Baubax travel jacket


I just jumped on this Kickstarter campaign for the Baubax jacket....advertised as "the world's best travel jacket." I'm inclined to believe it...there are actually 4 different jackets, all with multiple functional features for air travel.

In my book I describe the Columbia Silver Ridge vest - essentially a cheaper version of the popular Scottevest travel vest.

I still travel with the Columbia vest from Autumn through Spring - lots of pockets and zippered hideaways for everything I want (or might want) on the plane.  But this Baubax jacket looks incredible. Check it out.

Collapsible coat hanger

I'm using this thing way more than I thought I would. I bought these collapsible clothes hangers basically because I thought it was a cool design. Turns out these things are really functional, too.

Pet peeve - hotels with non-standard clothes hangers. The ones that slip in/out of a little circular metal thing and you can't actually use the hangers around the hotel room, over a vent or shower curtain or whatever.

These collapsible hangers aren't super sturdy so I wouldn't hang a wet sweater or anything heavy. But for typical hotel room laundry like I describe in the book, these guys are perfect.

This goes with me everywhere now...

Obviously designed for lovers of gadgets by a true lover of gadgets. Super portable tool for charging almost any device - Android stuff that uses microUSB, iPhone 5 and 6 and the older iPhone 4 type charger. You can be that guy at the airport, when someone says "does anybody have a charger for a..." Yes, I do. I have that.
