**Designed using the same tech as helicopter landing pads, the Sandlite Blanket isn’t just another beach mat — it’s the first sand-free mat in the world**
Bundling up to the size of a bag of chips and weighing about as much, the Sandlite unfolds in seconds into an oversized beach mat with a specialized weave that lets sand pass through it in only one direction. We’d be lying if we said we understood exactly how it works, but suffice it to say they based the construction on the same tech that keeps helicopters from kicking up dust and sand on their landing pads. And since it’s lightweight and folds up into its built-in carrying bag, you can take it just about anywhere—drop it in your hiking bag and lay back with a celebratory High Life in hand at the summit, or recline on the beach with a cooler full of cold ones next you. Your choice, but either way—it’s guaranteed to be sand-free.
