YETI Lowlands Blanket, Multi-Use Blanket with Travel Bag

tough
like all Yeti products, expensive but very well made and tough. We have 4 huskies who are pretty hard on just about….everything and so far they have not destroyed this blanket. As a bonus removing shedded hair is also pretty easy. Use it for covering the back seat of the SUV we use to haul the huskers around.

My ‘Bougie Blanket’
My friends call it my ‘bougie blanket’. It does exactly what it should, is comfortable and feels nice AND is machine washable!

Worth It. Honestly.
Listen, I get it. It’s a $200 blanket. How could it possibly be worth it?I had been searching for the better part of a year for the perfect picnic/camping blanket and had ordered and returned 3 different brands before I finally decided to give Yeti’s crazy expensive product a try. Here’s how it stacks up against the competitors.- The fabric on the “blanket” side is superior in every way. It is soft and comfortable, but durable. It’s more or less waterproof itself, and wicks away moisture when someone spills on it. It stays clean, and everything from dirt to dog hair is easily brushed away. I don’t know what magic fabric they chose for this side of the blanket, but it’s perfect. Oh something stained it? No sweat. Spot treat the stain and throw the whole thing in the wash. Boom.- The waterproof cloth on the underside of the blanket is a miracle. It’s pliable like the blanket fabric and seems to be woven out of some ingenious tech material that feels simultaneously thick and impenetrable yet also loose and flexible. It makes the entire product feel like a single, solid heavyweight unit instead of two incompatible materials bolted together. Many competitors felt like a tarp and a cheap felt blanket poorly sewn at the edges…see below.- It seems obvious that when combining the two materials you would want them to feel like one cohesive blanket, but all the other budget options struggled to achieve this. The fabric part of their blankets would separate from the waterproof part and you would end up with a jumbled mess. The Yeti blanket has stitched together the fabric and waterproofing sides across the entire body of the blanket. You can see this stitching on the diamond thread patterns across the fabric side. They keep the product feeling sturdy and durable. No jumbled messes here.- The carrying case is wonderful. It’s made out of what feels like the same material as the waterproof side of the blanket and has a great strap that is easy to sling over your should when carrying it to the park. The zipper opens the bag WIDE which makes fitting it in easy. There might be a correct way to fold the blanket but I never have to worry about it. Just get it folded or rolled to the length of the bag and stuff it in. There’s plenty of room.I might be able to go on about this but I’ll stop there. This is the perfect picnic blanket. Period. If you are a bougie idiot like me who can afford to spend $200 on a blanket, don’t skimp. It’s actually worth it.

Perfect picnic blanket
Everything I needed in a picnic blanket – comfortable, spill proof, doesn’t soak through the top if the ground is a little wet, easy to fold up and carry, washable. Super worth it!

Totally worth the price that YETI charges for this blanket. I set up the dog on this blanket with her water bowl when we camp or picnic. She is not a dainty drinker, and the water rolls right off the blanket. As long as the dirt under the blanket isn’t wet, you can just brush it off, but can throw it in the wash when it does get dirty. Plus the storage bag is appropriately sized so that you don’t have to have follow origami instructions to fold the blanket back up so that it fits in the storage bag. Wish YETI could make these blankets larger so they could be used for an outdoor carpet – with loops on the corners so it can be spiked down. That would be amazing.

Great blanket and absolutely perfect for the cool nights on the lake.
