The Oodie

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

Not sure if this is the correct section as it's not very stylish . Is The Oodie worth the money at 2for £84? I'm hoping if it's decent I won't have to have the heating on as much.

I use mine as the top layer. Last winter it was t-shirt, velour tracksuit top and trousers then oodie over the top. I’m short so it came to about knee length. It let me turn down the heating several degrees.

This year I’ve bought a second oodie (so I can dry one on an airer which takes days because they are so thick) and thermal t-shirt and leggings (plus a heated throw) and I’m hoping to have the heating off during the day while I WFH.

I got my snuddie from Primark, it's crazy warm. Not tried an oodie to compare it to, but I have no complaints!

If I wanted to wear it over a sweater do I need to size up or is that already accounted for?

Oodie only come in one size which I think is XXL

I can comfortably fit a hooded tracksuit top under it.

We have Oodies and think they're great, size wise, comfort wise plus they wash well.

We will live in them at home throughout the winter and wore them at the beginning of the year when they announced the price hikes so I instantly turned off the heating bar 2 hours each morning B4 school and work to get ready and we were all more than happy.

In fact the teen DC like wearing them so much they prefer the heating down so they can wear them to snuggle up in in the evenings

The Oodie is a 6 XL so massive, has a huge pocket at the front for phones and stuff. DD is a size 4 (XS) and just loves hers.

It’s basically like a huge fleecy blanket with arms. As I said, I wear mine over warm clothes not instead of.

I absolutely love my Oodie - I lived in it last winter! Definitely keeps the heating at bay so think of it as an investment piece

We have kuddly versions. They are great and can be tumble dried, unlike the Oodie!

weve got oodies. Amazing things.

Does anyone know how to tell if one is genuine? Someone on my Facebook ordered one from a site called 5poundstuff and got sent an oodie. I risked it and ordered one and it’s branded kuddly. It looks real but it seemed too good to be true for the price (and it’s not advertised as branded which makes me thing it must not be genuine!).

Thanks all. Some very interesting feedback here. I said about 2 for £84 as it said by one get one free and I could get DD one. I already have a blanket over me when lounging on sofa so this would be perfect and also for wfh. I've seen this one from next as well. Anyone tried these? First time I've seen one at next.

But not by ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️

@teaandtoastwithmarmite I have the next one and a kuddly and the kuddly is far far better!

I think they are. They're so so warm and cosy and wash like a dream. Just as well really, probably be living in it all winter 🙈

@Justonedayatatime11 thank you- that's good to know. I like that pattern as well lol but will check out the kuddly

Yes I agree.

I also have a sienna from Amazon and I remember taking it off in the middle of winter last year as I was too hot!

The Kuddy is more than double the price of a Sienna from Amazon. Is it worth it?

The kuddlys seem to get cheaper the more you buy. I bought 4 for £99 last week. They seem to be available for about £12 on one of the £5 sites as well. Ours turned up yesterday and they seem great - thick, warm and massive.

Any one know of one suitable for young kids? Looks like mine would drown in an oodie!

Which site please? I keep hearing this ans I keep looking but can't find it.

We have Comfy (from Costco). In warehouse was £19.99 last year. Online costs more but I think includes postage.

Big, thick & warm. Can"t fault it.

@Zeeza it's 5poundstuff website but some people got sent primark ones, some got oodie and some kuddly so you can't tell until it arrives. Think they've sold out now anyway
