 Cold weather kimono March 15, 2010
Rhonda Roberts (Orlando, Florida)
I am not used to cold weather and I am not used to being in the hospital. Both of these things have been foist on me and this throw has made them bearable. This is not a snuggy - it is much, much thicker. If you have a pike street throw, this is made of the same material. The outside is what feels like 300 thread count sheeting that seems to do nicely with spills. The inside is made of a thick, short hair, plush fabric that is very soft to the touch. Between that is some batting, just like with the throws.
Altogether it is very substantial. It is cold in my hospital room and this knocks back the chill. When I am active, I just spread it out underneath me. When I want to go for a walk, I just zip it up and snap it together. Leave yourself some space between the end and the bottom of your knees if you want to go walking in this - you will need it. It's very snug, like a kimono. Take small steps or you will wipe out.
You can adjust the zippered portions with little effort. The snaps are quite sturdy. It is not hard to adjust the whole thing while you are out walking around, either top or bottom. Like the other reviewers suggest, start the bottom zipper, then step into it. This makes the rest more obvious.
 Nice wrap! February 25, 2010

My wife now lives in this when she comes home! Very warm and long. Nice quality. Buttons in the front really don't work, but not a big deal.
SELLER: REMOVE THE SNAPS AND REPLACE WITH HOOKS!!!!!!!!! February 12, 2010
Maggie Smith
I cannot emphasize this enough:
The maker really needs to stop using the snaps. Having something there is CRUCIAL!!!! They are used to lift the front part of the blanket so that you don't trip when you walk. But as many have noted, snaps are useless. Any clip will be too.
What they need to use is hooks, so that the bottom part stays off the floor by hanging off the upper part; they will be held in place by the weight of the fabric itself (you need to have the item to understand what I mean).
But note:
1. The hooks should be placed on the underside of the top part, not on the outside. That way, when they are not in use, they won't snag on other things.
2. There should be hooks at different heights so that this can work for people of different heights. In fact, the maker might consider making the wraps in different sizes if sales increase enough, which they certainly should.
Because otherwise, this product is AWESOME!
I am really sensitive to cold, and I sit at my desk working all day, which means that when the temperature falls below 72, I get really cold.
With this thing on me, the room temperature is now 66 and I am boiling hot! I can easily go down to 64, probably less. Since my arms are covered as I work at my desk almost to the wrist, there is no part of me exposed. We are talking about keeping the thermostat almost 10 degrees lower than normal!!! And feeling WARM and TOASTY.
And I will be sewing on hooks myself, so that I can walk around without having to hold it--otherwise it is dangerous as you can trip.
The product has excellent quality and the price is incredible. It looks gorgeous as a throw on the bed too. Plush and soft on the inside. The blue is really, really nice.
Other than the problem that it trails on the floor due to the snaps getting undone, this is perfection! Highly, highly recommended.
3. ONE MORE THING: Mark the top side so that you are not guessing what part goes round the shoulders. It just comes looking like a blanket and it takes a couple of minutes to figure it out.

My kids wanted Snuggies but these cost just a bit more and seemed like a much better value. I agree with others that there are a bit cumbersome to put on, but once you're in it they are very warm and comfortable.
Very Nice February 2, 2010

Bought this for my 77 year old dad who would be chilled if the room temperature dropped below 80 degrees. He absolutely loves it, it keeps him warm and fits well.
