I've got the traditional (?) fold up style in grey coloring with black padded spots for the elbows. It's fine but I tell you what, those black padded spots get uncomfortably hot during our summer shooting season. I suggest one of the newer 'tactical' roll up mats in a desert break up tan or sandy color would be a bit better for high summer shooting.

I also have a Voodoo roll up mat that I received at Christmas, my girlfriend bought it off amazon.com. I've used it a couple times since and it's really nice, it's pretty compact but still offers good protection and comfort. It's just black though so we'll see how hot it gets in summer.
Check out this thread for some more ideas: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1017109-Best-place-to-buy-and-which-shooters-mat
I agree.
I have a mat that's pretty simple and separate. I think it's cheap NCstar as well? One more thing to bring to the range, but my case / bag stays clean and dry. Also sometimes the extra padding is great for those days on rough terrain or snow.
I've borrowed my workout mat to a buddy to shoot on and even use it a bit. Works just fine as well.
