Outdoor Pocket Blanket - Lightweight, Durable and Waterproof - Beach, Hiking, Picnic and Camping Essentials - 60" x 56" - Gray

I know a lot of reviews on Amazon come from people who received a product at a discount or even free. I paid full price for these blankets and am writing this review because they truly are awesome. I ordered two and will definitely be adding more a day gifting then to my friends and family. First off this blanket is actually water-PROOF, not just resistant. That is huge for me both in a camping/hiking/survival situation and also just for sitting around the campfire or at a concert. Most blankets soak through very quickly, not this one; it keeps me totally dry. I can use it as a shelter or rain fly if needed and I feel confident I will stay dry. Secondly I love the grommets for staking it down and also the sand pockets. These pockets are often overlooked but are actually very smart. I don't always have stakes on me, like out with the family or just around our firepit or at the beach, but if it's windy I can grab some rocks or sand and pack the sand pockets at each corner and viola, a sturdy windproof blanket virtually anywhere. If you like being outdoors for any reason, grab a couple of these. They pack down tiny and literally will fit in your pocket. Throw them in your hiking, hunting, school or beach bag.

Bought this to replace my old ratty military 'poncho liner' that I used for just about everything other than a poncho liner. This is perfect for inside or under a tent, great on the sand as a place to sit for a picnic, or a shelter in the rain. I use it mainly as a ground cloth for hiking but also made a shelter out of it from the sun on a few occasions by either tying it up to trees, or using my trekking poles as supports and inserting them into the sewn in support pockets at each grommeted end. Not sure what the intended use of the corner pockets are, but it works great for inserting poles and even rocks to hold it down on the ends in the wind and likely adds strength to the grommets. Material seems like a good balance between being tough and also being lightweight. The stuff bag that comes with it is nice and the small carabiner included means you can stuff it in a pack or hang it. Takes up very little space.

Really came in handy for a music festival I attended this past weekend. Very light weight tarp, durable, water resistant, and thin enough to stow away in a bag without taking up too much room. Performance was unmatched! Size was perfect for 4-6 people to fit comfortably.

I ordered the green beach blanket. It’s an ugly dark grey, with green triangles in the corners and a green stuff sack. It was much smaller than I thought , but it will do what I bought it for. It is light weight and doesn’t take up much room when in the stuff sack. It was hard to compress/fold small enough to get back in the sack. Can not stuff it in. Tried to fold along the deep creases left from the original folded form as it came out of the sack. Finally rolled the folded form I had managed and wedged it into the sack. It’s a thick plastic. More flexible than a harbor freight tarp, but about the same thickness. Should be able to shed sand and water. Good to lay out, but I wouldn’t want to cover with it. Will make a good waterproof barrier to lay down before covering it with a cloth blanket or towel. Rivets and flaps at the corners so it could be hung, or staked down, or fill the corner pockets with sand or rock to hold it down. Could even use the corners to secure the top blanket I would choose to use with it. I will use it backpacking. It’s small size and lightweight will be assets, and it will have many uses as a mini flexible tarp. Better than a sheet of plastic. It doesn’t make crinkling sounds. It’s too small to fit under a tent or sleeping bag, but I will find other uses for it.

I took this hiking in Duluth, MN and it was perfect! Sand, dirt, and water run right off and it is so light and easy to pack. The material doesn't feel all that thick but it is actually very durable. I would definitely recommend this product!

I bought these for our band competitions. They fit 4-5 people on them and do not penetrate water through the ground like a blanket would. It rolls up into the carry bag easy, and clips to a backpack. I bought two for competition season so the kids have somewhere to sit down without getting their uniforms dirty. They are super light weight and take up very little room in my mom backpack.

Absolutely love these lightweight compact tarps. Perfect for spontaneous adventures, hiking, picnics and more. Very durable too and even machine washable. They keep everyone dry and comfy. Definitely recommend them!

Worked great, but pretty noisy to use as a blanket.

la entrega ha sido rápida correcta el embalaje perfecto ocupa muy poco espacio pero es muy amplio abierto

Top. Petit et leger. Permet de poser son sac ou ses fesses sans se salir.

Ich liebe diese Decke. Super klein, leicht und praktisch.

Ottimo telo multifunzione. Si può usare per il picnic, per la tenda, come riparo d'emergenza, in spiaggia, al parco, in montagna, per coprire il vano di carico di un fuoristrada, in barca ecc. Indispensabile se si hanno cani o bambini! Si lava facilmente in lavatrice (detersivo liquido delicato senza nient'altro, centrifuga max 400 giri, max 30 gradi, ciclo lana e delicati) e torna perfettamente pulito, pronto per la prossima uscita. Piccolo e compatto, munito di pratica borsettina coordinata e moschettone, perfetto da avere sempre con sè. Ho apprezzato davvero tantissimo gli occhielli sugli angoli (da usare con i picchetti per fissarlo al terreno o con un cordino per usarlo come riparo) e le tasche sugli angoli (si possono usare con sassi o sabbia per tenerlo fermo a terra o per conservare al riparo dal sole piccoli oggetti che non si vuole perdere). Davvero un ottimo prodotto, ben rifinito e ben progettato. Abbastanza leggero da averlo sempre con sè. Attenzione che non si tratta di un telo isolante ed è solo leggermente impermeabile, quindi se il terreno è freddo e bagnato sentirete ancora freddo e un po' di umidità passerà. Lo consiglio!

I've used this on camping trips in the arctic and amazon rainforest - it works well for that- quite light weight but heavy enough to be durable, not flap around too much in the wind and to cover a large enough area. I used it to change clothes on and arrange my stuff so it doesn't get lost on the forest floor. It would also work well as a small tarp, but I've not used it for that.
