No more soggy clothing!  NO nasty chemical smells.
My youngest loves to have &#34;picnic lunches&#34;. Due to his allergies and severe asthma, we have been forced to take a sheet to sit on. All of the plastic backed, water resistant mats we have found have toxic chemicals in them. This of course means that many times we have finished eating and had damp clothing. This outdoor picnic mat was listed as being non-chlorinated and made with a PVC-free formula. I ordered and waited for delivery with fingers crossed. that it was as good as described. And it was!<br /><br />When this outdoor picnic mat arrived, the first thing I checked for was chemical smells. I could not smell anything!  Next I opened the mat and was surprised at how large it was. At nearly 6 feet long, this picnic blanket/mat is large enough to an entire family to enjoy a meal outside together. I also found a flat blow up pillow that was tucked neatly into the folded mat. I took this outside early to see how well it would hold up to a damp ground. I walked over most of it and left it outside for over an hour. I brought it back in before the sun could cry up anything. The fabric side was completely dry! The &#34;plastic&#34; side was visibly wet. I hung it up on the clothes line and it dried in no time. The next test was how well this would fold back up. A few accordion type folds, and then a few flips, and the velcro matched up and it was secure to carry! Photo #3 shows the picnic mat folded back up after we used it to sit under the stars last night!<br /><br />Okay, so the final test was how well my son liked this. I surprised this weekend with a picnic lunch in the front yard. He was super excited and absolutely loves this picnic blanket as much as I do! We will be having regular picnics in our future!<br /><br />I would highly recommend this for those who deal with allergies and/or asthma. Or if you are simply trying to avoid exposure to toxic chemicals. The quality of this blanket can not be shown well in the pictures. The &#34;plastic&#34; backing is much more durable then what I expected. And the fabric side is smooth and soft. If you are not a picnic person, this would be a perfect &#34;beach blanket&#34; as well!<br /><br />I purchased this at a discount in exchange for an honest review of the product. I am selective in what I review, and I will always give an honest opinion.
