    Im still trying to understand why this jacket is getting the hype its getting, its just a jacket with pockets, and some cheap fingerless gloves and an inflatable pillow that wraps around your neck, lets not forget that it can hold a tablet, earphones and a phone. Also has built in pen because we all need a pen when were on the go and drink pocket because when I have an open can of soda or beer the first thing I want is a jacket that can hold it for me....

    • Dubbed the "Swiss Army Knife of jackets," the BauBax has 15 features to simplify your life in ways you hadn't imagined.

      The jacket has everything from a built-in neck pillow and eye mask to pockets for your iPad, passport, and portable charger. Even the zipper has a purpose — it easily transforms into a pen that can extend up to four inches.

      The invention is setting records on Kickstarter, where it has raised more than $7.25 million from 36,600 people and counting. The jacket's design team, Chicago-based BauBax LLC, originally set a goal of $20,000, but they have now raised more money than any other clothing item in the short history of Kickstarter.

      It comes in a few different styles — 100% cotton sweatshirt, water-repellent windbreaker, fleece-lined bomber, and a wrinkle-free blazer.

      Each style has several different color options, though the hoods on the windbreaker and sweatshirt are not detachable.
