Introducing.... The Slanket
Updated : Nov 28, 2008
With the winter chill really setting in, the answer to keeping warm may be the fantasically named Slanket.
Basically it is a big fleece blanket with sleeves designed to keep your entire body covered and cozy while you still have the use of your hands.
Inventor Gary Clegg got the lightbulb moment when he ripped a hole in his sleeping bag so he could change TV channels with his remote control.
Enlisting his mother to mock up a prototype, he is now ready to share his invention with the world.
The US inventor claims the Slanket, which costs about €35, is good for the environment and as well as perfect for those suffering through the credit crunch as you won't have to turn your heating on so high.
This one is on Ms. Piggys christmas list for sure!!!
