This is an unusual yoga mat bag. The look is great, and I actually prefer the mat hanging vertically vs. horizontally, where it can bump into things. It is a bit of a tight fit for thicker mats, but the mat does slide in if rolled tightly. I was a little surprised that you tie the bag in a knot to fasten the ends on your shoulder. I am thinking of taking it to an alteration store to sew the ends together, once I determine the most comfortable drop from the shoulder. The pocket is helpful, but there is not much room in there either. The print is very pleasing, and it comes in two different color choices. All in all I am pleased with the bag.
