Onesie for an adult male?

Hello, I want to buy OH one of these for Xmas, but there are so many around I wondered if anyone had any recommendations or can suggest brands I should avoid? I (obviously) don't want to spend much but on the other hand I want a decent quality item-would rather spend extra and get better quality.
I will probably be buying it online as we don't have many large shops around here.
Thanks.

    The best range I`ve come across is in Primark for £12.

    What are they for?

    I saw some in Burton's yesterday and half expected them to have a flap in the backside. They didn't.

    Thanks for your responses-I shall have a look. Gloom-they are for keeping warm & cosy in (our house is fairly cool).

    I thought they were pyjamas or retro underwear or something. I can't think of a less practical garment for general wear.

    They may be currently fashionable but I think I would rather be cold than wear an oversized babygrow.

    Whatever next? Adult nappies?

    I thought they were pyjamas too,hence being in the nightware section.

    Nobody needs a onesie to be warm in a house fgs:rotfl:

    Is he housebound or limited in mobility and you are looking for warm nightwear? I know it can be hard to keep warm at home if you are not as active as you used to be. Something like damart would probably be better than a onesie or maybe old fashioned long johns would be better for him.

    I know that when my granny was being cared for at home keeping warm was an issue and we looked at onesie type garments but were concerned that toileting someone in a onesie would be hard for a carer but the fleece does wash well. My granny had a sort of fleece over the neck blanket- would something like that be better? It kept her quite warm but also it was easy to get on and off her. They are quite popular in the USA for older people- made by the same kind of companies that make onesies.
