Exploring Dartmoor -

Dartmoor, an old favourite of ours. In fact, it's where we came up with the idea of PACMAT. It was a hot day, so the first stop was a walk and dip in the River Dart.

Here are some snippets from their PACMAT Patch review. Read the whole review here. "A clever fusion of a soft picnic blanket top layer with a waterproof tarp under layer." "I can imagine all sorts of outdoor moments (including ones with dogs, babies and maybe small hedgehogs) for which a PACMAT might come in useful and think they would make a great Christmas present for the outdoorsy person in your life."
