Best travel blanket ever? Loungaroo fleece includes storage pouch AND pillow
LOUNGAROO is a contender for the best travel blanket yet.
Loungaroo has been dubbed the 'best travel blanket ever' on its Kickstarter campaign
The fleecy material has been invented to solve the problem of icy airplane temperatures.
Loungaroo is a travel blanket that’s worn like a huge bib.
It has a storage pouch at the front and a foot pouch at the bottom.
Valuables like passports and phones can be stored in the zip-up compartments.

The handy travel hack removes the need for shoes or socks.
Loungaroo also doubles as a pillow when it’s rolled up.
It’s the brainchild of Eric Hoffman from Austin, Texas.
Eric has launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring his travel hack to life.

The plane ride was uncomfortably cold so I decided to create the Loungaroo
He developed the idea after a trip to Australia in 2014.
Eric said: “The plane ride was uncomfortably cold, and the airline blanket didn't help, especially thinking about how dirty it was.
“So I decided to create the Loungaroo.”
The Kickstarter campaign has raised more than $7,000 (£5,727) of its $10,000 (£8,181) goal with just under than two weeks left to go.
Loungaroo has been launched on Kickstarter and will retail for around £40 if successful

Eric will begin the manufacturing process in late November to process orders by spring.

The NOMATIC Travel Bag has been dubbed the ‘most functional travel bag ever’, with dozens of compartments to store your items.
