A jacket’s primary purpose is to keep you warm. It might come with a couple of pockets here and there to let you store stuff like your keys and wallet, but other than that it’s pretty standard. The only reason you might buy more jackets is maybe for fashion purposes if you want to switch up your look.
However fashion brand BauBax has decided to reinvent the jacket by launching a Kickstarter campaign for what they’re calling the world’s best travel jacket, and based on the features of the jacket, we can’t help but agree. This jacket has pockets and slots for just about anything imaginable.
There are small side pockets for sunglasses, there are earphone holders, there are pockets for warming your hands, a built-in neck pillow, an eye mask, a pocket for holding a portable charger, built-in gloves, a pen and a stylus attached to the zipper, and best of all, there is even a small pouch to hold your drink in!
Now we know it sounds a bit absurd but it certainly sounds very functional at the same time. It comes in a variety of styles and colors for both men and women, with a blazer option for those times you need to look a bit more formal but don’t want to lose the functionality. The travel jacket has so far managed to raise over $1 million which safe say exceeded its humble goal of $20,000.
