Top positive review

Tiny when folded and huge waterproof protection when unfolded.

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017

This product is great. I haven't tested the tear resistant claims yet on jagged terrain but it works great when you summit a mountain or climb and want something waterproof to sit down on while you snack and rest at the top. It feel like it is made of the same material as a parachute, so it feels extremely durable. My favorite part is the stitches to fold it. When I first opened it at home to test it out I didn't there would be any way I would ever be able to fold it back up into the tiny backpack friendly size it came in. Seriously, I am terrible at that kind of thing and I was 100% certain I wouldn't be able to do it. Even my wife said, "I think maybe will will need to just roll this one up). However, if you just follow the stitches to fold it, you will quickly and easily get it shrunk right back up to the tiny little size it started at. This product is great!

A few flaws in design hope they fix it in 3.0 and I'll be buying

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019

the blanket itself is good. the overall design is lacking. at least for the price they should have added the following
let me explain. Their "Matador Mini Pocket Blanket" (look it up on amazon) a smaller version of this. I have also and happy with it.
that one has a mini loop on the case for hanging to your bag or carbine. the cover coverse the entire blanket when folded.

Issue I have with this one: from design point:
1- when folded up, the pouch should cover the entire blanket not have 30% exposed. This is because when you throw this in your bag it gets bumped around and might get snagged on things that would damage the unprotected/exposed blanket. As well as get debris into the pouch
2- why no cloth loop in the cover? it would be nice to be able to hang it off something like the side of my hiking backpack
3- too heavy. Yes the included metal piece on each end is good and useful for keeping the blanket down in wind. Actually the metal is pretty good quality but it is heavy (from the perspective of a back packer where every Oz counts). The could have use some lighter type of metal for the metal piece. it might not as strong but for its purpose it is more than enough to hold down a blanket.

If they fix this mentioned in 3.0 I'm definitely a customer. but for this one I'm returning.

Great for a super portable, always available, sitting spot / picnic blanket

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2022

My sister introduced me to this during a day hike at Silver Falls State Park, Oregon. So many beautiful water falls there. I highly recommend it. Worth a destination stop. It's a developed trail system with quite a few people streaming from the developed parking areas. However, most people only go a short ways along the routes. Check it out online!

Anyway. This super portable pocket blanket came in quite handy for impromptu sitting in otherwise wet environments. The misty waterfall spray damped all surfaces around.

I'm going to buy another one now so that I have one in both my packs and am not caught without it in a time of need.

(I should also say that prior to my sister introducing this item, I was perfectly happy with sitting on dirty or wet surfaces much of the time. But this makes it sooo much better.)

Wouldnt recommend it for the beach

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

It was what I expected, small and practical. The only problem is the material is gets too hot. Wouldnt recommend it for the beach, but for a picnic or other weather it would work great. I love that it had tiny metallic stakes in every corner, so you can nail it to the ground like a tent, avoiding it from flying away.

Love! Perfect little travel sheet - small size is exactly what I needed

Perfect little travel sheet. Water resistant, fits perfectly in my small purse for "sitting emergencies". Easy to fold, the colorful stitching is appreciated as are the tiny metal stakes! Bought one for my purse and one for my car.

This is great for taking to the park, festivals, concerts, dirty floors. Haven't used it as a blanket on my body, but I imagine if it's water resistant it might help with some wind breaking or helpful in a pinch when it rains.

A versatile blanket that works for backpacking or just a lawn concert.

Love this blanket for camping. We set it down when hanging by the campfire, used it as a layer outside our tent opening for taking off boots, and even under our sleeping bags to keep out moisture on a cold night. Very versatile and packs so small, that it's never a hassle to throw in a pack. We even used it for a lawn concert!. Well worth the money!

Convenience in your pocket

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bring this with me everywhere. It's super tiny-- fits in my hand, and I can easily bring it in a small purse or have it take up almost no space in my hiking bag. Essentially, it's a camp/ tarp like "blanket" which keeps you from touching the ground, though you'll still feel the cold beneath it on chilly days, and the black can hold some heat when placed in direct beach sun. As with older versions, you need to be careful to anchor it otherwise it will fly away and it can be a bit of a pain to fold back up into the tiny case. But also-- it's SO CONVENIENT, it's a great back up for picnics/ beach days/ etc.

A little pricey, but it checks all the boxes! WORTH IT!

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021

It lives in my everyday bag. Need a place to sit? I'm prepared! Haha Even if the ground is damp we're good to sit. Drinks or sauces spill It's okay, just throw it in the wash! Make sure you read the wash instructions though. I love that the carrying bag is attached so I don't have to worry about losing it, and I found it easy to fold! The stakes in each corner have a pocket so it won't randomly stick out and poke someone. (I was concerned about that at first.) The price tag kept me on the fence for a while, but I'm so happy I got it!

Really Cool Product

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2021

Bought this because my wife and I go to festivals, the beach, and camping regularly. Hadn't seen anything like it before (at least not this specifically) and figured why not. Used it a couple times now and it has been great! Easy carry (in my pocket) and perfect amount of space for the both of us. Whenever we're done, just shake it off and fold it right back up, simple as that!
