CGEARSand Free Rug

This product really works and does all that it claims. I can't believe that this product isn't more widely known about.As in the claims, the sand really does simply drop through the rug with a little light patting around it and only goes one way, nothing returns upwards.Key benefit of this is that at the end of the day on the beach, with having sun lotion on you, etc, there is only a fraction of the usual amount of sand stuck to your body making the showering process much easier on the return home.Highly recommended and does all that is expected of it!!

We bought one of these after seeing it on a beach in Devon, so were surprised to see the negative review. It works brilliantly – it isn’t soft but was fine to lie on without a towel, which meant we could let our towels dry off after using them rather than lying on damp towels. It kept us and our towels sand free all day. It isn’t lightweight, but definitely worth carrying to the beach!

I can rave about this enough! Ah the other jealous sun bathers! Kids and I stepped in to this caked in wet sand on the beach after burying each other in the sand and within 3 mins of rubbing the mat the mat was clear and fresh again! Oh it's brilliant! Love this product!

Blown away. Used this on the beach as just back from holiday. Excellent product. Only tiny downside is its a little heavy but really much much better than having towels or other beach/picnic mats.

"So glad I bought this”. A friend recommended I buy one of these and I am so pleased I did, it's brilliant.

Le sable ne passe pas vraiment à travers. Très déçue. L'avantage c'est qu'il est facile d'enlever le surplus de sable contrairement à une serviette classique qui doit passer à la machine à laver.

I've upgraded our beach gear and added this to the mix and it worked like a charm! It stayed in place despite the heavy wind on a typical SF beach. Kept our surface area Sand free which I never thought I'd ever be saying! The sand easily sifted through for us. I'm guessing if you happen to get moist or wet sand caught in it either let it dry or hose it down and gently brush it off, it seems sturdy enough to handle light brushing for a bit of a deep clean if your obsessive compulsive and can't wait for it to totally dry off. We weren't bothered by its mesh like composition, it felt like a straw mat if you are familiar with those kinds of mats. Color is lovely performance is wonderful!

Purchased this thinking it would replace my parasheet beach blanket that I've bought from amazon 4 years ago. It wasn't cheap either. Nothing wrong with it; to this day it's still in one piece. I wanted to try this out so I got it at Amazon & I finally used it at the Jersey Shore beach yesterday for more than 3 hours. It was bulkier & heavier to carry in an already packed & heavy backpack compared to the parasheet so it's not off to a good start. It didn't come with some kind of a carrying bag or straps. Laid it out far from the water & was delighted to see that the wind didn't move it. Left it at the beach along with the rest of my belongings & hit the water. Got back laid on it, obviously by now had accumulated both dry & mostly wet sand. The dry sand, let alone the wet sand, didn't really sift through the mesh material. Had to brush it off with my hand which wasn't bad. By late afternoon the waves got stronger. As far & as up high where I was setup, the seawater got to the mat & it got soaked. I figure no problem, the wet sand will sift through the mesh material. Went ahead with my beach business & laid back on the mat with no issues; brushed off any wet sand that landed on top of it. The wet sand didn't bubble up to the top layer of the mat. The real problem was when I was breaking down for the day. As I packed up my stuff & when it came time to folding this mat, I was surprised it got heavy! It turns out that a good amount of wet sand got caught in between the layers of mesh & no matter how hard I try, it would not sift through. I end up bringing it (heavy with the wet sand) to the water & rinse it a few times there between the waves so as not to accumulate more wet sand. Finally got most of the sand out but still felt heavier than I remember carrying it on the way in. At the rinsing station by the boardwalk, I further rinsed it more to get more of the wet sand out, used my bungie mesh net to secure it to my backpack to let it air dry on the commute home. Got home & as I was about to fold it for storage/re-use, more sand fell on the floor. Pissed, I end up running it through the shower to make sure all the sand was out. Air dry for the last time then stored it the next morning.Will I bring it again to my next beach trip? No.Would I have return or sell it if I had the chance & get my money back? Yes.I'm sticking back to my parasheet beach mat which is double the size & easily rinse at the beach & it comes with its own pouch. I'll probably repurpose this mat for something else.

I ordered the large size and it is pretty roomy. I also ordered the blue and the colors look great out in the sun. I felt pretty cool and posh on the beach whipping out my pretty blue beach mat from my matching blue beach bag! But I took one star away because it's a bit harder to get the sand off the mat than advertised; you have to pat and and shake the sand through, it doesn't just fall through. Wet sand is even harder. But I still love this mat.

Very nice but heavy. When you are already taking chairs and such to the beach this heavy blanket can be a bit much. Also because it is a stiffer fabric it doesn't fold up small. I am still happy with the purchase though because it works just as advertised.
