Snowboarding Rainier in a Unicorn Onesie: A Technical Evaluation

r those who’re available in the market for an grownup onesie however are holding out as a result of efficiency considerations, I’m right here to assist. I not too long ago examined the Unicorn Onesie at 10,000 ft in Washington’s most unforgiving wilderness: Mt. Rainier. Learn on for all the beta on the technical efficiency of a Unicorn Onesie within the backcountry.

If I needed to boil my assessment down to at least one sentence, I’d say: It is best to completely purchase an grownup onesie as a result of the worth to enjoyable ratio can’t be overwhelmed, simply don’t anticipate any technical efficiency out of it in any way.

Options galore on this child.

The “Product”

The UBeauty Unisex-adult Kigurumi Onesie Unicorn Pajamas has four.5/5 stars as reviewed by present Amazon prospects. One blissful buyer referred to as it “enjoyable, entertaining, and nice to twist up in.” One other mentioned, “Everybody wants a unicorn of their life!” Since I solely take heed to strangers on the web, in fact I ordered one. Naturally, I obtained turquoise as a result of the purple and pink choices are silly.

Options

Allegedly made out of flannel, the fleenal (what I’m calling a mixture of fleece and flannel) onesie comes geared up with one yellow unicorn horn, two eyes, two ears, and a floppy mouth. Oh, and it has an superior pink mohawk which matches a pink tail, each made out of the softest supplies possible.

Uni, as I affectionately name her, additionally comes with 5 buttons for simple on-and-off entry (assuming you aren’t sporting sneakers), which additionally come in useful when you’ve gotten a pee funnel and don’t wish to take off your entire ensemble to make use of it.

Uni additionally has a secret characteristic – POCKETS! These shallow wonders are an ideal place to place your cellphone if you need it to fall out whilst you’re strolling round. You’ll be able to retailer something you introduced however don’t actually need: a headlamp, additional batteries, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, Grandpa Max, lotion, and far, a lot MORE!

Match

Nobody seems to be good in Uni. Don’t anticipate it to make your ass look good or your abdomen look trim. Very like the couture trend runways, you aren’t purported to look good. You’re making a goddamn assertion, okay!?

I digress.

As an individual who suffers from shortness, I ordered a small. This was a mistake, as apparently, I’ve very overweight wrists and ankles. I might need ripped the cuffs placing it on…. If you order your individual Uni (which you’ll), I like to recommend going up a dimension – particularly if you happen to plan to enterprise into the backcountry to permit for bountiful layering choices.

Snowboarding

Uni goes for a ski.

Mobility

What it lacks in match, Uni makes up for in mobility. You’ll be able to lunge, lounge, crab stroll, rock climb, ski, and pee standing as much as your coronary heart’s content material. Must do a cartwheel? No drawback (assuming you possibly can truly do one…), Uni has you coated. Simply don’t fall within the snow or you may be moist. However I’m getting forward of myself.

Insulation & Breathability

Manufactured from fleenal, Uni is sort of insulating – assuming it’s not raining or windy or snowing, and assuming you aren’t in an energetic hurricane/volcano. I assume what I’m saying is, Uni makes a wonderful sleep outfit for tenting within the mountains, however not a lot else. It’s utterly penetrable by the wind, doesn’t defend towards precipitation of any variety, and turns into fairly water-logged if you happen to take a fast nap on the snow (not that I might know).

Weight & Packability

I don’t know how a lot Uni weighs. A pound? Two? Perhaps solely like eight oz? It doesn’t matter as a result of you’ll carry it anyway.

It’s additionally not very packable, however given its enormity it’ll certainly cut back the quantity of house in your backpack, leaving you even much less house for group gear. That is good for you as a result of group gear is heavy and it’s extra enjoyable to observe your teammates undergo as you stroll alongside having fun with the lightness of your pack.

Verdict? Purchase one. Purchase one proper now. I imply, you don’t wish to be like these losers (picture under) who needed to improvise a unicorn horn as a result of they got here unprepared?

Snowboarding

Have a look at all these girls who would relatively be in a unicorn onesie.

Have a look at little McKinley there. She’s eight-years-old within the image, and already a grasp of sporting pink and rocking the unicorn horn. Her life would solely get richer with the addition of Uni to her life.
