Ooodie, renowned for its luxuriously soft wearable hooded blankets that many opt to wear instead of cranking up the central heating, thereby saving on hefty energy bills in the long run. Although it’s tempting to sport their Oodies outdoors, it’s not advised due to the velvety exterior fleece’s propensity to get dirty quickly.

Luckily, Oodie has a solution in the form of the Zip Through Outdoor Jacket. Available in two sizes – small to large and XL-OOD – it usually retails at £109, but is currently just £54.50. Oodie enthusiasts insist it’s ‘worth every penny’ and more.

The reason being, the Zip Through Outdoor Jacket is ingeniously designed to withstand any weather conditions the British winter can throw at you. The all-weather Oodie features a sturdy and water-resistant outer layer, styled in a subtle and chic quilt pattern reminiscent of a puffer jacket, reports Manchester Evening News.

Inside, you’ll discover Oodie’s ultra-soft ToastyTek fleece that gives the sensation of being enveloped by a cloud. It also boasts a spacious hood for added warmth and comfort, plus large side pockets for your phone, snacks, and beverages.

The Black Zip Through Outdoor Jacket has garnered a sterling overall rating of 3.8 out of five. One enthusiastic customer commented: “Just been delivered. And omg I absolutely love it. Extremely lightweight and super soft inside. As someone with sensory disorder and finds that coats are too bulky and restricted. This is perfect. Im so ridiculous happy to find a coat that works perfectly with my needs. Well done oodie. I will be trying a sleep tee next.

However, another customer shared: “Kinda disappointed about the change of inner lining, having had one of the old style. If it’s not as warm through this winter it will be cause for complaint/return/refund. Same issue with older style, seams aren’t great and have massive thread hanging already that gets caught in the zip.

“No way returning it though as I done that with the old style, and due to customer service taking weeks to respond they could not replace like for like as the black had sold out even though they were aware of my exchange long before and I ended up with a colour way that just was not for me.

“For the price being paid it’s pretty annoying. At least the sizing is better though. And I like the thumb holes. Though the images on the site need updated as it still shows the old style which is what I expected to get. Need to do better.”

Bargain hunters will also be pleased to find the Wearable Blanket from Mountain Warehouse now available at a discount of 42%, down to £34.99 from £59.99, offering a £25 saving.
