WEKAPO Beach Blanket Sandproof Waterproof, Extra Large Beach Mat

Genius idea thank you 😊

I did around 3 hours of research on XL beach blankets and finally settled on this brand and color. I looked all over the internet and at camping stores even considered buying a packable waterproof tarp/ ground sheet for tents but came to the conclusion the dark colors would get too hot in the sun and the cost was double. The grey and light blue is a nice combination- neutral enough to be inconspicuous on the beach but still bright enough not to look like a dirty old blanket. The problem with a lot of XL blankets in neon orange etc is that they are so massive and visually loud the whole beach gawks- unless you want to be the center of attention. The quality seems really good so far, the color blocks are sewn together by triple stitching, the fabric feels really silky and smooth on the skin, and there is a bit of sheen that reflects light, which makes it visually nicer than some tarp or dull and drab dollar store tablecloth. I love how it compacts down really small, which makes it possible to pack in carry-on bags for flights (obviously without pegs for security). The 10’ x 9’ size might seem like it is excessive but it’s not. It’s nice to have an additional foot of fabric above and below you when stretched out arms extended. Sand stays off much better when the edges of fabric are not subject to movement. A dreamy size for 1 or 2 people and essential for a family. If these were to ever retail at Costco they would fly out the door. Overall a very solid buy.

Nice and thin, easy to remove sand and fold back up

Ok

Blanket is large with pins at the end which are great for securing it into the sand. The downside is that the material is essentially plastic and stains very easily. Got a drop of sunscreen on the product and now there is a very noticeable stain permanently. The waterproofing also means that the water sits on top, so you need an additional towel to soak it up or else it says in small puddles in top.
