We have a gazebo by our pool with a bunch of seating and a firepit. We love sitting out there at night in the summer, but it can get a bit chilly sometimes even with the firepit. This blanket is perfect for those times or when the kids want to warm up after swimming on a cooler day. I love that I can leave it outside without worrying about it being exposed to the elements a bit. It’s so soft and thick and dries super quick if it gets wet. Really nice quality that looks like it will last.
