Grand Trunk Parasheet Beach Blanket

The corner sand pockets are quite effective for casual use. By filling them with sand or rocks, you add enough weight to keep the corners from flapping in a light breeze. For windier days, the integrated stake loops provide an extra layer of security if you choose to use ground stakes.

Yes, the 100% parachute nylon is smooth and soft to the touch. It feels similar to a lightweight sleeping bag liner or hammock material, which is much more comfortable than traditional plastic or woven straw mats.

It does. Because the nylon is non-porous and smooth, sand doesn't get trapped in the weave like it does with cotton towels. A quick shake is usually all it takes to clear the surface before packing it away.

At 84 inches by 84 inches, it provides a generous 7-foot square footprint. It is spacious enough for two adults to lounge comfortably without touching, or for a small family to sit together.

It packs down to a very small size, roughly the size of a large grapefruit or a small water bottle. It is designed to be tossed into a beach bag or backpack without taking up significant space.

The parachute nylon is water-resistant and dries very quickly. While it isn't a waterproof tarp, it won't soak up water like a towel, making it ideal for damp sand or grass.
