    This is one of those things that sounds really goofy and you kind of make fun of it, but in reality you want one really, really bad. Like a snuggie.

    @Jewel Loree: But even if you had a snuggie, would you use it in public? The only place to use this thing is in public, whereas with a snuggie you could get away with just using it on your couch.


    Not that I would advocate buying either of them, but I see your point!

    Comfortable till some crazed Canadian comes at you with a knife and saws your head off. I am never sleeping on a train again.

    The middle picture makes it look like he is hitting a hookah in his hood. Now THERE is a marketing idea.....

    @Curves: yes, we're not in enough danger in everyday life with asploding chairs and cell phones. let's put a hot coal inside a jacket!


    but really, that sounds like a great idea. maybe lets go with a ceramic heating element. or one of those cold solder tips, that heats and cools instantly.

    @Epoch: I didnt say it was practical, just highly marketable. (Let the engineers figure it out.)

    @Curves: And while they're at it they can print 4:20 on the back in bright orange to match the piping...


    Yes, sadly I know the trim is called piping..

    @Jrsy Devil's Food Cake®: Actually I am mistaken. It's a zipper and not piping..

    Decent idea but a pain in the ass to blow up I bet. I could see applications for a quickly inflating one with an accelerometer that would act as an airbag or something. Or maybe a floating device to keep your head above the water.

    That's interesting, though I think a more useful application would be to make jackets with inflatable compartments to increase insulation.


    That, or pants with inflatable butt cheeks so I will be more comfortable at work.
