When most people think of picnic blankets, they picture a plaid blanket spread over the green grass of a peaceful field. They also picture the blanket having to be carried folded into quarters, with the edges snagging on every branch they must walk past to reach their site. After the picnic, they also have images of the blanket being full of grass, leaves and twigs and being wadded up to be tossed into the trunk of the car.
Older picnic blankets have always been known to soak up water and to be hard to clean. They have to be washed and will start to smell if left in the car for too long. With the newer blankets on the market, this is not always the case. New blankets have a back lining of plastic that prevents moisture from soaking into the blanket from the ground. They also have a built-in carrying case that allows the users to quickly and efficiently roll or fold the blanket for storage and transportation.
