If you're headed somewhere tropical with a hot yoga studio, the YogiOnTheGo mat is for you. Because it's made with a soft fabric layer on top, the sweatier you get, the better the grip. In addition to that, there's an extra hygienic waterproof layer that acts as a barrier to odors and bacteria. After a particularly sweaty workout, the entire thing can be thrown in the washing machine and then the dryer, so it's like new for your next practice. It also folds up into a tiny square and weighs under two pounds, so it'll fit in basically any bag you've got.

With a 1/8-inch thickness, the Jade travel yoga mat is definitely one of your thicker options. Because of that, reviewers say it provides "adequate cushioning for knees and joints" while still remaining "lightweight enough to carry around on the metro/buses." It rolls up into a very thin tube that's easy to toss over your shoulder or stow away in your suitcase. In addition to added support, the natural rubber material also provides superior grip to hold your poses. Each color is available in two sizes — 68 inches and 74 inches — to accommodate taller yogis who need more room to practice.

Wherever your practice takes you, the Manduka eKO SuperLite yoga mat can handle it. It folds up to fit in your travel bag or purse and weighs about two pounds, but despite how lightweight and thin it is, it's still pretty darn durable. The tightly woven scrim resists tearing or stretching on any surface, and the natural tree rubber has a closed-cell design to prevent the absorption of moisture and the growth of bacteria. "It's been with me to Antarctica, Hawaii, and on many quick overnight trips," says one reviewer. "Much 'stickier' than any other mat I've owned, yet it doesn't pick up dog hair or sand the way I dreaded it would." It's available in 11 bright colors, and it creates zero waste during manufacturing, too.

Oftentimes, less expensive mats are made of less expensive material, which means you're slipping all over the place. Not this one. The Gaiam foldable yoga mat is only $20, but its unique sticky texture provides stable footing for optimal performance anywhere. It folds into a 10-inch by 12-inch square, which fits easily in your carry-on or tote, and it comes in six truly eye-catching designs and colors. "Very lightweight yet provides decent cushion," says one reviewer, while another comments, "During a recent trip to Hawaii I had planned on devoting time to my yoga practice. This included doing a yoga jungle hike ... Fantastic mat for not only travel, but everyday use."

Ideal for the world traveler, the YOGO Ultralight travel mat has a patented folding design to fit in small bags with ease. It has attached straps that keep it rolled up and can also be used to hang it from virtually any structure after you've washed it down. (If you're practicing on a beach or on a hike, this is a must — unless you want to fold up a wet, sandy mat and stick it back in your bag.) Last but not least, the super sticky material is actually sustainably-harvested rubber, and the company plants one tree for every mat purchased. It doesn't get much more eco-friendly than that.

There are plenty of reasons why people love the Liforme travel mat: it has a revolutionary grip material without any unwanted stretch, it's kind to your body and the planet, and it's lightweight and comes with a free carrying bag. Reviewers even go so far as to call the design "meticulously thought out" and "the best mat for any type of yoga." However, the real selling point is the original alignment system. Its unique on-mat markers give you as much or as little guidance as you need to ensure that your hands and feet are always in the correct place, all while keeping portability in mind.

If you're really limited on suitcase space, these genius gloves and socks are the way to go. Yoga Paws allow you to enjoy all the benefits of a full-sized yoga mat without any of the hassle. They're made of a stretchy, breathable mesh material that's lined with a non-slip natural rubber, so your hands and feet stay put on any surface. They're available in five colors, and reviewers are raving about them: "I recently got a pair of the Yoga Paws Skin Thins before heading [oversees for two weeks] ... I was able to practice on hotel balcony and on the deck comfortably without a mat. These are a new travel must for me!" The best news? They fit right in your purse or even your pockets.
