Product Description
CGEAR: Gear That Lasts A Decade
First Of Its Kind: Our sand-free mats are the first of their kind. Originally used for military helicopters to land on in desert warzones, our innovative mats are made to last through wear and tear while looking brand new. Sand, Dust, and Dirt Falls Right Through: Constructed with layers of high-density weaving, sand, dirt, and debris easily filter through without coming back up, eliminating a dusty environment. Polyethylene keeps sand from sticking to the surface even when it's wet outside while its UV stabilized design keeps its vibrant look from fading. Lay out at the park with your family on a grassy or sandy terrain and protect the environment with its permeable, windproof surface allowing wind and sunlight to pass right through. Built To Last Through Any and Every Adventure: Originally designed for military use, our beach mats can hold up against any climate and every adventure. Double-reinforced D-ring corners allow you to stake down your pad during windy or extreme conditions, so you and your family can safely camp out. And if wet sand sticks to the surface, simply wipe it off with the swipe of your hand. A Contemporary, Multi-Use Mat: A modern, reversible design, take our versatile Original mats anywhere. Soak up the sun at the beach or on the lake or use it for camping and backpacking through the trails. Our small through x-large sizes can fit from 3 to 14 people. Its compact design comes with a portable drawstring bag, so you can easily tote it anywhere. CGEAR Is Taking Sustainability To The Next Level: As outdoors wanderers and adventure enthusiasts, we know how much it means to you to invest in essentials that are tough, functional, and easy on Mother Nature. That's why our CGEAR mats collection is made using military-grade technology and employs sand-free construction, making it the only camping mat you’ll need…ever. So make your next adventure worthwhile with our iconic Original mat in tow. Life’s never been better.

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023
After we had regrouped (got smart), we decided to bring our car onto the beach and parked it next to us, with our belongings in the trunk, right on the beach. I placed this mat right on the sand next to the rear bumper of our 4runner so that when people came up to the trunk of the car to get their, drinks, snacks, towels, change song, put on more sunscreen, etc, they were able to wipe off their feet of sand and dry off with a clean towel. This allowed us to keep a sand free barrier around the congregation area at the car! I noticed that everyone with us on the beach that day, loved the mat and found themselves sitting and standing on it rather than the shallow area of the water. It kept us all cleaner and gave us a break from the sticky sand when we needed it.
Now the bad news. I got several globules of beach tar onto the mat and have to figure out a way to get it off of the mat. It looks like there are three layers of plastic weave that it got into that I need to clean off. I am going to try some WD-40 to work it's way off of the mat. I also noticed that the metal rings to stake the mat down got rusted. So I will need to clean them of the rust and protect them with a coat of clear coat of paint so that they do not rust in the future.
I did not use tie downs and was in 10+ MPH winds the entire week. This was not an issue with how heavy the blanket is.
ONE minor issue: the cord that closes the bag doubles as a shoulder strap. This came out on its first use. Not a huge deal though as the closure still worked fine. I am so happy with the product itself that I will not complain about the bag at all. It is just something to be aware of. For folks that toss this in a cart, this won't make or break the deal. For those that want to use this as a strap, just loop the remaining cord over your shoulder and it works fine.
All-in-all, I cannot recommend this enough. Once I was done with my week of use, I hosed this down and was able to remove any few sand remnants that were left (hardly any).
I was so happy to take it camping. Looking forward to a beach day!
