup mat. This mat is very thin and clearly not as sturdy as most mats I have used, but it is also much less expensive.
   As some idea of usage, I know a few people who keep a spare mat in the trunk in case they forget their mat or have a spur of the moment desire to do Asana (at a park for example). This would work fine for that. Similarly, we are likely to order a few more for our kids and their friends to use when they have a "yoga party" during a play date (our kids are elementary school/toddler).
   We ordered one to be sent to my parents' house in advance of spending a week there - it was fine for us to have for keeping up our practice during that week. We left it so it will be there on other visits (and with the hope that it would spark my parents to give it a try). Again, the price made it possible to use it that way - making this a nice option for such "back up" items.



2. Extremely comfortable while doing yoga. This covers my body on the floor and you can stretch out. But of course, wash it down with a cloth when you first get it because the mat is sticky.



3. I really like this mat for travel. It is only 1/16" thick and can be folded and put in my suitcase. It is durable and sticky, great for practice in my hotel room, or on the beach.
   I agree this isn't a standard mat. THINK TRAVEL. I have also used it under another mat for additional cushion or traction.
   It cleans easily, doesn't smell, has a great color, nice texture and can fold!



4. I should start off by saying that I have not been practicing yoga very long and most (but not all) of my yoga practice has been through DVDs. This is the first yoga mat that I have purchased, so I don't have much to compare it to. I bought it because, when I do yoga at home, my hands slip on my carpet - especially when I am doing the downward facing dog position.
   I thought that this mat would be okay for me as a starter mat (if there is such a thing), since I'm still experimenting with yoga a little and I do not do yoga regularly. I wasn't sure that I was ready to invest in a more expensive mat. But, I guess you get what you pay for...
   My hands still slip when I use this mat, which is sort of frustrating, and the mat doesn't really serve it's purpose for me.
   So, I agree with the other reviewers that said that this is probably not the best choice for someone looking for a yoga mat for regular use. I guess it may be a good back-up mat to have in the car in case of a "yoga emergency."



5. The mat itself is very thin so I ended up having to find a yoga blanket for additional cushioning. Considering the price I guess I can't be too disappointed, but for my first yoga mat it does the trick.

1 comments about Waterproof Car Top Carrier WW-15-bk - Fits Cars with or Without Rack - Includes Storage Pouch and Non-scratch Protective Mat.

1. We had looked for a hard shell rooftop carrier, but where put off by the price of them and decided that this bag would be simple to set up and adequate for our luggage needs. It takes about 10 minutes to set up and 5 to remove.
   
   Plus we drove from CT to NC part of the way though rain and back, there was a slight MPG drop because of the wind resistance, but no leaks and it holds lots of luggage.
   
   We should get plenty of use out of this bag over the next couple of years. I also should mention that our vehichle already had stock roof rails.

1 comments about Wilson Golf Electric Auto Putt.

1. This is basically a good product, but the auto-return mechanism was badly engineered. The problem is that the golf ball usually has too much speed when it passes by the mechanism. so by the time the auto-return has triggered it clips the ball instead of wacking it. I solved this by screwing a screw into either side of the mechanism; the ball hits these screws and slows down and the ball is wacked back to the end of the mat. This exposed another problem; the auto-return mechanism would recoil and the ball was not wacked hard enough. I solved this by glueing the mechanism to the plastic frame it was sitting in. The resulting product works very well, and is fun to play with. Except .... if you hit the ball too hard, it can go over the top of the ball return shute and you have to fetch it.

2 comments about 3/8 inch Pilates Aero Yoga Mat.

1. Both me and the mat slide all over the place. It has no traction whatsoever and is absolutely not suitable for anyone who does yoga on a regular basis.



2. I like this one a ton because it's thicker than most so it gives extra padding and makes yoga much more comfortable. I love it.

1 comments about Chessex Role Playing Play Mat: "Battlemat" Double-Sided Reversible Mat for RPGs and Miniature Figure Games (26? x 23??).

1. I had my original one sided mat for over 15 years. They last that long. I accidentally used some permanent markers on it and ruined it this last year. I thought they were washable. Caution: these mats are only good for WET-erase markers only. Dry erase will damage them. Use wet erase or some crayola washable markers if you can't find the other. Use only water and tissues as over time the grid will rub off. Otherwise if you take good care of your mat like I did prior to my mishap, you will have it for a long time.
