On the Go Collection Quilted Checkered Throw Blanket - Room Essentials™

This is such a nice blanket for outdoor use. The bottom resists water and the top is a cozy, fleece material. It rolls up neatly protecting the fleece and has two built in elastic straps with a handle.

This picnic blanket is such a cute print, it looks very vintage style to me with the green checkered print. I love that one side is soft and cozy to lay on and the other side is perfect for the grass and nothing will stick to it. It’s and size for a few people to sit and relax on. It rolls up and has built on carrying handles, I like to keep this in my trunk so I always have it with me.

This will be a nice blanket to use outside for events. It says it repels water, although we have not had to test that yet. This will work nicely for us to sit outside to was local concerts or to lounge around in the grass. I like the green color and that it’s reversible. The outside feels like a sleeping bag, while the other side is more like a “wooly” fleece.

It is hard to overemphasize how ugly this blanket is. The color is a cross between army green and puke green. My first reaction was revulsion based on the color alone. And, unfortunately, nothing about the blanket was good enough to make up for the color. Pros: -The “shell” side has a cooling feel while the sherpa is soft and warm, so you could reverse the blanket depending on the use/ weather. -It comes with a handle to carry it and straps to keep it together (similar to a sleeping bag). -The handle is part of a flap that sticks out off the edge of the blanket, so when it comes time to roll it up again, the fact that the flap sticks out gives you a rough idea of how much of the width needs to hot-dog-folded together, which makes folding and rolling a breeze. Cons: -Did I mention it was ugly? Very, very ugly? -The flap that I mentioned (that sticks out off the edge) looks very odd when the blanket is unrolled. -Although the sherpa is soft, It’s not as soft as most other sherpa blankets or jackets items that I own - it feels more like an old sherpa that’s been through the wash a few to many times. Overall, I would not recommend this unless you’re looking for an intentionally ugly picnic blanket that you know no one will steal.

I like the color of this blanket. I do love how practical it is. The fuzzy side is not my favorite. If you lay on it you will end up with a lot of fuzz on your clothes. The lint just comes right off. Maybe itll get better with a wash.
