A WIWIGO field note
Nylon vs. Polyester Beach Blankets: Which WIWIGO Line Is for You?
We make two families of sandproof blankets. They share the pockets, stakes and bag — here is where they differ.
Classic nylon
The fabric WIWIGO started with. Thin, strong and very light, it folds smaller than anything else we make and dries fastest after a swim.
It comes in 79″ × 83″, 79″ × 108″ and 120″ × 108″, and carries more than 6,700 buyer reviews at an average of 4.5 stars.
Printed polyester
A slightly heavier, softer-feeling fabric that holds fine artwork well — watercolor turtles, detailed florals, lace mandalas.
It comes in 79″ × 83″, 79″ × 110″ and 108″ × 120″ and averages 4.6 stars.
Which should you pick?
Choose nylon if weight and packed size matter most: hiking, travel, carrying the blanket every day.
Choose polyester if you want the most detailed print and a softer feel for long lounging.
Both shed sand, both resist water, both machine wash cold.
