So just what is The Slanket?

The first thing you will notice is that a Slanket looks very similar to a fleece blanket that you would use on your bed. However, the big difference is it has enormous sleeves so now you have the ability to use your hands whilst you are sat on the sofa watching TV or working on a computer or out in the garden reading a book .

Although most people will tend to use theirs around the house whilst sat watching TV or reading a book in the living room but it can be put to good use in other places. Have you thought about taking yours along with when you go camping or when you spend time on the beach. How about having one stored in you car in winter in case you get stuck in a long traffic jam and you don’t want to keep the engine running!

The Slanket UK was designed originally for adults but it soon proved popular with many children as they are able to keep snuggly warm while playing their favourite computer game. In fact they have become so popular with children that there are now some really cool designs jus for kids.

When it comes to purchasing a Slanket Blanket you may well be able to purchase offline in a local store.

If you visit Slanketuk.Co.Uk you will soon discover just how many variations are now available. The new pattern styles are particularly popular in 2010

Once you have purchased your blanket with sleeves then of course you need to work out the way to wear it. Below we offer some tips you may find useful to ensure that you wear yours correctly and so ensure that not only are your hands free but it will keep you warm at all times.

After removing the item from its packaging lay it out on a flat surface as this will help you to determine its shape and determine where the sleeves are and which is the back. You wear it like a normal dressing gown and wrap the excess material around you to keep you toasty warm. There is enough material above the shoulders so that you can wear it like a hood. This really is luxury as it keeps your head warm and helps maintain body heat.

Once you have one of these beauties on you really won’t want to take it off. In fact it can be annoying if someone comes to the front door, the phone rings or heaven forbid you have to let the dog out!

All in all The Slanket makes a really useful present for both young and old. The 100% microfiber really does a good job of keeping you warm while the design lets you use your hands to get on with what you need to.

Finally a word of caution! Don’t be tempted to buy a cheap imitation version. Most of these are made cheaply in China and shed a lot of thread material on clothes. There is also the problem that when the cheap versions are washed they can loose their softness and tend to feel rough and loose their warmth. An original Slanket will always have a Slanket Logo stiched on one of the sleeves.
