Rubbastuff is the creator and producer of PACMAT: a range of lightweight, waterproof mats and bags designed for outdoor life. Made in Britain and designed in Hackney, East London, PACMATs combine colourful, contemporary designs with practical materials that keep you comfortable whether you are in the park, at a festival, or on a camping trip.
PACMAT is widely regarded as one of the world's lightest picnic mats. Each mat features a soft microfibre polyester top surface that sheds water and dries quickly, paired with a waterproof nylon base. The whole mat packs down into a compact pouch roughly the size of a tin of baked beans, making it easy to slip into a bag and take anywhere. PACMATs are also machine washable and built to last.
Rubbastuff offers PACMAT in a variety of sizes to suit solo adventurers, couples, and families, including Solo, Family, XL, and XXL versions. The range features a wide selection of bold illustrated designs, and some styles use 100% recycled fabric throughout. Rubbastuff has been praised by publications including Vogue, IndyBest, Good Housekeeping, and Mother & Baby for combining practicality with eye-catching style.
Rubbastuff manufactures its PACMAT products in the UK, reflecting a commitment to quality and local production. The company also supports conservation: a portion of revenue from Peak District-themed PACMATs is donated to the Peak District National Park Foundation, helping to fund access and conservation projects that encourage families to spend more time outdoors.
PACMATs are specifically engineered to be as light and compact as possible while remaining fully waterproof. The microfibre top surface is soft underfoot, dries fast, and is easy to clean, while the nylon underside keeps moisture from the ground from soaking through. When packed, the mat fits into a small integrated pouch, making it far more portable than a traditional bulky blanket.
Yes. PACMATs are designed to be machine washable, which makes them practical for regular outdoor use. The materials are chosen to be durable through repeated washing and to resist picking up odours.
The range includes Solo, Family, XL, and XXL sizes, so there is an option whether you are heading out alone or with a large group. Rubbastuff also produces complementary accessories such as bags and thermal patches within the wider product range.
PACMATs are made in Britain. The brand is based in Hackney, East London, and the products are designed and manufactured in the UK.
Several PACMAT styles are made using 100% recycled fabric, incorporating recycled polyester and recycled ripstop nylon. Rubbastuff also donates a percentage of revenue from certain themed designs to conservation organisations such as the Peak District National Park Foundation.
PACMATs are versatile enough for picnics, festivals, beach trips, camping, open-air events, and everyday trips to the park. Their compact pack size means they can be kept in a bag or backpack and pulled out whenever needed, making them a convenient choice for any outdoor activity.
