What are the advantages and disadvantages of a PVC yoga mat?

The PVC yoga mat is known for its long life. The mat is very strong and will last for years. In addition, the mat has a good dry grip.
The disadvantage of a PVC yoga mat is that it becomes slippery when wet. This is due to the closed cell structure of the top layer. For a sweaty yoga session it is best to choose a rubber yoga mat. A rubber yoga mat has a top layer with open cell structure, so the moisture in the foam core will be absorbed. In addition, you can use the PVC yoga mat in combination with a yoga towel for optimal wet grip.
