Odoland Pocket Blanket Picnic Blanket, 71" x 63" SandProof Waterproof Outdoor Beach Blanket with Portable Bag, Foldable Lightweight Sand Free Quick Drying Beach Mat for Hiking Camping Travel,Grey

I ordered this to take with me to a music festival. Just wanted something small and simple to sit on to eat/rest. This worked perfect! I ordered the 43x63 size. It was plenty big enough for the two of us. It was small enough to fit into my clear bag, but I also like the fact that I could hook it to my bag if needed. It’s not super thick, but that was okay with us. The ground was wet from rain and the blanket kept us dry. I’m not sure how waterproof it would be in heavier rains though. It was easy to fold up and shove back in the bag. I’ll definitely use it again.

I thought this would be perfect for my son to keep in his locker. They needed a beach towel to keep at school but I figured this would be better since it is waterproof. It does the trick and is perfect compact size to keep in his locker. The blanket is very very thin but it does the trick for what he needs it for. This beats keeping a moist beach towel to rot in a locker.

I bought this little waterproof blanket for a trip to Scotland, where it can rain at any time. I had planned to attend an outdoor event and let's face it, rain ponchos are terrible - they hold in heat and humidity, which can be very uncomfortable. I wanted to wear a light rain coat as my main jacket, and have something small in my bag that would cover my lap in the event of rain. Well, it rained a little, off and on, so out came the blanket. I wrapped it around my legs and enjoyed the show without worrying about returning to my hotel later with wet pants. It was also a nice layer of warmth in a country where it still gets chilly at night, even in August. I loved this little blanket so much that I bought more of them to give as gifts this Christmas. Keep in mind though - it probably won't help much in a torrential downpour. But it takes up very little space in a small purse and it does the job quite nicely during a light rain. I highly recommend these little blankets (the small one for yourself, or maybe the next size up to share with a friend), unless you just love rain ponchos and wet pants...

Very compact but not at all waterproof. Completely soaked through on wet grass.

The blanket is really compact. I ordered after our last Caribbean vacation after being soaked in a tropical rain. I am looking forward to take those blankets to my next vacation to keep us and our stuff dry.

OK so we compared this blanket along with "Meafteryou" ($14.99) and "Bearz" ($26.99). The Bears was bigger by about a foot all around, and also seemed more substantial, more waterproof. Unfortunately it also felt less comfortable, like sitting on a camping tarp. This "Odoland" was much softer -- very similar to the "Meafteryou" brand except for the travel pouch, which here is conveniently attached to the blanket. Genius! This way I don't have to keep track of it and also it's really easy to stuff the blanket back in. The plastic snap could be stronger (I have a feeling we're going to need to reinforce it with a safety pin), but overall this design looks most promising. Still need to try it out in the real world but as long as it's reasonably water repellent we'll be thrilled (I'll change the star rating if it's not).

Needed something small for traveling and use for an outdoor event to sit on the grass. Came in handy for concerts at the park. The size I purchased was good for two people. It’s a thin material so don’t expect any cushion while sitting, keep us clean though.

These are just so convenient, light, and strong. Great when you have kids or go to the beach/lake, camping or whatever. Packs so small, its just easy to have on you.
