This is a very nice blanket made of parachute material with 6 pockets in great locations to keep the blanket from blowing away. You can hide your valuables in the pockets or fill them with sand. I really love that you can store the entire blanket into ONE pocket to store or carry it in your beach beach, hiking bag, or whatever. I definitely plan to keep this in car so I always have this with me. I am in love already with Fall coming this blanket is going to be getting a workout at concerts, picnics, and so much more!
