POPCHOSE Beach Blanket - Review 2023

Overview

The POPCHOSE Beach Blanket is a compact blanket that is easy to carry everywhere. It is made of breathable and water-resistant polyester with strong triple stitching.

The water-resistant fabric helps keep moisture off. Further, this blanket quickly dries in case it gets wet.

While this blanket can’t avoid collecting sand, it is not that difficult to shake the sand off. It is also quite easy to clean.

Portable and versatile, the POPCHOSE Beach Blanket is ideal for any occasion outdoors. You can take it to the beach or park. It may also be useful at outdoor concerts or sports matches.

This blanket is compact when folded and spacious when laid out. Suitable for families, the Extra-Large model has enough surface area for up to seven people.

With five sand anchor pockets and six ground stakes, this outdoor blanket can resist winds in most cases. The sand anchor pockets also have built-in zippers so that you can store your valuables conveniently.

Let’s dive in to find out whether or not the POPCHOSE Beach Blanket is worth your money!

Durable and Large

This blanket is a multipurpose blanket intended for various outdoor uses. It has a two-tone design suitable for any occasion, whether you are basking under the sun at the beach or spending a day at the park.

This beach blanket is made of 210T parachute ripstop polyester, a breathable and lightweight material. With triple stitching, it offers maximum strength and durability. This material is also moisture-resistant, preventing water from getting through easily. Nonetheless, it dries rapidly if it gets wet.

Measuring 9’ x 7’, the POPCHOSE Beach Blanket is huge enough to fit four to seven people. Despite its large size, it folds compactly into an attached carry bag. It is portable enough to fit in your backpack or even cargo shorts.

This blanket has a double wind-resistant design, coming with five integrated sand anchor pockets and six anchoring loops with ground stakes. To prevent strong winds from blowing it over, you can fill the pockets with sand or rocks. At the same time, you can stake it securely into the sand using the anchoring loops and ground stakes.

The sand anchor pockets also have built-in zippers, allowing you to store your valuables.

Further, greases and stains may be removed easily from the POPCHOSE Beach Blanket. You can wash it using cold water.

Portable and Versatile

What we like the most about this blanket is its compact and lightweight design. Built with portability in mind, it has an attached carry bag with triple-stitched straps. It is easy to store and transport. The pouch is also impossible to lose since it is attached to the blanket itself.

The water resistance of this blanket’s fabric is also helpful. Even if you sit on it wearing your wet swimwear, it will dry fast. You can still sit or lay on it comfortably. Accidental spills are not also a major concern given the quick-dry nature of the 210T parachute ripstop polyester.

Moist from grass is also unlikely to penetrate the fabric. That’s why the POPCHOSE Beach Blanket is suitable not only for beach use but also for picnics.

The issue with many thin beach blankets, such as the Wekapo Sand Free Beach Blanket, is that they have difficulties resisting winds even when anchored. With this blanket, you would hardly encounter this problem. The double wind-resistant protection that the sand anchor pockets and ground stakes offer does work most times unless the winds get harsh. When properly anchored, this blanket is unlikely to flip or blow away.

While this blanket is not entirely sand-free, sand doesn’t stick stubbornly on the surface. It gets rid of the collected sand quickly as you brush or shake it off. In the same manner, it is also easy to clean. You can put it on a delicate cycle in the washer and hang dry, and it is ready for use again. Just be mindful not to soak it in water for a very long time.

The POPCHOSE Beach Blanket has enough room for up to seven people. Practically, a family or group of four can sit or lay on it without discomfort.

Compact but Thin

Like many thin beach blankets, this product tends to cause discomfort when the weather gets too hot. You may find yourself having to move around often to avoid the sun. Especially at the beach during summer, you can feel the heat of the sand through the fabric.

The thinness of this blanket is also not appropriate for rough or rocky surfaces. You won’t be comfortable sitting on it for too long unless you use some cushioning material.

Since the POPCHOSE Beach Blanket is thin, it can get punctured and rip on thorny terrains, even though it has triple stitching. You need to handle it with care, especially when folding, unfolding, laying it out, and anchoring it.

Even though, like so many beach blankets, the manufacturer claims or calls it sand-free, it’s not. Sand-phobic perhaps as sand doesn’t stick to it. But sand, or dirt for that matter, can collect on the surface. But it’ll spill right off when the blanket is shaken.

Given that the material is the same as that of a camping tent, this blanket could also use a little more cushioning. It is not as comfortable as an actual blanket, which is soft and cozy.

Conclusion

The POPCHOSE Beach Blanket is a decent choice for families who like having outdoor fun all the time. It can be used at beaches, parks, picnic grounds, and even outdoor event venues. With an attached carry bag and lightweight design, it is convenient to bring anywhere.

Made of triple-stitched parachute ripstop polyester, this blanket is water-resistant and relatively durable, and dries rapidly. It is also easy to clean and machine washable. The only drawback with this material is that it may be too thin for rough surfaces and scorching conditions. You might end up uncomfortable sitting on it for hours during summer at the beach. In the same way, it doesn’t offer that much protection against rocky grounds.

Amid the minor cons, this blanket is a pretty good choice. If you need a blanket that you can use with your family and friends for a long time, it can serve you well.
