I purchased this mat about 6 months ago. I practice on it at least once a week. I have not had the ‘wearing out’ trouble that some others mentioned. Instead, when I roll it out it truly becomes my magic carpet. The thickness is so wonderful on your knees and other joints. I agree there is a natural rubber smell. This abates over time to a degree, and of course if you leave it wound up tightly it will preserve the smell longer. I also agree that the main problem with this mat is that it has a major static attraction to dust, hair, etc. that is on the floor. It hasn’t been a major problem but it is something I notice with this mat more so than other mats.

I’ve used it a handful of times and it is just the right thickness and isn’t slippery at all 
I don’t notice the rubber smell and love that it’s a little more earth-friendly than other options.

These mats are much more "sticky" than the average mat even when I am sweating from a hot practice. They are also thicker and can be purchased in a longer version (good for tall people and angle or lunge poses). Some people are bothered by the rubber smell - I hung mine over a rod for a week and it seems fine. The sustainability was important to me too - a natural product helps me feel more connected to the world than a petroleum product. I recommend these to my students and to you too!

This mat is wearing out really fast in spots wear it gets consistent pressure/dragging. also, you really really have to wash your hands at least 3 times after using the mat, otherwise you will get a bitter rubber taste if you try to eat or cook anything. and the mat smells strongly of rubber (which doesn’t bother me–its a natural smell–but might bother some). also it’s a little heavy.
having said that, i will add that this is the first mat i have used that does NOT slip even when sweaty! which is great. and it provides a much more solid and supportive cushioning than standard yoga mats, and generally feels good to practice on. hence the 4 stars.
