Most jackets offer very little usefulness beyond their ability to keep you warm and dry, save for a few pockets to keep a few basic items safe. But the BauBax Jacket is a travel jacket intended to offer a little more, with 14 different uses beyond a jacket's standard capabilities.

Essentially a multitool in the form of clothing, the BauBax Jacket's features include a neck pillow and eye mask built into the hood, gloves built into the sleeves, a built-in microfiber cloth for cleaning glasses and/or touchscreens, and a zipper that doubles up as both a pen and stylus.

The pockets are all designed with a particular purpose in mind, such as holding a can of drink, keeping earphones free of tangles, and accommodating a tablet, a smartphone, sunglasses, and a passport, respectively. The garment will come as a sweatshirt, a windbreaker, a bomber, and a blazer, each of which is available for both men and women.

Production of the BauBax Jacket is currently being funded through a Kickstarter campaign, with its creators seeking US$20,000. It has already sailed past that goal, racking up a whopping $230,000 at the time of writing. A pledge of $109 is currently set to be rewarded with a BauBax Jacket, assuming the makers deliver on their promises. The creators of the garment plan to ship the finished product in November 2015.
