    Black Friday deals?

    Love my set warmth wise. I did manage to tear a small rip in them and they have matching tenacious tape for repairs and I am a amazed at how well the tape is holding up. As someone else stated don't go busting brush in them, but they are way to warm for me to do much moving around in them.
