Yoga Mat Bags

A bag encloses the mat, keeps it dry, and gives you somewhere to put the things you'd otherwise carry in your hand. A sling is two loops and a shoulder strap; the mat stays exposed, which is fine for a walk to a studio and not fine on a bike in the rain. "Mat carrier" and "mat holder" mean either of these depending on who's selling.

Which fabric

Cotton canvas is structured, holds its shape empty, and washes. Hemp is tougher and naturally antimicrobial, which matters when a sweaty mat lives in it for the ride home. The organic cotton chakra bag is cotton canvas with a print, for people who want the bag to look like something.

Will it fit my mat

Width is rarely the problem; almost every mat is 24 inches wide. Thickness is. A 1/8-inch mat rolls to about 4 inches across and fits the 27 x 7 bag with room to spare. A 1/4-inch rubber or TPE mat rolls to 6 or more and wants the 32 x 8. If in doubt, the larger bag fits everything.
