Tarpestry
Few things spoil an idyllic outdoor moment faster than sitting on damp ground and ending up with wet clothes. Tarpestry outdoor blankets solve that by using water-resistant materials on both sides, so you stay dry no matter where you spread them. The blankets are simple to clean—just hose them off—and resist mud and stains, making them ideal for picnics, beach days and camping. Designed in collaboration with artists across the United States, Tarpestry offers a range of attractive patterns to match your personal style while keeping outdoor adventures comfortable and low-impact.
