Soft, cozy, and very warm
Bought it as a gift, and it was a big success! This is a well made product. It is thick, soft, and very warm. It gets much plush and softer after washing and drying, which I highly recommend to do before wearing it. Excellent value for the price.

Warm, soft, made to last
Absolutely love this thing! It is perfectly warm and toasty and extremely soft to the touch. The hood and large pocket are useful and perfect. I have put this in the washer and drier several times and have worn it A LOT over the 2 months I’ve owned it yet it still looks brand new. It is seriously SO. COMFORTABLE. When I had the flu, I wore this and didn’t have to worry about tripping over a blanket draped over myself. I can’t think of a single negative to say!!

Warm and cozy.
The wearable blanket is better than I hoped. We are in Florida and experiencing below cold and this came just at the right time. It is soft and the pocket is large enough that my phone is not in danger of falling out. It is well worth it if you have trouble with being cold, and you don't have to uncover to get up.

Warm and snuggly
I work from home often and sitting at my dest I am usually cold. This has been the perfect solution to keep warm and still be able to have my arms move freely. The material is very thick and soft. I loved this so much I bought a second one!
