It appears to be great for beach, but is it good enough for picnics in park/campsite as well. I don't see much padding to this blanket, hence I wonder

I would only use for beaches. It's very thin. Keeps out sand. Drys quick. And easy to shake off sand. Also very light and compact.

It's great for the sand. It has no padding, so if you lay it over sticks or pine straw, you'll feel it. It would not provide protection from Burrs.

There is no padding on the parasheet (think parachute material). If your campsite has rocks/pinecones/small twigs, you will feel them. If the ground is wet, it will seep through. (However, it will dry quickly.)

There's no padding. It's parachute material.... meant to keep your blanket or towel on top of it sand/dirt-free.

the other point i would add about this product is that the eyelets rusted after a single beach week... other than that it's very easy to use!

Perfect for the beach... Thin paper thin parachute fabric. Would not provide protection on a hard ground surface. Would be okay on a nice lawn.

This blanket is not waterproof and is very thin. It would work on dry grass at a park but I wouldn't put it on anything I wouldn't sit on without the sheet.

There is NO padding. We used it on dew covered grass and my pants got wet. It dried fast but my pants did not. So I say it will only be used on the beach or very dry grass. I love how small it bundles up to fit in my beach bag that is loaded with toys. The corner pockets are also very handy to load sand in and quickly secure my spot in the sand.

Definitely would be good at the beach, I would prefer it over plastic, it might even be cooler. Very, very sturdy and COMFORTABLE! It is a little wider than regular folding chairs but it is not higher off the ground. Two children could sit in this chair, but not "several" adults, check measurements :)

With two people you can lift the opened screen tent over a picnic table. It's easier with three people or it helps if the two people have a pretty good arm spread. It's roomy enough for a standard "state park" picnic table. We bought it so that we could eat at the picnic table without being bothered by bugs or rain, when we're camping. Keep in mind that, because of the angled walls, the actual rain protection area is not much bigger than the space needed to sit at the picnic table.

It probably would be. We did not use at beach but it did help keep mosquitoes and these small bees away during our camping trip. Hope that helps.

I think so. I'd lay a blanket down first to protect the tent floor. It's definitely not made for outside use. It's thin nylon and wouldn't provide much protection from the elements. But for outside play during the day I think it would work.

Don't know because we haven't used it in months, but I remember it more along the size of a sleeping tent, as opposed to a screen house. I don't think it is long enough for a picnic table & not high enough if the plan is to protect those sitting at the table. Maybe over a patio table. However, it could be used on top of the table to protect food from insects. It would be very big for that, though.

Not too bad actually, so long as you have a helper holding open the bag and practice folding it up in the back yard before going to the windy beach! Also, bring plastic bags to fill with sand and put into the pockets in the sides, helps in strong winds

So , the poncho liner is the name , but in the field we know that it is basically a very light compactable blanket , I can say that i have never and i have never seen anyone acutally use this with their poncho unless it was as a sleeping back , so i would say this is not really to be used as a " poncho liner " if you are wearing your poncho as wet weather gear . Its just a really good feild blanket or blanket in general. super lightweight and compacts really good .

I wouldnt recommend this for cold weather camping, the material seems exceptionally thin, the netting is prone to tearing easily, we used it in central oregon in august and while we didnt have the leaking issues some people have had I wouldn't imagine it would hold heat very well. there would be the advantage of having more people in the tent but I dont think it would offset the other problems. overall I really liked this for hot weather camping, the air flowed really well out of the top keeping even the daytime temperatures low.

I think its a good size for theme parks and such. Plus it has the canopy for shade. The canopy comes off easily for transporting also.

This sleeping bag is for indoor and summer use. Can be used outdoor but I would recommend to have additional blankets as well.

It's very light and great at the park. It does not work well at the beach though... Not like what it said.

It's thin so if you're using it on hot sand it'll be warm, but it's still a lot better than a bed sheet for beach days. It's a nice product, and is easy to clean when it's on a messy surface.

Its perfect for a beach . But for a game it might be to ackwardly big . Unless you buy the smaller one you can fit 2 to 3 people . The big one fits 3 and over. The smaller one is as big as a regular beach umbrella you see on a beach . Hope this helps you out . Goodluck .

I haven't tried it on the beach, but I think it would be great because it is soft and very large.

Much of that depends on your own comfort level, what clothing you have on, what type of protection you have from the ground, and so on. This blanket might be rated at summer bag level of warmth except without the enclosed foot box and side zippers, so plan accordingly. This is designed more for sitting around camp watching the fire and the occasional trip to the latrine. I toss it over my bag, or beneath me, if I need a little extra warmth, but I would not bring this INSTEAD of a regular bag.

I use it indoors, but I wouldn't object to using it outdoors. Like another user said, bringing it to the beach seems like a great idea!
