New from the Grand Trunk, the multi-purpose Parasheet is perfect for use on the beach, picnicking, and camping. This portable piece of parachute nylon comes with grommets and bottom sand pockets, so you can secure your blanket in place. The Parasheet also comes with a built-in stuff sack for easy transportation. Plus it stays cool on those hot summer days; just throw it in your beach bag and off you go. No more heavy towels to weigh you down and a lot less of a mess.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Grand Trunk Parasheet is available through Altrec.com.

WOW!
Whoever came up with this beach blanket was SMART! It's by far the most versatile, well designed, compact beach blanket I have ever owned. I have also used it for a picnic table cover, backseat of my car seat cover and sun shade. AWESOME!

Grand Trunk Parasheet Pros and Cons
Pros: lightweight, packable, 7 foot by 7 foot size good for two beach towels (cannot use with three), great stitching and quality, ripstop nylon is high grade, nice colors, can be used as DIY hammock for those with suspension knowledge, built in sand pockets and eye loops on each corner. Cons: material is so lightweight that it must have ground anchors (e.g tent stakes) or sand at corners without exception. Material will absorb suntan lotion and oils which cannot wash out. Suntan/baby oil in material is very visible. No grommets, only cloth loops at four corner, question if strong wind under parasheet will tear corner loop. Could use eye loops in center of each side for additional staking options.
