Dope Ropes Jump Rope Mat

A good buy!

I hesitated buying this mat for a while making do with Yoga mats or gym equipment mats. I didn’t think it could really that much better. How wrong I was! The Dope Rope mat is great to jump on, it’s much more comfortable to the other mats and definitely much much better to jumping on concrete. It’s good quality material too! I definitely recommend this product.

Decent if you need a portable space-saving option to use at home

This is *just* big enough and provides an ok amount of padding and impact absorption. It's a compromise between size, weight, space etc.—any bigger and it would probably be heavy, unwieldy and difficult to store but as a beginner more space would be preferable. As it is you still need a decent amount of storage space for it rolled up or ideally somewhere it can just lie flat. You need to be quite good at staying in one spot and not moving too far forward or back, or you will end up catching the rope on the edges. I guess it's a good tool to practice stability and steadiness in that sense. I got it to provide additional shock absorption on the paving I practice on outside at home but if I had a permanent workout space in a garage for example I would probably go for gym or horse matting instead—more padding and better value.

Impressed by quality

I treated myself to this mat with gifted money, and it's worth the investment! I'd been jumping on my concrete patio for over a year and the mat has meant less impact and enabling longer sessions! Great delivery. It even lays flat very quickly after being rolled up for a few days. Impressed by the quality!
