Whether you’re looking for a way to iron out wrinkles on-the-go or an amazing travel jacket that can carry just about anything you can imagine, it seems there’s a Kickstarter product for everything.
Here are five amazing products you’ll want to take on your next trip:
BauBax Travel Jacket
This truly amazing travel jacket has earned the distinction of being one of the most funded projects in the history of Kickstarter. The BauBax jacket has compartments for just about everything a traveler could need, including a zipper that turns into a pen, and a neck pillow and eye mask hidden in the hood. There are countless pockets to hold your passport, sunglasses, iPad and even a drink. The jacket comes in several colors and styles, including a blazer that is perfect for business travelers.
Floatti
Smart suitcases are all the rage these days, and Floatti is one of the standouts. Floatti offers several fantastic features, including a built-in digital scale, detachable mobile charger, trackers that send alerts if you’ve left your suitcase or other belongings behind, and wheels with a stabilizing suspension system. This suitcase is not only high-tech; it’s also very stylish, with several color options available.
Collar Perfect
Wrinkled shirts have long been an issue for business travelers. Collar Perfect aims to provide an easy and quick solution for travelers who are constantly on the move. The gadget is an ultraportable travel iron about the size of your hand. Because of its size, Collar Perfect is great for doing touch-ups on collars and hems, but the device can also fold out to become a traditional iron.
