FAQs
What is the main advantage of this picnic blanket?
Its main advantage is its supersize dimensions (240cm x 280cm) combined with a lightweight and waterproof design, making it ideal for large groups and comfortable outdoor use.
Is the blanket suitable for wet ground?
Yes, the base is made from 100% recycled, super light, waterproof ripstop nylon, which effectively prevents ground moisture from seeping through.
How do I clean the PACMAT®?
The blanket is machine washable. Use a mild detergent and hang it to dry. Do not tumble dry or iron.
What are the dimensions when rolled up?
When rolled up, the blanket measures approximately 38cm in length and 14cm in diameter.
Can I use the buttonholes to secure the blanket?
Yes, there are six embroidered buttonholes around the edges that can be used with pegs or ropes (not included) to tie down or peg the mat.
What is the weight of the blanket?
The blanket weighs 1.5kg.
Is it suitable for cold weather?
While it provides a waterproof barrier, its primary function is keeping you off the damp ground. For significant cold, additional thermal layers may be beneficial, though Pacmat blankets are known to help insulate.
Troubleshooting
Blanket won't lay flat
Ensure the ground is relatively even. If windy, use the buttonholes to peg it down securely.
Water seeping through the base
Check for tears or damage in the ripstop nylon base. Ensure the blanket is not submerged in standing water, as the waterproof barrier is for ground moisture, not immersion.
Mildew or odor developing
Ensure the blanket is completely dry before storing. If mildew has formed, wash according to care instructions and dry thoroughly in sunlight if possible.
Difficulty rolling/tying
Ensure the blanket is clean and dry. Roll it tightly from one end, then use the elastic tie to secure it.
