ASAB extra large picnic blanket with waterproof backing | 300cm x 220cm tent carpet | xxl beach rug | jumbo size | water resistant garden mat - Red

Our only wish was that it were a little bigger, because at five by five feet, we could really only fit one to two people on it (and that’s just sitting, not laying down). However, this could be a great option for smaller children or a parent with kids. For its convenient portability, soft fleece, durability, and budget-friendly price, we’re pretty thrilled with this on-the-go picnic blanket. The flip side of having a blanket that's so lightweight and breathable is that it doesn't stand up to rough terrain very well. Make no doubt about it: This is not the blanket you want for a picnic in the woods. But for everyday use in the park, on the ball field, or at the beach, it should be just fine. While we love the fleece top layer on this blanket, it is a bit of a double-edged sword. The fabric isn't waterproof, so we'd advise opting for something else if you've got kids or pets on the move while on your picnic. It's also on the smaller side, coming in at just 59" x 69".After this, we lounged, stretching out on the length of the blankets to see if they could fit our whole bodies comfortably, or if we started to touch the ground (which we would not want on potentially wet terrains). Then, we tested the polyester side's waterproof abilities, dumping water and grape juice onto the surface to see if it soaked up or stained. To take it an extra step further, we got a bit of sand on it too, just to see how much (or little) each fabric would hold on to the granules as we shook them out, as if we were leaving the beach after a long day on the shoreline. Look for waterproof or water-resistance features to prevent moisture seeping through, an easy-clean composition and a fab design you’ll spot in a crowd. Also, make sure the blanket is the right size for your family – because no one likes ending up on the grass. Can you wash a picnic blanket? For starters, the ZAZE picnic blanket is massive — a whopping 80" x 80". That should be plenty of room for four adults to sit or six to eight kids, with food included, of course. It also features a three-ply construction. The bottom layer is waterproof, so you'll never have to worry about pesky dew for an early morning sit. The middle layer is a comfortable cotton that adds a bit of padding, and the top layer is polyester, which also acts as a water-resistant surface, so there's no need to worry about spills. We were also super impressed with the stitching on this blanket. Almost quilt-like, the stitching ensures that this blanket will stand the test of time. Of course, portability is also a huge factor when it comes to picnic blankets, and this one delivers. It conveniently rolls up with a Velcro closure that reviewers say is quite sturdy. Reviewers also mention that this blanket is perfect for just about anywhere, from sandy beaches to picnics in the park.
