Slanket - The new Fad?

So I’ve been doing some research, always a good thing when out buying something online, and I found out that there are two products out there that are pretty much advertised as identical.

You have the Snuggie, many of them being sold for $20/pair and you have the slanket when can cost as much as $50 each. I’m wondering what sort of quality difference there is between the two product..

Here is a video I found from the Slanket inventor.

Slankets are definitely poised to be a threat to the conventional blankets that we know and use so much. Our conventional sheet blankets have served us long enough, but now it is time for them to retire! No, seriously, these blankets have always been difficult to use but we kept on with them because we had no choice. There were so many times when these blankets would slide and slip over our bodies exposing our body to the cold and we had to tuck them in properly again. And whoever has done anything decent with his or her hands with a blanket wrapped around them?

Thankfully, a great alternative to blankets is here – the slankets. If you think about it, slankets are just modified blankets but it is the modification that makes the difference. These are blankets that have sleeves! You can put your hands through these sleeves and go about your tasks. It is just like a huge robe that is also a blanket. The best part is that you do not need to only sit down or lie down as you have to do when you are using blankets. The robe like design of the slankets makes it possible for the wearer to even move about in the house. Unlike the blankets, the slankets can be used in the normal workday and not just in the evenings and nights when you are lounging in the sofa or sleeping in your bed.

The slankets use only natural fleece which makes them all soft and cushiony. Most blankets use synthetic materials today which can be actually bad for the skin, but slankets are all natural. They provide a soft insulated feel that keeps you energetic for longer. The fibers are actually microfibers that are woven so intricately that all they give your body is a smooth touch as you put them on you. Also, there will be no pilling or bunching of these fibers because they are woven in such a manner.

Slankets can be used by both men and women, they are made in one size that fits all. The size is 60″ x 95″. But there is a wide range of colors including apricot, Alaskan blue, lavender, beige, moss green, ruby wine, hunter green, Limoges, castle rock, chocolate and Texas tea. All colors are popular, especially the chocolate, which is one of the colors that always sold out in advance when the holiday season approaches.

There is also the slanket for kids which is made in a smaller size but has all the facilities needed. The size here is 44″ x 66″ and colors such as hunter green and ruby wine are available.

The high quality and designing that goes into the slankets makes them a premier product. The adult slankets are priced at $44.95 and the kids’ slankets are priced at $29.95. These are lightweight blankets that can be easily worn around the house without feeling tied down. The shipping weight is heavier because of the packaging that comes with it, at around 25 pounds. Delivery is fast, obtained in 2 or 3 days anywhere within the US.
