OK, well now I know what I should buy next fall. Although I had not heard of the 'freedom blanket' or 'blankoat' before. There was a third that I had heard of, but it was more than the 'slanket' and I don't remember what it was called. I had pretty much decided that the slanket was my best bet, it was just that it was more, so I dragged my feet until it got mostly warm.
