Now there’s no way to avoid that ubiquitous (but oh so comfy) Snuggie. It’s now available in a pattern most in the military find irresistible — camouflage.
If you’re unfamiliar with the fleece blanket with sleeves, it’s gotten pretty, well, cozy with the masses. The infamous infomercial shows a reenactment of the modern woman’s struggle to stay warm. When she goes from too cold to just right after wearing the one-size-fits-all sheet, it’s easy to be hypnotized by the promise of endless comfort.
But when the Air Force Times referred to the new style as the “Tactical Snuggie,” one must wonder in what strategic operations it would be worn. As suitable armor when battling the drafty house? As a quick disguise from enemy attackers attempting to liberate the couch?
With more than 4 million sold in 2009 alone, it was only a matter of time before the Snuggie infiltrated the military world. Along with camo, the makers of Snuggie added more limited-edition colors including zebra and leopard print, midnight black and passion purple. So, snag your own designer Snuggie ($14.95) while supplies last. And hold on to your hat, because like with any crazy informercial offer, they’ll throw in a state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line reading light for FREE.
Once you obtain your camo Snuggie, wear it all over town (the official site suggests pub crawls, office buildings, movie theaters and sporting events!), and you’ll likely wind up on this website.
Watch the tactical Snuggie debut at New York Fashion Week in September.
