Swiss Link Classic Wool Picnic Blanket with Waterproof Backing

The Swiss Link Classic Wool Picnic Blanket is an 80% wool blanket built for ground-level use at picnics, campsites, and roadside stops. A waterproof backing faces the ground so the wool side stays dry and comfortable on damp grass, and four corner grommets let you stake the blanket in place when the wind picks up. It measures 68 × 55 inches and weighs 5.7 lb, and is available in five patterns: Dream Season, Arctic Shawl, Royal Stewart, Sky Blue Plaid, and Harbor Dawn.

Wool Where It Counts, Waterproof Where It Touches the Ground

An 80% wool face retains warmth even when the air is cool, making the blanket comfortable to sit on well into the shoulder seasons. Because the waterproof backing is oriented toward the ground rather than the top surface, you get the natural feel and insulation of wool against your legs and clothing rather than a synthetic shell. The result is a blanket that works on wet grass, damp soil, or a dewy tailgate without soaking through to the sitting surface.

Staked Down, Not Blown Away

Corner grommets are a small detail that matters on exposed ground. When a breeze catches a loose blanket mid-picnic, the grommets give you the option to pin the corners with tent stakes or ground anchors rather than weighting them with gear. The 5.7 lb weight already resists casual wind, but the grommets add a positive hold for longer stays or gustier conditions.

Sized for Two, Practical for One

At 68 × 55 inches, the blanket gives two adults comfortable sitting room or one adult room to stretch out. The 5.7 lb weight is substantial enough to lie flat without bunching, which matters on uneven ground. For vehicle-based camping and car-camping day trips, that weight is a non-issue; for backpacking, it is not the right tool.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Classic Wool Picnic Blanket suits car campers, overlanders, and anyone who wants a warm, ground-ready blanket for picnics, tailgates, outdoor events, or campsite lounging on damp or dewy ground. The waterproof backing makes it practical in conditions where a standard wool blanket would soak through from below.

At 5.7 lb, this blanket is not suited for weight-sensitive backpacking or long-carry applications. It is a single blanket, not a sleeping bag or insulated pad, and is not designed to serve as primary overnight bedding in cold conditions.

Common Questions

Which side faces the ground?

The waterproof backing faces the ground. Place the blanket backing-down so the 80% wool surface faces up, keeping the sitting surface dry even on damp grass or soil.

Can the corner grommets be used with standard tent stakes?

The Classic Wool Picnic Blanket has a grommet at each corner designed to accept a stake or anchor. Grommet diameter is not specified; check that your stakes fit before heading out.
