Colour-in Picnic Blanket
One for the kids when you want to
focus on the polo, this is sure to add a
splash of colour to any summer picnic.
British company Eggnog has devised
this 145cm square blanket which
picnickers can colour to their heart’s
content. Rolling up into an easy-to-
carry bag, Eggnog has even thrown in a
set of fabric pens that wash out for
multiple uses. At the end of the day
you will have been able to follow the
game uninterrupted and can head
home with a personalised rug, hand
detailed by your very own free-range
kids. It is available in British landmarks
and picnic foods designs.

London Collection Solar
Backpack by BirkSun
Although solar backpacks have been
around for a while, they’ve lived life in
the shadows, shunned for their bad
looks and erratic temperament. That is
until now. BirkSun has shrugged off its
nerdy older brothers’ poor taste in
fashion with a range of products that

G UA R D S P O LO C LU B
boast cutting-edge urban design
sensibilities along with new lightweight
and, crucially, waterproof technology,
backed by a year’s warranty. Power comes
in the form of a USB outlet, ideal for
charging phones or cameras. The only
downside is that it ships from the States,
a cost included in the quoted price.
