I have travelled with this two times this month, and it works great in the hotel room. The grip is great, and I appreciate that it is not made from plastic. It is thin, so if you use it on hard surfaces it won't pad your knees all that well, but that's the compromise for a yoga mat that packs down so small! I really love how it cools up so compact, I was able to fit it in my suitcase carry-on for a short trip.
