I absolutely love my warm Kudd.ly oversized hooded blanket!! I have never
had one before but this year with energy bills rising fast and watching how
much we put the heating on this autumn and winter we needed other ways to
keep warm.
We bought the Kudd.ly hoodie brand which I would recommend, but there
are many different companies selling them now. So it is best to see what is
available to you and what is important to you.
These hooded blankets are really great. They are generously oversized and
have a hood and arms with plenty of room. The length for an adult, clearly
depending on height, is generally mid thigh to around knee length or a bit
longer.
You simply pop it over your head and it is a massive cosy, warm cover-up.
This means that it is easy to relax on the sofa with it on and also you can
easily move around the house while wearing it and keep warm, unlike a
blanket that slips off or trips you up.
Our Kudd.ly is made of plush soft polyester on the outside and sherpa lined
and thus very warm and soft to wear. The hood goes right over my head so
plenty big enough if you find you need that extra warmth.
We mainly wear them first thing in the morning when having our breakfast
and coffee and in the evenings once we settle down to watch a film or read
or go on the internet. I do wear it when I am working from home though
probably not for a work Zoom Call although I have come close when I forgot I
was wearing it!!
Once it gets much colder in winter I can see us wearing them during the day
when we are at home.
Sizing Of The Wearable Hooded Blanket
Ours is one size fits most people. Most of the hooded blankets I have
seen are one size fits most. They are not designed to be form-fitting or even neat fit but
rather a great big oversized cuddly wearable blanket.
As an example, It fits both me at 5 foot 8 inches tall and my 6 foot 2 inches, tall husband, with room to spare and is plenty
big enough in all measurements.
If you are buying a different brand it is just best to check how big it is
and how it fits.
Many brands also do children's sizes so best to check what is the most
suitable for your child.
Benefits Of Wearable Hooded Blankets
-
It really does keep you very warm. It can be worn over anything so day
clothes, dresses and PJs or just over a vest top or T shirt.
-
It is long enough on most people to either wear with trousers, joggers or
PJs or leggings or if you are warm enough on its own.
-
It is not size specific so once you have one it doesn't matter if you
gain or lose weight and is especially useful when buying for teenagers who
can wear the adult versions and still wear it as they grow taller.
-
Clearly, it will depend on height but for many adults, an adult size will
probably be around mid thigh to knee length or slightly longer. So for
most adults you are not in danger of tripping up over it when walking
around or going up and down stairs like you would if walking around with a
blanket around your shoulders with the danger of it slipping off.
-
On children it will depend on their height and probably best to buy a
child size specific hooded blanket. I would probably aim for no longer
than just below the knee or maybe mid calf length for a child to be safe
walking around in it. Many older teenagers would be fine in an adult
version.
-
It looks good and covers you up, so you can certainly open the door to
delivery drivers or neighbours without worrying you look like you are in
your night clothes at 7pm!
-
These hooded blankets come in many different colours and designs for
both adults and children so it is matter of choosing your favourite.
There are block colours, patterned designs, tie dye designs, children
and teens designs in fun and funky designs or with animal features. The Sherpa
fleece inside is very soft and usually white.
-
The massive kangaroo-type pocket at the front is great for carrying
around all those little bits and pieces! It's also great for keeping
your hands very warm.
-
I think they are suitable for everyone from men to women, older
children to elderly people.
-
On a cold day or night, you just feel so warm and cosy and cuddly which
is a great feeling!
-
If you don't need to wear them for example in the warmer weather, they
come in a great bag that they can also be stored in.
-
As you are so warm and they are much warmer than normal jumpers or
sweaters, you won't need to have the expensive heating on so much so
over time they will more than pay for themselves.
Care Of A Wearable Hooded Blanket
Our Kudd.ly hooded blanket is fully washable on a gentle cycle. To dry
either hang to dry outside on a washing line or inside over an airer or a
gentle tumble dry. It has washed and dried beautifully.
Personally, I think you need at least two each, so one to wear and one in
the wash. Once you have one you never want to be without it for a minute!
The Oversized Hooded Blanket As A Gift
They make wonderfully thoughtful gifts and the only decision really is
whether it's a child or adult size and which color to buy and will suit
everyone from older children to elderly people in the family!
Any gender can and do wear these hoodies, it is just a choice of which
colour and design!
You have no worries about what size the buy as this garment does fit most
people.
I do think especially for winter Birthdays and for Christmas gifts these
wearable oversized hoodies are a very thoughtful and fun gift. As it is so
huge it also really feels like a substantial gift and can be tried on
straight away.
Different brands do vary in price and quality so do check out before you
buy.
As for negatives I really cannot find any. I just wish I had bought them
for us and for gifts years ago.
If you want to feel toasty warm from head to toe in the colder months,
consider buying a Warm Wearable Oversized Hoodie Blanket and
also Women's Warm Winter Sherpa Lined Pants reviewed by Sylvestermouse Cynthia.
