curve change mat

I received this change mat via a friend who won it as a prize in a contest, which is great cos I don’t review products I receive free. I view that as back scratching not reviewing, now with that clear.
The curve change mat is a great design in its simplicity, its one piece of what appears to be rubberized canvas with a drawstring, so it fits two purposes; a mat and a wet suit bag and with no seams to leak, or corners to fill with sand and no surprise it fits the niche well. It’s easy to clean, just pop the hose in the opening and fill with water, a quick shake and the wetsuit and change mat are clean, hang on the line, and its beer o’clock.
The change mat comes in its own surf magazine sized pouch and once on the ground it is well sized for keeping your wettie outta the sand.
Couple of downside I found was it wanted to blow away in all but the lightest breezes and I was concerned with long term durability when the drawstring appears to be sewn within only a single seam. Time will tell.
So over all it’s entirely well suited to its job, it looks good, protects feet and wetsuits from sharp car park gravel and stops the beach ending up in your car.
With the price halved recently to $49.95 RRP it’s a good deal if you can’t condone the car mat and plastic bin crowd. Me I don’t use it anymore but the flat mate finds it great for getting washing off the line.
