Frelaxy Pocket Picnic Blanket, Waterproof Sandproof Beach Mat, Compact Camping Tarp for Festivals, Hiking, Travel, Outdoor Recreation (Army Green, 28'' x 47'')

These types of blankets are one of those things where once you have one you find you use it all the time.I have a much larger blanket of this type (though a different brand) and while I love that one, it is too big and difficult to manage for some situations, especially if just one person will be using it.This blanket is perfect for one person on the beach or in a park, and would comfortably seat two for something like an outdoor concert where you would both be sitting up. It is super compact and lightweight, and fits nicely into it’s little bag, so it’s very easy to carry with you. I keep mine in the car so I always have it handy; it takes up no room. It is very easy to pack/unpack for one person. It is waterproof. There is a loop at each corner so it could be tied or staked down (no stakes are included). I haven’t used it enough to speak to durability, but it seems that it will be very durable.Overall super handy, I definitely recommend!

Bought this to carry when I hammock camp while backpacking. It's the perfect ground cloth under your hammock. Very lightweight and yet heavy enough fabric to not be punctured by rocks and roots. Waterproof as well

Neat, little blanket for multiple uses. Mine has been to the beach several times and has held up well. I like it packs to a small size for easy transport and storage.

Totally perfect for a music festival. Kept by butt dry and my legs off the grass and packed down TINY so i could carry only my small sling bag. Great.

I like to pack light on my day hikes, and this is GREAT to have along on hikes and trips as well!PRO: Light, durable enough, provides warmth even.CON: It's a bit easy to lose the bag, if you don't pack it up right after use.Seriously, ONE con is all I could think of.I also took naps on and under this thing, and it worked great. All seasons, very useful.Finally, in our tent at the beach, since the tent is open-front, I was able to attach this blanket to the roof, and create a divider! The back of the tent was nice and dark and relaxing, and could be used for changing clothes and so on.Would buy again!

I bought this as a bench cover to use when it's raining or snowing out. Instead of sitting directly on a wet bench, I fold this out and we're able to sit without getting our pants soaked. It works perfectly and is super compact, waterproof, and effective! Very impressed at how small it packs down, really convenient for my hiking backpack.

I recently found myself in need of some sort of ground cover to use to sit on when attending events in or leisurely visiting parks and arboretums in a nearby city. To get into the city, public transportation is the best option so this means anything I need with me for the day needs to be carried in a backpack. I have arthritis so I try to make my pack weigh as little as possible while still being able to carry all I may need. This portable blanket is perfect for me - it only weighs a few ounces, packs up tight, and the few times I've used it in the week since receiving it, it seems pretty durable. The size is perfect for me as I was only looking for something to sit on just in case the ground is wet from earlier rains or morning mists. I would say area-wise, the one I ordered is equivalent to the size of a beach towel or so, or perhaps the bath sheets sold in some large big box stores. Any mud or grass stuck to the underside came off with a few shakes and I was able to just stuff it back into a stuff sack. I love how the item came folded but the way the sack is designed, it can just be stuffed inside. I appreciate that as who wants to have to obtain a doctorate in origami in order to fold a pocket blanket? Not me. So this is perfect and appreciated.

Appears to be the right size I ordered and is as sturdy as other brands I have used. I was disappointed though that it does not come with stakes.
