Coleman All Outdoors 3-In-1 Blanket Roadtrip (Colors May Vary)

I had the neat sheet before and it was sold out so I bought this. I live in Chicago and we go to many events every year in the parks where you need a blanket, and this one is perfect. It's not as big as the neat sheet, but it is more water repellent, and if it starts raining or gets cold, makes a great blanket or poncho as well. My husband and I hovered under it during a rainstorm watching the Blues Brothers in a park! I may get another one so that we both have a poncho in case of rain.

if it's cold and raining at a sports event - you'll stay warm and dry

This was a great purchase! I used it for several days on an outdoor camping trip, it rolled up well to fit on the front of my backpack and kept us dry when sitting on the ground. I also used it as a parka during a storm, it was warm and dry.

I did have an issue the first time that I washed it, after returning from my trip. I followed the label instructions and the inside pouch came unglued. I returned the item without a problem, but I don't think I would ever put it in the dryer again. Other than that, the price was right and it is a great item that will definitely be going on all of my camping trips.

When unfolded, this blanket is larger than I realized. Definitely big enough for two to sit on for a picnic. It's not very thick, I'd recommend bringing another blanket to put on top if it's convenient, but the waterproof backing is SO useful! The poncho is useful as well, especially since it's fleece-lined. I'm not sure how often owners would use the "stadium seat", but the other two uses are enough for me.

I ordered this based on the great reviews. Liked the blanket in person and how it converts to a poncho and stadium seat. But there is one big flaw. In the blanket mode there is a opening in the middle attached with small bits of velcro. The velcro barely holds the opening together and is scratchy making this a major design flaw. Since I plan to use it primarily as a blanket I am disappointed. Not worth the return shipping hassle so I will keep it. But Coleman should fix this. Anyone have a fix?
