excubo jacket

Via eyebeam reblog… As described in the original website:

A jacket for sleeping on public transportation is the concept for this project. During research I learned that people can sleep when their bodies are held in a rigid state as opposed to only a soft and yielding state - similar to most beds. I applied this concept to the Excubo jacket - a jacket that transforms into a firm and protective shell around the user.

Why? Gear for the traveler… Would be nice to integrate a sleeping mask to it, or have it detachable so to adapt it to other jackets… or?
