Tactical Snuggie?


Wearable blanket goes camo
Staff report
Posted : Friday Oct 9, 2009 12:33:44 EDT

Get on board the hottest train in fashion with your very own camouflage Snuggie. Perfect for keeping yourself warm in your drafty shop — while also staying tactical — the fleece Snuggie is the blanket you wear. (“Blankets are OK but they can slip and slide, plus your hands are trapped inside!”)

The bad news: They won’t be available until later this fall, says a company spokesman, but the “prototype” was unveiled in September at New York Fashion Week. Once they go on sale online, they’ll probably cost about $20.

Visit http://www.SnuggieFanClub.com to find out more and check for availability. We’ll let you know when the camo version goes on sale. (We’ll also be giving one to a lucky reader.)

More than 5 million Snuggies were sold last year, making it one hot piece of gear. No word yet on sales for this year, but you’ll want to pounce on the offer quickly: They’ll probably sell out like glitter bracelets at a Miley Cyrus concert.
