Snuggie Fleece Blanket with Sleeves

I was given 2 snuggies as gifts and they are very warm and comfortable however after just 2 washes the fleece started pilling. For those out there that are unschooled in the differences in fleece, pretty much every fleece in the world is soft and warm to begin with. One of the biggest differences between high quality and low quality fleece lies in the "pilling effect". Pilling occurs when the garment's fibers roll up, often after being washed, and lie on the surface like tiny round pills. This pilling seriously effects almost every aspect of the fleece including how it feels and its ability to keep heat in. All fleece pills eventually. You can tell how old a Patagonia synchilla jacket is based off of how much pilling has taken place. High quality fleece doesn't pill for quite some time and cheap fleece starts to pill almost immediately. I had serious pilling after only 2 washes with the Snuggies and I am over 20 washes with my Slankets and they still havent shown any sign of pilling yet.

The bottom line Snuggies are cheaper but you get what you pay for. A Slanket costs more but its going to last you a considerably longer amount of time than the snuggie and it will keep its softness and its ability to keep in warmth much longer than the Snuggie. I gave my Snuggies to the Salvation army and purchased 4 Slankets. My advice is to stay as far away from the Snuggie as possible. Spend a little more and get something that is actually much higher in quality. If however you care more about saving money than actually buying something of quality then maybe the Snuggie is for you after all.

I bought this for a 21 year old boy because he spends a lot of time at his computer in the basement where it's cold. I wasn't sure what he'd think of a snuggie, but it turns out he loves it and uses it all the time! The camouflauge made it seem more "manly" for him. Personally, I love my blue snuggie and wear it all the time when I watch TV.

i got this as a gift for christmas. it does its job of keeping you warm but all blankets do that. this is like a backwards robe but its hard to keep on when you are standing up, because it barely goes past your shoulders. i guess it is tailored towards people who lay on the couch all day. i tried to wear it like a normal robe but theres not enough cloth. if you stand up with it on a rug it will create static. i pet my dog after walking a few feet and shocked his nose. it attracts dog hair like crazy. there is a pocket on this for some reason.

its so impractical unless you are the type of person who lays in bed for more than 20 hours a day and needs to use their hands without getting too cold.

I was given 2 Snuggies for Christmas last year and they are very warm and comfortable however after just 2 washes the fleece started pilling.

You can tell how old a Patagonia Synchilla jacket is based off of how much pilling has taken place. Basically pilling takes a considerable amount time with high quality fleece while cheap fleece starts to pill right away, usually after just 1 or 2 washes. I had serious pilling after just 2 washes with the Snuggies and I am now over 30 washes with my Slankets and they still haven't shown even the slightest sign of pilling yet. For those that are unaware, Slankets are really the original sleeved blankets that came out roughly a year before Snuggies. Slankets are more expensive but its worth it as they use a much higher quality fleece.

The bottom line Snuggies are cheaper but you get what you pay for. A Slanket costs more but its going to have a significantly longer lifespan than the Snuggie and it will keep its softness and its ability to keep in warmth much longer than the Snuggie. I gave my Snuggies to the Salvation Army and purchased 4 Slankets. My advice is to spend a little more and get a sleeved blanket that is considerably higher in quality.

This is one of the worst products I have ever seen. It boasts about being "hands free" and having "oversized sleeves" and most laughably of being "super large." It is, in reality, something akin to a quirky fleecy hospital gown that will not enclose the area approximately between your shoulder blades unless you are Bilbo Baggins. It is very cheaply made. The manufacturer also boasts "now with pockets" without mentioning that putting anything of any weight into them will make the Snuggie fall off if you stand up in it, not that it's engineered for a strenuous aerobic activity like standing. Of course they also claim it's "perfect for outdoor events" which is entirely true if your definition of "perfect for outdoor events" involves letting your unclothed posterior poke out of a nightmare garment in public.

This is an entirely impractical garment for anyone who ever gets off their couch.

For an impossibly practical idea, I offer this alternative: buy a robe.

How I came to own a Snuggie with monkeys on it is an entirely more interesting subject, but is one that is, sadly, beyond the scope of the review. Let's just say it involved Christmas gift-giving gone horribly wrong, and leave it at that.
