The material is soft, the colours are beautiful. The size is perfect. It would have scored 5/5 if only it had anchor points, either loops for pegs or pockets for sand/stones to weigh it down on the beach for example . This is its only (in my opinion) downfall as the blanket is so lightweight it lifts in the slightest of winds. I have attached my own loops and bought tent pegs to avoid this. There are other products out there that have this feature but they cost more. I feel dock and bay is reasonably priced. The weight when folded is lightweight and the bottom waterproof layer kept us dry on damp grass.
