I have a big and thick table pad but it is difficult to carry as it can only be rolled up and even then it is very bulky. This smaller and thinner mat (300 x 200 x 1.16mm) is perfect for my portable kit. It folds easily and is still thick enough to provide good thermal insulation. The size is also perfect for everyday use. Four adhesive pads were included, but I don't see the point in doing so as the silicone of course doesn't slip. For comparison, my larger mat is 2.67mm thick.
