FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the blanket when open?

The PACMAT Picnic Blanket measures 140cm x 140cm when fully unfolded.

Is the blanket suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides a waterproof barrier, it is not an insulated blanket. For very cold weather, consider adding extra layers underneath.

Can I use this blanket directly on wet sand?

Yes, the waterproof ripstop nylon base will prevent moisture from the wet sand from soaking through to the surface.

How heavy is the blanket?

The blanket weighs 485g.

Are pegs included with the blanket?

No, pegs are not included. You will need to provide your own suitable stakes or pegs if you wish to anchor the blanket.

What is the packed size of the blanket?

When packed in its stuff bag, the blanket measures approximately 15cm x 12cm x 12cm.

What material is the top surface made of?

The surface is made from technical polyester, which is soft, water-shedding, and fast-drying.

Troubleshooting

Blanket remains damp after washing.

Ensure the blanket is hung to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Do not use a tumble dryer. Check that no fabric softener was used, which can impede drying.

Water seeping through from the ground.

Verify that the ripstop nylon base is intact and not torn. Ensure the blanket is laid flat and not bunched up, which can compromise the waterproof barrier.

Stains are difficult to remove.

For stubborn stains, try spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution before machine washing. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Blanket is difficult to pack into the stuff bag.

Ensure the blanket is completely dry and folded as tightly and evenly as possible. Rolling the blanket can sometimes make it easier to fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely waterproof base prevents ground moisture from seeping through.
  • Surface is soft, quick-drying, and doesn't retain odors.
  • Machine washable for effortless cleaning.
  • Very lightweight and packs down small for portability.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular outdoor use.
  • Includes secure tie-down points.

Cons

  • The busy multicolor bee print may not appeal to all users.
  • Requires separate purchase of pegs if anchoring is needed.
  • Surface may be prone to snagging on very rough terrain.
  • Packed size, while compact, might still be noticeable in small bags.
  • Polyester surface might feel slick in very dry, dusty conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack the blanket from its included stuff bag. Unfold to its full 140cm x 140cm size. If needed, use the four embroidered buttonholes in the corners to peg it down using suitable stakes (not included) for added stability.

Compatibility: The PACMAT is designed for use on most outdoor surfaces including grass, sand, gravel, and soil. It is compatible with standard tent pegs or stakes for anchoring.

Care:

  1. Washing: The surface is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the material's performance.
  2. Drying: Hang to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and fabric.
  3. Storage: Ensure the blanket is fully dry before folding it back into the stuff bag to prevent mold or mildew. Store in a cool, dry place.
