Canvas Windbreaker

by

Knowing how much time we spend on the beach, the lovely people over at EcoFriendlyBag have recently sent me a stunning canvas windbreaker to review.

It really is quite gorgeous and far nicer than the other options that I've either seen on display on the beach or in the shops! All too often they are made of horrible nylon, more akin to an old woman's shopping bag on wheels. Not this one, it is bright, colourful, attractive and made from 100% environmentally friendly cotton material. When we'd toddled off to have a splash in the sea, it was also very distinctive on the beach. The material works just as well as the manmade fibres at blocking out the wind, and allows for the added bonus of being able to go in the washing machine!

I was able to press the poles in with minimal force. Possibly, I was a little too forceful at first as the whole thing fell over. In my defense, I'd like to add that I've never put a windbreak up before, let alone whilst watching an almost 2yr old not fall over in the sand. Having picked it up along with my dignity, the windbreaker was in the ground within a minute or two, and before The Boy had got his foot stuck in the bucket for the second time. At the top of each pole is a hook to loop the canvas onto it, and the whole thing rolls up into a nifty carrycase which has a decent-sized shoulder strap.

    I also love the Storage bins but equally love the wind breaker because I know how shockingly bad the "normal" ones can be. (especially as we like to use a windbreak when camping too)

    The garden bum bag: it might help my newly-found gardening skills, which is to say it might help me try and keep things alive, which is a better description of my gardening skills.

  45. Lowie789 says

    The windbreaker looks perfect for summer days on the beach. Quite like the idea of the gardening bum bag too – I'm always putting tools down in the garden and forgetting where!

    I've tweeted too.
