surprise for my husband it's by creative lifestyle and this review is not
sponsored fYI I just travel a lot because I am married to an airline
employee and so I have lots of tips and tricks up my sleeve when I travel I've
worn this travel jacket twice so I can give you my full review and some tips
and tricks on how to pull off some of the tools and gadgets that you have in
this jacket so whether you travel for work or just for fun and leisure let's
pop it into my video there are 15 features of this Baubax travel jacket
that i'm going to review for you today there is a neck pillow that comes with
it it is easily inflatable there is an attached stylus an eye mask all kinds of
features for you while you are traveling for work or just for fun but besides all
of those 15 features the main reason I can recommend this jacket is because it
is so warm and that is my number one problem when I fly on the airplane I'm
always cold so this is a very good jacket that can get dirty but it fills
lots of my needs and it has many purposes for it for travel it does come
in four different styles for men and women you have the sweatshirt which is
what I have they have at vest they have a windbreaker and they have a really
thick coat they even have one that has come out for 2018 that is a little out
of my price range so I am reviewing for you the Baubax original sweatshirt
jacket let's get through my cons of this travel jacket one it is very expensive
some people say that it is just an expensive overpriced sweatshirt that has
pockets and they're true they're correct but the placement of the pockets and
their thought process behind every detail in these coats is perfect for
seasoned travelers like myself and you but that's travel jackets do run small
and they say that on their website so why don't they make it more of a correct
styling or sizing for us passengers and for their customers and they also
run out quickly like at Christmas I wanted another size in the light blue
women's size and they did not have them and they were not getting them anytime
soon another negative is that there is no free return or exchange system you
have to pay for the shipping if you want to return it and swap it which is what
we had to do with mine if I am paying such a high price for this high-quality
product and for great customer service behind high quality products I expect
free shipping on returns and exchanges another con for this travel Baubax is
the neck pillow that you can keep inside the hood of your jacket I don't like how
thin it is I want one that is really gonna stay taut and really firm because
you're sitting upright so you want a neck pillow that you can just lean your
head across or lean your head against this one is a little too flimsy and a
little too low like I have to really go down as an airline employee spouse we
travel worldwide and often and one of the most important things for us is the
ease of going through security in different airports if you travel for
work you probably feel the same way so my number one advantage to having
this travel jacket is the ease of going through security because of all the
storage compartments you can store your passport in the outside pocket you the
ticket that you need to boarding pass to go through security you can keep your
phone inside here your iPad or small laptop can fit inside this jacket and
it zips and they tell you that your power bank can also fit inside the
little pocket but this one doesn't zip I probably would keep a power bank and the
cords that go with it inside my backpack because I don't need those going through
security I only need them if my phone or laptop goes dead and do like that most
every pocket zips completely because when you're traveling abroad you want to
hide your important documents and your personal belongings there are several
things about the neck pillow that I really like you can inflate it with one
breath and it has this cool anti locking device that just locks it if the air
does not leak out and you can zip it the material around it feels like our black
cat like one of those baby blankets that are super soft and velvety almost but
not velvety and then to deflate it you just poke your finger through that and
it just instantly deflates the whole neck pillow
I would store this in my backpack though not in the hood of the jacket because it
is bulky even though it's flat and it's lumpy and so on it also is heavy pulling
down on that hood on the inside lapel of your Baubax travel jacket is a little
pocket for a cleaning cloth for your eyeglasses or your sunglasses and it has
a little loop for you to store your sunglasses for me I put my sunglasses in
my backpack in a hardshell case because I won't need them until I'm walking out
of the airport another fabulous feature is the drink can holder I do recommend
zipping your jacket all the way up just to make that pocket area more talk but
have you seen the tray table sizes in airplanes? like your entire laptop takes
up the whole tray table space so you do need a space a compartment for your
drink if you are going to be working while you are having a drink now this is
a full water bottle and I would think that a can would fit in there or some
kind of bottle would fit in there but it's cute innocent added
compartment if you need it for something else one advantage of this jacket is
that if you don't want this stylist it has this little carabiner hook and I
like to take it off because I don't need a stylus and because it is a heavy metal
and when you're walking it some house hits your fingers and it hurts and I
always carry a cute marker pin in my backpack by the way welcome to my
channel my name is laurie please leave comment below and introduce yourself if
you do already own a Baubax travel jacket I suggest that you buy the Baubax
blanket because it tells you all there how to fold it completely to get
it right back to the size of the pocket that it fits in it is an added thing for
like twenty-five dollars I think but if you want to do that that's an option and
they also have a collapsible water bottle that's not enough for me because
I take an empty water bottle with me and just fill it up in the airports if you
haven't checked out my 23 travel hacks for you click on this little eye card
over here and it will take you to that video since that color does come inside
the hood I thought that meant you were supposed to inflate it while it's in the
hood but it's just for easy access but I would just store it in the back one of
my favorite advantages of this jacket is the ease that you can listen to
headphones with if you were walking through the airport like a cool teenager
with your headphones in your ears this is for you and you will pull one
out when you're talking to the flight attendant but the ease and the hassle
free of this jacket is that you can just drop it and easily put it right back in
your ear you don't have to look for it in between the seats if it hasn't fallen
underneath your arm because it is hooked on both sides of this jacket easily with
these two little loops and then your plug and wire goes into your phone and
the hidden pocket in here easily retrievable and the best part is you can
keep your headphones on when you go to the bathroom you don't get up out of the
airplane and then get jerk back to your seat because your headphone is still
connected to the armrest the way I would install the earphones into this these
loops is just slide each one through the loop on the left and the right and keep
the cord dangling behind your neck and then when you need it just reach out
grab it pull it through and then plug it into your phone easy hassle-free I love
this advantage of the travel jacket for people like me
who are cold often on an airplane they have gloves and they do an okay job for
people who are cold a lot it's our extremities which are cold
that's where we need the fabric which is great inside they're extra warm pockets
for your hands it's a hand warming pocket there's no gadget in there but
they are super almost like the inside fuzziness of an of a real sweatshirt
it's that fabric that's in there in the pockets for your hands I absolutely love
the built-in eye mask now it is not gonna be secure like the ones with the
strap that you might get in first class but it does do a fabulous job of just
blocking that light or the reflection of the person's kindle who's sitting next
to you and will not close their window shade now to block some of the light I
do have to say that their customer service is wonderful I participated in
the online chat to ask them about how to inflate and deflate the neck pillow and
they responded within 35 seconds on there however there is no way in this
world to contact them by phone I have researched and researched and researched
if you know a way to do that please leave me a comment below and let me know
because I do have some other questions for them but I was very pleased with
their online customer service I do have to give them that but it would be nice
to have free shipping on returns and exchanges when you're making your
decision on the Baubax travel jacket if you are if warmth is your
major issue then you may want to get the sweatshirt if you are going to be out in
the elements and the weather you want to get the windbreaker there are several
types for you to choose from and I hope that I have helped you make an informed
decision for what's best for you as a traveler and let me know if you were
thinking about getting the brand-new 2018 one thank you so much for sticking
around to the end I hope my review and tips and tricks helped you make an
informed decision
