This is a thick and durable mat! Bought July 2017 when the mat was on sale so I was hoping it wouldn't be cheap and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived to find a great product. It's used up to 4 times a week by both my gf and I. She's even had to wash it in the shower due to being outside and it being dusty and it sat out to dry and was like brand new. It has some knicks/dents in it but we workout outside on rocks, uneven surfaces, with tennis shoes on, moving fast so if your an insider and using it less this mat should last even longer! 7 months and the wear and tear you can see on the photo attached but again I'm happy with not using an expensive mat outdoors and if your putting in work on the mat then your going to have some wear and tear.
