With colder weather drawing nearer the struggle to keep warm begins. The warmest weapon in that struggle is the Slanket. The Slanket is an oversized fleece blanket with large billowy sleeves. The Slanket is very well made and keeps you quite warm. The biggest asset of the Slanket is the sleeves. An opening at each end keeps your hands free for typing, video game playing or whatever, while keeping you warm and toasty.
My wife uses the Slanket and she loves it. I prefer it a little cooler in the house and with the slanket she can continue working on her laptop or study for her exams while keeping warm without having the heater cranked up and making me uncomfortable.
So lower the thermostat a few degrees and get the Slanket. You may save a few bucks on your heating bill and stay warm as well.
