Built with robust panel construction, it balances comfort, safety, and longevity for general fitness and training across age groups.
Challenge
Provide a portable training surface that cushions well, connects cleanly, and stores easily.
Solution
Develop a durable, compact folding mat with high‑quality components and 2 in (51 mm) hook‑and‑loop fastener edges for easy panel joining and for use with the optional Model 1‑62 aluminum Velcro® wall hanger.
Product Sheet Product Specs
The Mat
Panels fold accordion‑style for quick setup and compact storage. Specify 51 mm (2 in) hook‑and‑loop fastener at the ends or on all four sides to link mats and build larger working areas or temporary runways. Used with the optional Model 1‑62 aluminum Velcro® wall hanger, the Collegiate can also serve as removable wall padding.
The Construction
A fire‑resistant, polyester‑reinforced vinyl cover (~0.61 kg/m² / 18 oz/yd²) wraps a 75 ILD polyurethane foam core at 51 mm (2 in) thickness—providing a medium level of impact attenuation suited to general fitness, youth programs, balance/stability training, functional fitness, flexibility work, and physical therapy. Seams are stitched with a 7 kg (15 lb) test nylon thread.
The Operation
Place the folded mat at the activity area, unfold the panels, and—if needed—join adjacent mats using the factory hook‑and‑loop fastener edges. For storage, refold in accordion fashion and shelve; when used as removable wall padding, hang with the optional wall hanger.
