BauBax 2.0-The jacket for frequent flyers

If you are a frequent flyer and need a jacket with 25 features, look no further than the BauBax2.0 . After raising $9.2 million in its first go-around, the BauBax team is launching the 2.0 version of its jacket created "by travelers for travelers" and meant to address "common travel problems and make every journey easier".

The jacket includes a number of bells and whistles that you probably didn't know you wanted. For example, there's a pen (or stylus) attached to the main zipper, earbud holders, multiple tech gadget pockets, a secret RFID safe pocket, a drink pocket, and of course, built-in gloves. The BauBax 2.0 also features specially sized storage pockets for your passport, wallet, tablet, smartphone, sunglasses, portable battery charger, and water bottle. In essence, if you want to turn yourself into a walking suitcase, this is the way to do it.

It is available at Kickstarter.com. Early Bird $119 pledge can get you a sweatshirt or windbreaker which will be shipped in August, while a pledge of $149 will get you the bomber style.
