I've used them a couple of times and they're alright, can't really go wrong for that price.  The one issue I found was the rucksack style carrying straps tended to rip off but that was with older versions and I know they were aware of it so it might have been sorted out by now.

It's an alright mat as a spare or a first buy, I think.

I have the small one, the woomf but also a moon mat.

Both as good as each other, alpkit is definitely the place to go if you are buying a brand new mat, especially at those prices.

Good at that price.. the foam on mine was getting pretty soft after 18 months - and the case started to fall apart after a year (or so) but I used it fairly heavily... (1-2 times a week - pretty much every week). I bought a replacement cover which seemed beefier (which is probaly the one on these)

My (slightly smaller) Snap Calzone which cost £99 has lasted twice as long and is still as firm as a pert thing.

You pays yer money... you takes yer choice. But if you're not going to use it too often then its a great deal....

Had mine for three years or so ..... Fairly heavy usage , but then I am a fat fucker , and the foam is still okish ( still better than the bar towel I used to use  :thumbsup:) ...... Shell started to fall apart fairly quickly , the thing the straps thread through ripped off , but with a bit of fancy needlework it's still going strong .......

had one, well still have it.  It was fine for the price but did not survive a collision with a tree whilst scampering down the fontainbleau landscape at speed in the heavy rain.  Snapped the strapping off (this was the old style one)
