Bought my first rashguard around 2016 & it is just now starting to breakdown. BUT that is my fault for putting it in the washer & dryer. Truly believe had it not been put through the machines it would last a few more years

This beach blanket was larger than I thought it would be. Easy to place & stake in sand, kept us cool on hot beach days. The sand we did get on it (it's almost impossible to not get sand on any beach blanket) just fell right off when we packed up...

Such a hit when we’re at the beach! Not everyone wants to stay in the water or on a pier all day. Having some games or activities is a great idea. *These are thicker than regular cards due to being waterproof*
