Burton's Sleeper Hoodie: for the dozing boarder

If you're the type who feels that sleeping is just another way to waste precious seconds of life, the MyDo Bururu glasses can help extend your waking hours and keep you argus-eyed, but if you've been looking for an easy, comfortable way to find sleep while flying around or cramped up in the back seat of a car, Burton feels your pain. Even if you've already dropped entirely too much loot on a plethora of other Burton gear this winter, the company's Sleeper Hoodie could easily extract a few more bills for all its niceties. Aside from sporting a soft, outer layer to keep your toasty, this special hoodie features a built-in iPod / ticket / passport pocket, complimentary earplug compartment, arm pit zips to air yourself out, cuff thumb holes, a pull down "light shield" to block out the rays, and to top it all off, a built-in neck pillow to keep comfy while dreaming away. So if you've nothing better to do on those hour-long ski lift rides to the tip top of the mountain, you might as well cash in on this and snooze a bit (or tune into your iPod) to pass the time.

[SporkRocker @ Feb 4th 2007 12:30AM]

Oh, I wish I had one of these for when I had no homework for study hall or work to do in classes.

Still wouldn't mind having it as I do travel alot.

this is awesome, i'd buy one if it didn't have the big plane on the front

[Jeff Hagen @ Feb 4th 2007 12:59AM]

Dang I want one right now for a plane trip next week. Think I heard they're not out until Fall though. Don't drop the ball Burton!

[Braintrust @ Feb 4th 2007 1:12AM]

What's wearable about this? An iPod pocket.

[anonymous @ Feb 4th 2007 1:35AM]

Wow, I really want that... How much is it going to be I wonder?

Oh and a reference to Dune on the original article!

[embee @ Feb 4th 2007 2:27PM]

Geek cred itself is a dubious commodity. But getting lathered up by picking up on the line that says "better than a stillsuit from Dune" as a reference to Dune just exposes you as a wannabe who can only aspire to having said dubious geek cred.

I'd get one if it didn't have a big plane on the front.....if it was just plain black I'd buy this

[Kumar @ Feb 4th 2007 8:31AM]

This looks like a nerdy ninja suit.
How long before someone actually tries to board a plane with this thing on and gets tackled by TSA for looking like a terrorist? The plane on the front is enough to make any minimum wage earning tsa agent anxious. They'll have you off to the side before you have time to try and take it off for the xray machine. I imagine gas stations and convenience stores will be equally thrilled when some loser cuts out eyeholes and strolls in for a quick withdrawal of all their cash.

Nice idea Burton, but it's just not going to work.

Don't fly much, do ya.

[August @ Feb 5th 2007 3:03AM]

Please shut up.

[Revels @ Feb 4th 2007 8:32AM]

I'd buy it BECAUSE of the plane on the front!
Then I'd cut eye-holes in the mask and pretend to be Donatello.

[Matt Johnson @ Feb 4th 2007 10:46AM]

Why don't they just call it the Unabomber Hoodie? Because it's got the plane on the front and an inside pocket for your passport.

[Henry @ Feb 4th 2007 3:30PM]

So will Engadget be keeping me posted on clothing now too? Oh right it has an i-pod pocket, definitely makes it tech news.

[hesh @ Feb 4th 2007 11:04PM]

See as how you're probably a huge nerd, you'll need all the fashion help you can get.

[CaptSaltyJack @ Feb 4th 2007 7:06PM]

You WILL join the dark side..

Hey 'Hesh', I would disagree with that, you can get a decent look at my life and judge for yourself. My blog is www.almosturban.blogspot.com Put that transparency in your pipe and smoke it.
I already read this off two other blogs and don't think it fits in with tech news. Why would you call me a geek for that comment, it makes you sound like a little Engadget groupie. Hit me back with a reply if you think your less of a geek then me (with something to back it), or with why you think this post should be on Engadget.

Try sleeper CELL hoodie, this is totally the hoodie for wanna-be terrorists who are tired of all the DIY projects that terrorism requires. Small easy-to-conceal pockets included.
