It appears to be great for beach, but is it good enough for picnics in park/campsite as well. I don't see much padding to this blanket, hence I wonder

I would only use for beaches. It's very thin. Keeps out sand. Drys quick. And easy to shake off sand. Also very light and compact.

It's great for the sand. It has no padding, so if you lay it over sticks or pine straw, you'll feel it. It would not provide protection from Burrs.

There is no padding on the parasheet (think parachute material). If your campsite has rocks/pinecones/small twigs, you will feel them. If the ground is wet, it will seep through. (However, it will dry quickly.)

There's no padding. It's parachute material.... meant to keep your blanket or towel on top of it sand/dirt-free.

the other point i would add about this product is that the eyelets rusted after a single beach week... other than that it's very easy to use!

Perfect for the beach... Thin paper thin parachute fabric. Would not provide protection on a hard ground surface. Would be okay on a nice lawn.

This blanket is not waterproof and is very thin. It would work on dry grass at a park but I wouldn't put it on anything I wouldn't sit on without the sheet.

There is NO padding. We used it on dew covered grass and my pants got wet. It dried fast but my pants did not. So I say it will only be used on the beach or very dry grass. I love how small it bundles up to fit in my beach bag that is loaded with toys. The corner pockets are also very handy to load sand in and quickly secure my spot in the sand.

It is not padded enough for camping.My grandson uses it for nursery naps. It is very pretty and colorful.

Over a towel it would be great in that kind of setting. It does have the mesh sides so if the wind blows sand could get through but if you protect it with a towel around it or something of the sort it should work so I don't see that as being a problem. It's compact enough to just carry with you and it has a mat that you can take out and clean separately.

It's very light and great at the park. It does not work well at the beach though... Not like what it said.

So , the poncho liner is the name , but in the field we know that it is basically a very light compactable blanket , I can say that i have never and i have never seen anyone acutally use this with their poncho unless it was as a sleeping back , so i would say this is not really to be used as a " poncho liner " if you are wearing your poncho as wet weather gear . Its just a really good feild blanket or blanket in general. super lightweight and compacts really good .

Yes, This would be good for outdoor chairs, but I might try to get 3" thick for benches or 2 person swings, but that's just a personal preference. I don't think it's water resistant though, so I would use a more water-resistant fabric/scotchgard or bring it in out of the rain.

I live in Maine and need a blanket with it this time of year. It would be fine for summer here by itself. I'm very happy with it. Hope this helps.

Its perfect for a beach . But for a game it might be to ackwardly big . Unless you buy the smaller one you can fit 2 to 3 people . The big one fits 3 and over. The smaller one is as big as a regular beach umbrella you see on a beach . Hope this helps you out . Goodluck .

I really don't know.. We haven't used ours yet at the beach. I guess it could be used on a concrete surface if you put a blanket for comfort in there..

Personally, I think it would be a bit too light for use as a travel blanket, but that's just me. It might be just the right amount of warmth for you. I think it's a great idea and would take up so little room!! Give it a shot and share your experience with the rest of us as to whether you think it works in that capacity or not. I definately think it would be better than nothing. ~ jade ~

that is what I use it for. I covered it with outdoor fabric and use it as a cushion for a deck box. Keep in mind, it is VERY dense Not cushy at all

I think its a good size for theme parks and such. Plus it has the canopy for shade. The canopy comes off easily for transporting also.

I have a king size and I definitely wouldn't consider it for camping. If you get a smaller one, then maybe...Even then, I think it would be difficult. Unless of course you have an RV and just want to store somewhere in there till needed. You might be able to get a single size folded up and stuffed into a really big plastic bag that air gets sucked out if. If they even make them that big.

It would provide sufficient padding, I think, but it is a bit cumbersome. If you are traveling in a vehicle where you have plenty of space, it probably would not be a problem. But if you are backpacking into your campsite, it would be too big to roll up and pack with you.

Don't know because we haven't used it in months, but I remember it more along the size of a sleeping tent, as opposed to a screen house. I don't think it is long enough for a picnic table & not high enough if the plan is to protect those sitting at the table. Maybe over a patio table. However, it could be used on top of the table to protect food from insects. It would be very big for that, though.

I've had five and six year olds at it. It is great for outside picnics too.

yes it would be great for camping on the beach, but I always you this lightweight tent with a separate footprint in case I miss something sharp or pointy underneath the tent floor.
