The special forces troops in Vietnam in the 60s were the first to replace the standard issue army wool blanket - obviously fairly useless in the wet, tropical environment of Vietnam - and make use of the far more suitable and convenient woobie.
Today, troops deployed in the field use the woobie in place of blankets, tent dividers, or sleeping bags. And solider talk about how useful they are as baby blankets, dog beds, hammock blankets, smoking jackets, robes... and jackets.
As I mentioned at the start, I love this hoodie. I don’t think it is the most performant thing I own — not even close — but it is one of the most comfortable I own. If I was headed somewhere cold, I would pack this for sure. And I have worn it about every chance I have had here in Texas.
Many colors are available.
