We do a fair bit of stuff outdoors, whether it’s heading to the park with the grandkids or just needing a dry spot to sit when we’re out and about. I picked up this Poedist picnic blanket, the dark blue and red one, and I’ve got to say, it’s made a good impression.What I like right off the bat is the size. They say it’s for 6-8 adults, and they’re not kidding. There’s plenty of room, so you’re not all crammed together. The other big thing for me is the waterproof backing. We’ve used it on grass that was still a bit damp from the morning dew, and it kept us perfectly dry. No seepage at all, which is exactly what you want. When it’s time to pack up, it folds down to a decent size, with a handle, making it easy enough to carry. The fact that you can toss it in the washing machine is a major plus. Kids, food, outdoors – things get messy, and not having to hand scrub a big blanket is a relief.Now, if I’m looking for things to pick at, the top material is comfortable enough for sitting on, but it’s not like some super soft, plush thing you’d want to nap on for hours. It feels durable, like it’s meant for being outside, which it is. And getting it folded back just right so the strap lines up perfectly took me a couple of tries the first time. But once you get the pattern down, it’s straightforward.Overall, this blanket does exactly what I need it to do. It’s big, it keeps the wet out, it’s easy to clean, and it seems like it’ll hold up. For a practical, no-nonsense outdoor blanket, it’s a solid piece of gear.
