    The Oodie. I would only see them on people walking down the street or in shops, and advertised in FB, but wow, what a saver on heating bills.

      I don’t think I have even heard of an Oodie before. Is it just a super oversized sweater made out of some material commonly used for blankets?

      That might be something my wife would like as a Christmas present, but then I will never see her body shape ever again.

        I’m not sure if it’s just an Aussie and NZ thing, but houses here are built so poorly that winters are horrible. My house is colder inside than it is outside.

        Oodies are next level. The label says 100% polyester. They’re way oversized and really soft inside and out but that’s what makes them so great and comfortable to lounge in. Pants optional because you can tuck your legs inside and curl up on the couch (I’m 175cm and can do this with room to spare). You start to feel the warmth as soon as you put it on.

        Oodie > blanket because you can walk around in them and not worry about it falling off your shoulders and getting cold, and there’s no gaps anywhere like a blanket would have, like under your arms.

        Sometimes they will have sales like BOGO half off, or end of year sales. Got one for my partner who was dubious, but was sold when he saw I got him one with Rick and Morty on it. He loves that he can stick his hands in the front pouch and keep his hands warm playing the Play Station. I can’t take it off him now.

          So it’s kind of like a really comfortable plushy enclosed robe? I thought it might be like a Snuggy at first, but it looks like it’s closed in the back unlike a Snuggy.
