Not at all worth the hype in my opinion!

I would just like to say it is a great idea. If you don't want or need extra heat, you don't have to have it. And if you do want a little extra warmth, you got it and unlike those blankets from the warmers, the Bair Paws gown stays warm. As the patient, you control the temp; no need to call a nurse for another blanket. I would picture a person (say getting ready for surgery) instead of the pic above. Pic above shows upper body warming, but this page is talking about the gown. Anyway, I love your product and I hope that if I have to go into the other hospital my docs use, they have Bair Paws! Good luck on continued growth. I have worn this gown (& socks) at Brookwood Hospital here in Birmingham, Alabama. I would just like to say it is a great idea.
