Meet the Best Blanket Mats for Sports Events, Concerts, and Picnics

If it's after school hours, I'm usually running from one event to another for my kids. If I'm going to be outside, I've got a giant bag full of stuff that I'll need or my kids will need. One of the items I always carry around is an old blanket to keep us comfy if we are sitting on the ground.
You know the type of blanket I'm talking about: those faded, frayed-at-the-edges blankets that have seen way too many seasons. But when that old blanket just wasn't cutting it anymore, I discovered Rumpl, and my outdoor game changed for the better.
I swear by the Rumpl Backcountry Puffy Blanket and the Rumpl Everywhere Mat. Whether you're headed to a sports event, a music festival, or just a casual picnic, these two are game changers. Let me break down why you'll want to ditch your old blanket and towels and never look back.
Here's Why I'm Ditching Regular Blankets
Not only do the Rumpl blankets and mats look cool (I'm obsessed with the beachy vibe!), but after using them a few times, they've proved they're worthy of a spot in my mom bag.
Regular blankets are heavy, absorb everything, and are frankly just not cut out for the rough and tumble life of outdoor sports events and concerts. Rumpl mats are durable, weatherproof, and way easier to transport. So, I ditched those old blankets and began bringing the Rumpls with me instead.

Features
Rumpl Backcountry Puffy Blanket: First, I love that it's water-resistant, so if there's an unexpected drizzle or downpour (which happens a lot during cross country season), you don't have to worry about this blanket being soaked for days. It's also filled with a lightweight, eco-friendly insulation that feels like you're wrapping yourself in a cloud.
I'm also impressed with the color options available. This one is designed for ultimate warmth and portability — perfect for camping or any outdoor adventure. Made from recycled materials with durable, weather-resistant features, it packs down small and offers cozy comfort while reducing your carbon footprint.
Rumpl Everywhere Mat: This mat is truly the MVP. It's made from waterproof material, so whether the ground is wet or muddy, you'll stay dry. The Stash Mat is a pocket that hides under the mat and is a great place to stash your items you don't want sitting out, like your phone or your wallet.
While not completely secure, if you don't want to hold those items, I like the option to put them in a hidden compartment. It's also got a non-slip bottom, which keeps it from sliding all over the place when people sit down. The best part? It's super easy to clean. Just wipe it down!
Both fold down into compact sizes, so they're a breeze to carry. When trying to fold my old blankets, I'd end up with a giant, awkward bundle that took up way too much space. But the Rumpl versions? They fit neatly into their little stuff sacks and barely take up any room in the trunk.
Pros
- Durability: Both are made to last. They can handle the wear and tear of being tossed on the ground repeatedly and then tossed into the back of my car and still look brand new.
- Water-resistant and easy to clean: Say goodbye to the soggy, stained mess that comes with regular blankets. I love how I can just wipe the Everywhere Mat clean and never have to worry about muddy paws or spilled drinks soaking through.
- Compact and easy to carry: I used to struggle with carrying multiple blankets and towels. Now, I toss these in my bag and I'm good to go.
- Style: Let's be honest — half the fun of outdoor gear is how it looks. The beachy vibe makes them stand out.
Cons
- Not super plush: The Backcountry Puffy Blanket might not be quite as plush as some of your thicker blankets. It's lightweight, which is awesome for portability, but if you're someone who loves a super thick, cushy blanket, this might feel a little thin.
Bottom Line
The Rumpl Backcountry Puffy Blanket and the Rumpl Everywhere Mat have totally upgraded how I do outdoor events. From cross-country meets to concerts, they're durable, stylish and easy to clean.
If you've got plans to be outside and need a place to park it, ditch those old blankets and snag one of these instead!
