Review on Gear Up For Picnics With Yodo'S Extra Large Outdoor Blanket Tote - Waterproof Backing, 79" X 79" - Navy/Red Stripe Perfect For Spring And Summer! by Luis Estrella

I have a large family with young kids and we spend tons of time exploring outside. We ordered this blanket as an upgrade from our old one. I love how large and comfortable it is, however after a few uses Ive realized that there are a few design flaws. The first is that the fleece is super absorbant and naturally draws moisture in, which is fine except that it gets soggy at the beach and takes a bit to dry off. Also, the fleece sticks to everything, Sand, pine needles, dirt, spills.etc are really hard to remove once they are there. Our previous blanket was not waterproof but the texture was smooth so dirt/ nature could be shaken off and spills did absorb but were easily mopped up and it dried fast. I also wish it folded easier, the foam makes it very comfortable but hard to fold.I would say this would be a nice purchase for adults picnicking on grass or for an occasional outdoor concert etc, but wouldn't be a great beach blanket and If I continue to use it I will have to machine wash it after each use.not a fan of that.
