It provides a comfortable and easily cleanable surface to sit and eat on. Whether dips, drinks or anything else more random falls on it, people won't have to scramble too much to clean up the mess.

Designed by Alite Designs, the waterproof picnic blanket is not only washable, it is lightweight and conveniently rolls up into a compact package for portability. This made even more convenient by way of attached straps and handles. It even boasts corner loops to secure to the ground on windy days.
