Advantages of natural cork

For the tree:

-The cork is all natural and is considered a sustainable and eco friendly process since the tree is not chopped down in the process. It is made from the bark of the Cork Oak tree. 

-The cork is typically harvested from a tree every 9-12 years and is not harmful to the tree. Harvesting the cork actually helps the tree grow.

On the mat:

-the cork is antibacterial, pliable, durable, and water (sweat) absorbent. The sweatier you get, the more grip you develop.

Tips For Use:

-Loving the grip, but looking for more? No problem, just lightly spray your Cork Helping Hands with a spritz or two of water prior to practice. Do not saturate.
