XL Waterproof Windproof Fleece Stadium Blanket - Perfect for Outdoor Use by SuitedNomad

happykat: I just bought this blanket and opened it today. While very warm there is a strong chemical odor coming off the blanket that is giving me a huge headache. The blanket also has tiny pieces of grit coming off the black side (not the soft side (I have no idea what it is.) The manufacture recommends hand washing this blanket with a wash cloth but I honestly don't think the smell will vent off. This would make a great emergency blanket if you had no sense of smell. I am contemplating returning this blanket because of the strong chemical odor wafting off this blanket. I'm going to hang it in my guest room in hope some of the chemical smell off gases.

Update: I left this blanket out for two days to air out and most of the strong chemical odor dissipated. I'll snuggle with it today to see if I get a headache.

Alysia R Chatman: This blanket was just what I needed for a football game in Colorado. Warm enough to block the wind.Soft enough to sit on. Wipes clean if something spills.

Allen Goderre: Arrived on time without incident. Very well made. Worked as advertised. Worked great as added comfort and moisture barrier between me and the ground on a recent sectional hike. Oh, and surprisingly light weight, which on a hike is definitely important!

Rider Fan: This arrived when it was supposed to. It is a nice big blanket, kept out the wind at our grandson’s baseball game. It rolled up well and easy to get back into the bag. My only complaint is that the flannel side and the windbreaker/waterproof side are only joined around the edges of the blanket, it would be nice if they had been sewn together throughout the whole blanket.

Alexandra L'esperance: Really waterproof, don't let any moisture through.
You wont be disapointed, no mess.
The soft side, make the whole experience even better, you won't feel the wetness, only the warmth <3

Jen: I bought this blanket to cover my legs, when I am in my wheelchair during the spring, winter and fall. I needed something the wind, rain and snow would not go through. The thermal reflective inner layer is great for reflecting body heat back to the wearer, it made a big difference. So much so, that I found, I could not use the blanket indoors. This blanket made winter much more enjoyable this year!

It even came with a strap to keep the blanket rolled-up and a bag to keep it clean between uses. When it gets dirty, toss it in the washer. It washes easily. This has definitely been one of my best purchases. ☺️

KJAKJA: This is really a nice blanket that can be useful in many indoor and outdoor situations. I have only had it for a short time so far and have had several family members check out the blanket for their feedback as well during this time.

My wife, daughter and myself all came to the same conclusions:

Very warm
Fleece side is really comfortable
Well made (appears to be heavy duty)
Seems to be a little weighted (in a good way)
Does not make much noise
Blocks the wind.

My daughter commented to me "Dude, this blanket is really warm!"

Have not tested the waterproofness, so can't comment on that but it certainly looks like it would do the job.

The storage bag and strap are nice. I had no trouble putting blanket back in bag as a few reviewers mentioned they did. Just take note on how you initially took blanket out of the bag and fold and roll the same way (pretty easy to figure out). Having additional handle on end of storage bag would be nice for removing blanket from bag, but that is minor.

We have several outdoor blankets that we keep in our cars and this one is now our new favorite. Overall, perfect for watching kids outdoor...

Ken Aldrich: Nice blanket. It's got a little heft, so it's not going to just flap around in a light breeze at the ball game. Or easily blow away if using as a picnic blanket.
The fleece is light to medium weight and has a nice fluffy feel. The fleece layer attaches to the shell layer around the edges, but you can gather it up and wrap it around you a little inside the shell.
The shell sheds off waters and doesn't leak around the seams. So the inside layer still stays dry even as water runs off the outer seam.
This blanket provides more warmth than my straight up medium weight fleece blanket. There must be some kind of thermal layer inside the waterproof shell that retains heat.
Its large enough to spread out and eat a picnic on. Also large enough for my wife and I to cuddle under and keep warm.
I didn't notice any "static" like previous reviewer. Right out of the box, they waterproof layer side isn't silent. It sounds like some kind of nylon. Its not "crinkly" sounding. Think more along the lines of a waterproof nylon rain coat shell.
