What Does the Open-Cell Construction of the GRP Series Mean?Updated 2 hours ago
The GRP Adapt features an open-cell surface, which means the mat is designed to absorb moisture rather than keep it on the surface. This moisture-absorbing construction helps provide reliable grip in both dry and sweaty conditions, making it a popular choice for heated and high-intensity practices.
The trade-off of an open-cell design is that, because the mat absorbs moisture, it will naturally show signs of wear more quickly than a closed-cell mat. Over time, regular use, perspiration, and cleaning can affect the appearance and performance of the surface.
This is one of the key differences between the GRP Adapt and closed-cell mats such as the PRO Series. While closed-cell mats prioritize durability and prevent moisture absorption, the GRP Adapt is designed to maximize moisture-responsive grip, even during the sweatiest practices.
Like all yoga mats, proper care and maintenance can help preserve performance and extend the life of the mat.
