MELBOURNE, Australia, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Australian company CGear introduces its CGear Sand-Free Multimat in the United States today at Sports Chalet stores and www.cgear-sandfree.com. With a patented dual layer technology, the CGear Sand-Free Multimat allows sand and dirt to fall through to the ground but not come back up on the mat. Currently being used by militaries worldwide as a helicopter landing pad, the mat is now available in the U.S. for recreational use.

While blankets and tarps are vulnerable to sand, dirt and dust in an outdoor environment, which can then be brought inside, the Multimat's dual layer weave technology causes foreign particles to fall through its top surface to the ground, creating a clean, comfortable outdoor area. Uses include:

• Camping/RV sites: Outside a tent or RV, the Multimat minimizes sand, dirt and dust outside and in. Constructed with reinforced edges and rip stop technology, the mat will not rip underneath furniture or equipment.
• Beach lounging: The perfect "base layer" for a day at the beach, placing a towel over the Multimat creates a more comfortable environment.
• Beach yoga: Placing a yoga mat on top of the Multimat allows for outdoor practice without the annoyance of sand.
• Triathlon races: A transition area with the Multimat makes it possible to go from wet to dry events without sand-filled sneakers or dirt-covered bike shorts.

Liquid spills go through the Multimat and are easily wiped clean; the non-absorbent material eliminates rot or mold damage. The CGear Sand-Free Multimat is available in three sizes - 6ft. x 6ft., $49.99; 8ft. x 8ft., $59.99; 10ft. x 10ft., $74.99 - and two colorways (blue/green and orange/tan). Each lightweight CGear Sand-Free Multimat (the 10ft. x 10ft. mat is only 8.5 lbs.) comes with a carry bag.

About CGear: CGear Sand-Free Multimat was established in May 2003 and holds patents that cover the dual layer weave technology that allows dirt and sand to pass through the mat to the ground but not come back up on top. With continual research and development, CGear introduced products for use by the military and the outdoor recreational markets.
