As a downright devotee of all things oversized, anything with a hint of magnified proportions that also happens to keep my still-scrawny behind shielded from the elements is nothing short of a hit with me.

You might as well enwrap all other areas to make up for the bitter numbness of those poor two inches of flesh above your feet.
