Gadling Gear: Burton's Sleeper Hoodie v2.0

One of my favorite ways to pass time on my regular 6AM flights out of New York City is by boarding early, cashing out and sleeping until touchdown in Detroit. I've even got a favorite hoodie for the occasion, this brown zipup I bought in Sweden that I can stuff my hands into, pull up the hood and promptly start snoring in. What a waste of a first class seat.

Looks like the folks at Burton smell what I'm cooking and have designed a sweatshirt specifically for this task. We covered last year's model with all of it's nifty features, including a built-in inflatable pillow, ear plug and passport pockets and light shield over the hood. This year, they've also integrated a travel toothbrush into the mix. It looks like the total package for anyone wanting to integrate comfort and efficiency into one piece of drool-friendly apparel.

Good lucking finding one of these gems on the white market though. Burton and all of their distributors have sold out completely and they're going on Ebay for upwards of 200$.

Meantime you can check out specs and some images of the hoodie directly from Burton.com.
