Revolutionary Jacket Packs 15 Features Every Traveler Wants into One Stylish Garment

Traveling can be an uncomfortable experience, from fumbling with your luggage to being too hot or cold. To help make your journey a more pleasant one, BauBax has combined 15 travel necessities into one jacket. They're things we often yearn for while flying or riding, but don't want to juggle, including: a built-in hood and eye mask; space for your tablet or smartphone; hand-warming pockets; and a perfectly-sized pouch to hold a passport or ID. With all of these conveniences, it's no wonder that BauBax's design has made crowdfunding history with over two million dollars raised on Kickstarter so far.

The handy travel jacket comes in a variety of styles and colors. Their sweatshirt design, for instance, might not be appropriate for everyone, so the creators have translated the same features into a windbreaker, bomber, and blazer, which is wrinkle-free and can quickly be turned into a business suit. The bomber and blazer also include a removable hood so that you still get the benefits of the sleeping mask, but don't have to wear it all of the time. In addition, each version has a detachable and inflatable neck pillow to cut down on excess bulk.

There's still a month left to claim your own travel jacket, and a pledge of $119 or more will get you the sweatshirt that ships in November, later this year.
