I have many cgear mats. They last, I have yet to have one tear. It helps keep things clean while camping or beach going with kids. Sand and dirt goes right through. This little one rolls up nice and is very well thought out.

" Originally designed as a "deployable helmat" to eliminate dirt, dust and debris from being kicked up by military helicopters when landing, the 8-by-8-foot Multimat promises a "sand-free experience at the beach". With built-in ultraviolet protection, it can also be used for shade. "

I love the beach and my husband hates it. The part he hates is really the sand. It gets everywhere, it's hard to get off, you're always messy and itchy. When I heard about the CGear blanket it sounded like it could be the solution! I know there are a lot of products like this one on the market and some at a lower price point, but I did some research and this seemed like the most legitimate version of a sand free blanket. Now that we have it I'm happy to say that it works! It's kind of magical to see the sand fall through the blanket. We can now happily remain sand free at the beach.

This blanket/mat is fantastic. Took it to Lake McConaughy recently. Worked great. Three adults can lie on it comfortably. Was great for the grandkids to play on too. The sand stayed off and it is soft enough to lay on without feeling scratchy. Wet sand stays on top until it dries and then it falls through the mat not to be seen again. Best thing I've bought for the lake in a long time. Will be great to take to the park or mountains for picnics, lying under a tree, etc. We have the 6'6"x6'6".

I was very skeptical ordering this. The price is SERIOUSLY hard to swallow but I’m telling you it’s worth it. The quality, style, and practicality of this is what really justifies the price. I hate sand on my beach blankets which is why I was even willing to order this at all. Love it. And it’s cute!
