I'd Wear It: Winter Jacket With Integrated Goggles In Hood

October 19, 2012 / big brother can't see me now!, cold, different strokes for different folks, expensive, goggles, googles or goggles, i half want it and half like wearing scarfs (i'm a little frou-frou), i really do kind of like that, i would wear that, jacket, space ranger, staying warm, sure why not, winter

This is the $424 Matt Nylon Hooded Down Jacket. It has a vented hood with integrated goggles (plus a sweet ass pom-pom on top!). Not only will you look cool, but you won't lose any precious body heat out of your uncovered face and neck. Just don't burp in there after eating or you might vomit. I suppose you could also use it for a bank robbery but if you already spent $424 on a jacket you should probably save the bank robbing for someone poorer. Don't be greedy.

Hit the jump for a closeup of the hood and goggles.

Thanks to Keith M, who wraps his head in scarfs and looks out of two toilet paper tubes and kind of looks like a Tusken Raider.

  • Beat Him With His Own Arm!: Wampa Arm Ice Scraper
    November 21, 2012
    This is a $25 Severed Wampa Arm Ice Scraper from ThinkGeek. It looks like a wampa arm, but no wampas were harmed in the making of the product. OR WERE THEY? I could tell you no humans were harmed when I made coffee in the breakroom this morning, but I know for a fact I hurt ... / Continue →
  • PUMP IT TILL IT EXPLODES: Inflatable Winter Jackets
    October 29, 2012
    The Klymit Ulaar Jacket is a jacket that has a bunch of air pockets that can be inflated a la Reebok Pumps. Allegedly they help keep you warm, but I couldn't reach my weather wizard on the crystal ball this morning so I have no idea if that's actually true. I think he's busy b... / Continue →

    Hammacher Schlongmeister, purveyor of the utterly ridiculous, is selling a gas-powered snowboard this year. Because, you know -- shit, beats me. This is the gas-powered vehicle that combines the thrill of riding a snowmobile and the freedom of a snowboard, enabling you to sur... / Continue →

    yeah its looks cool but its completely impractible what are you supposed to do breath through a straw and plug your nose? goggles fog...still kinda want one though

  • BrianRommel

    lose the puffball

  • I'm just gonna get some panty hoes and some tanning bed goggles.

  • Ah, finally suitable costumes for my henchman....

  • Get rid of the pompom and the colored stripes and it would look pretty cool. It might even be somewhat practical if you lived somewhere with cold winters...

  • Y'know, if it wasn't for the bobble, the whole "done up" look would be kind of creepy. Well done, coat designers for defusing that situation!

  • Well put, except I've never heard it called "bobble" before.

  • I think "bobble" may be a UK only term (as in Bobble Hat &c.), in that case. Personally I prefer it to "pom-pom" but that might just be me.

  • It's sort of cool but it would look better without the pom-pom. Plus it's way too expensive for my bank balance.

  • Tusken Raiders don't belong in the snow. >:\

    Very nice suit for riot gaz, ad on filter on the back and go for!

  • FAKE!!!!

    This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

    This is exactly like the scene from the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja found a bunch of slaughtered tusken raiders, Baja thought it was the sand people, but Max thought the blast marks were too accurate. However the storm troopers proved to be wildly inaccurate marksmen too......

    DAISY OMG I REMEMBER YOU FROM LIKE WHAT- 1-2 YEARS AGO I MISSED U OK.

  • Leonidas Argidisouvlaki

    DAISY LIVES!!!!!!!!! Too bad that this stoopid "sign up to comment" system has driven out most of the people who are cool enough to remember Daisy (hence all the dumb thumbs down). In related news, has anyone ever seen Daisy and Naas in the same room together?

  • BrianRommel

    I remember Daisy. Although It took me until recently to realize these post were coming from the same person and was not a Geekologie meme from multiple people. I never paid attention to the name. I ended up doing a couple myself.

  • JJtoob

    Oh I remember Daisy, just don't remember her being Daisyngton lol so you know what I say? FAKE!!!

  • Forgive me if I'm wrong but are tusken raiders and sand people not the same thing?

  • BrianRommel

    I think you missed the joke.

  • matt

    i want one so bad where do i get one at?

  • zalando has them. or check out the "schott tundra" jacket listed on ebay UK right now (ships globally)
