It's a blanket with sleeves. My mom sent me one. I don't really get it. Once I got it on, it's a robe, with lots of extra material around the neck. And not enough to go over the legs when sitting in a rocking chair. I'm not seeing the improvement over a normal blanket and robe.

I can help warm it up in there.I can generate a lot of body heat.

I've seen those. I wasn't sure of the point either. Maybe they keep you warmer?

If it doesn't cover your legs then I really don't see the point. It is full body. When standing up. As soon as you sit in a chair, the parts over the legs won't cover the front of the legs anymore.

Ah, I see. well, you'll have to grab another blanket, and then you'll be really cozy.

The sleeves are HUGE. Maybe they're supposed to be legs and I'm supposed to wrap the rest around my torso?

I saw those on TV and thought that might be cool if it was kinda chilly and you were smoking a hooter and drinking a cup of cocoa. but they looked kinda thin (the ones on TV) and didnt look like they would be very warm

They're trying to make them out to be such a neat, new thing, when in fact, they've been around for about 50 years. My mom had a couple.

I'd never use one. What if gangsters kicked in the door, guns blazing while I'm asleep? I need a free hand to work the gravity knife.
