It is really cool, but $130 (or ~$180 when it launches publicly) for a sweatshirt is very expensive IMHO, granted it has many features you can't get elsewhere.

There is a Kickstarter Master thread

Even with all the traveling, i don't think i would get one. Especially if you travel premium.

They raised nearly $8MM. They could not sell a single other jacket and still this was hugely successful. Not sure how it makes you feel better to say this was a bad idea

Good point about the premium. I fly virtually every week non-premium. I think this would help me but it's just so expensive.

Its a glorified fishing vest with a ridiculous $160 MSRP. if it takes off it sold within a couple months from China for 1/6th of that.
(BTW there is a kickstarter thread)

Aside from the pockets, i don't think i really care too much about this.  I don't need a neck pillow, i don't need an eye shade... too much going on i think.

Not the best presentation, but if it's safer than all the junk out there than it's a important cause.
Most of the hotplates on the market these days are just stores manufacturing it on the cheap in china.
