Manduka GRP Adapt Yoga Mat

The GRP Adapt uses an absorbent polyurethane top over a natural-rubber base, while the PROlite uses a closed-cell construction. The GRP Adapt is designed to become grippier as moisture increases, making it the more sweat-focused option.

The GRP Adapt is approximately 5 mm thick and the standard size is about 66 by 180 cm. That gives it more cushioning than the 4.7 mm PROlite while keeping a conventional studio-mat footprint.

Yes, moisture absorption is one of its defining features, so it is built for sweaty sessions and hot yoga. Manduka says the mat is 99 percent latex-free, but people with latex sensitivity should still follow the manufacturer's warning.

Wipe the polyurethane surface with a damp cloth and use a cleaner approved for the GRP material. Let it dry completely before rolling it, because trapped moisture can affect an open-cell surface.
