Anyone Here Got A Slanket?

Hi

I'm hoping to buy a slanket but a friend has told me that the one they had seen fastened at the back (like wearing a dressing gown back to front) - is that right ? (I presumed you put them on over your head like a poncho)

Cheers

    They do not have any fastenings.

    They are open in the front or back. (Depending which way you put it on.)
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Ive got a Snuggie too, for xmas. I thought it would be longer lol, so bit disappointed with that but its nice. The arm holes are so far apart sometimes I put it on back to front lol. Theres no fastenings and it only has a little blanket extra at the top to go over your shoulders but not a great deal extra. Still, I like it.

    I put mine on like a dressing gown as I hate stuff against my neck. A slanket is definitely worth the money, they're much warmer and more luxurious than the cheaper versions. Only problem is I'm always tripping up over mine; I'm 5'5 but they make them to accommodate a 6'4 man if needed. I could have done with a kiddies one but not sure they do them!

    Jenniewb- mine came from Amazon and they also do them on the Firebox site.

    great product, terrible name. my apologies for using the term but it sounds too much like an abbreviation for "!!!!!! blanket" i'm afraid.

    As irritating as the words "Jedward" and "SuBo" which are constructed in a similar fashion.

    By the way, "SuBo could just as well have been coined as a military term for "Suicide Bomber" :money:
