Mainstays Beach Blanket, 79 in x 59 in, Sand and Water Resistant, Blue Grid

I gave this to my outdoorsy son, primarily because I was tired of trying to wash leaves, twigs, burrs and dirt out of my blankets that he kept taking with him on his campouts. These blankets are well made, and the cotton doesn't hold dirt, twigs, and burrs the way other fabrics do. I'm not sure how well it would hold up to bleaching. If it's color safe then I'm sure it would be fine. This blanket would be a great one to have if you're going swimming, or for a lawn concert, or fireworks show.

Bought this as a bday gift for my daughter to bring to the beach and lake. She loved it. It's VERY large and multiple people can easily sit or lay on it. The price was great. Folding it back up into the original shape isn't the easiest feat, will take teamwork.
