I like to go out for a walk during lunch when I can, and with warmer weather thought it would be nice to have a picnic as often as I can. However, the nearest park to my work often is wet, or has mixed grass and dirt/mud. This seemed like a good way to go out, have a picnic, and keep my clothes clean. Finally took it out this weekend at another park to try it out and it works well. I am happy with it, and will probably end up keeping in under my desk at work, or put in a 'picnic kit' for road trips, concerts, and the like.
Things I like: -It is waterproof. -Folds up compactly and has a handle and two wrap around straps that can loop through the outside of a backpack. -The corners have loops that can be staked down. Good for windy days, although I haven't needed to use that. -I like the color.
Things that could be improved: -The size is fine for two adults (and maybe two toddlers) to sit on and eat, but it is too small to lie down on and keep your whole body on the mat. That being said, I don't care if my feet hang off the end, but if I had a larger family or was using it for naps I would get something bigger. -It is a little heavier than I expected. Totally fine for my purposes, or a leisurely day at the beach. But, I wouldn't take it backpacking.

Wait, don't get me wrong, I like this drop. But what fantasyland is the author who wrote this copy living in? The large size (essentially 7ft by 4.5ft) is suitable for up to eight people? For what? A game of twister?

ChicagoWayI agree; I'd say the large is good for two - four people tops, and that's if the four are really friendly. I use a 8x6 ground tarp sometimes when camping, and that is enough room for two adults to sleep on without bumping into each other. They should drop the smaller size and reduce the price for the large; then this might be an attractive drop.

Wish the drop included the larger mat (84''x55''). This one seems a bit too cramped for more than one person.

Why do you show a nice classic looking plaid designs in the description and then offer only crap designs? Feels a bit like a bait and switch.

MPNussbaum@MPNussbaum - I can assure you this was no bait and switch, and I do apologize that we aren't able to offer the pattern shown in the photos. Our vendor does not have sufficient inventory to make that particular pattern available for our community. However, if this drop proves to be a success AND there is solid demand for other patterns and/or sizes, then it is more likely we'll be able to persuade Alite to work with us again and in a great capacity. So thank you for raising your concern and I'll work to get a great variety of patterns next time around!

DannyMilksI'd be in for the larger plaid design, but not interested in the small or other designs.

If I were to get in on this I would want to use it, mainly, for Jazzfest in New Orleans. It usually rains every year leaving the grounds saturated. I've tried SO MANY blankets and every time as soon as you apply weight to the blanket water seeps up through. Can anyone confirm from use that this is 100% waterproof and will not seep water once body weight is applied over saturated ground?

Wait_For_The_DropThis is my problem as well and why I'm hoping an actual waterproof blanket exists.

tl;dr: Don't drop this next time around without the large plaid as the primary option.

I'd just like to join my fellow droppers and express my interest for the large plaid version of this product. Thanks!
