About this piece

Around camp, on the beach, or at a summer concert, the Why Not Picnic Blanket sets up the vibe. This durable blanket is perfect for ground coverage wherever you need it, with synthetic Fireline™ Eco insulation providing insulation and cushion from the cold hard ground. Grab the carry handle on the attached stuff sack, or use the stuff sack as a hidden pocket when the blanket is deployed. Relax on the soft, recycled top fabric while the durable bottom fabric with waterproof coating keeps you lounging dry and comfy.

About the artist

Bill Gamber named the company after a peak near Steamboat Springs where he spent countless nights camping.

Big Agnes now designs everything from sub-2-pound ultralight tents to car camping palaces, all from their Steamboat headquarters at 6,700 feet.
