Top 3 Travel Hoodies for Sleeping on Planes: A Comprehensive Comparison

  • Written by The Times

Travel Hoodies Offer a Feeling of Comfort that Travel Pillows and Balled up Sweatshirts Often Miss Out On. Let’s Deep Dive Into What Makes These Travel Hoodies So Great For Plane Comfort, General Travel and Deep Sleep on Planes in and out of Australia

Everyone knows that sleeping and resting on planes during international flights is… well extremely difficult … but it is also extremely rewarding when done right. If you can sleep several hours straight on a plane seat, you can often avoid jet lag upon arrival. And who doesn’t want to avoid jet lag!

When traveling into and out of greater Australia, a good travel hoodie is as important as it gets, especially when it offers warmth, style, and of course; the ability for the traveler to have a good night’s sleep. In the following article we’ll be comparing the three most recommended travel hoodies for sleeping on long flights and what makes each of them different from the others. A couple of these travel hoodies were also popular on Kickstarter

The Sky-haven Travel Sloodie is perhaps one of the most viable companions that any regular traveler could ever dream of. ‘Sloodie’ apparently stands for Sleep Hoodie, as it should. This hoodie/travel pillow/compression blanket hybrid allows for adaptable features like a cushion tightening mechanism at the neck level so that the traveler can sleep as they choose. Adaptability is key with this hoodie.

One of the most remarkable features is the built-in neck pillows to either side of your neck, allowing for a gap at the back so that your neck isn’t pushed forward off the headrest uncomfortably, thus avoiding forward strain on your neck. A second equally important feature is the elbow rests built into the main body fabric of the hoodie, thus allowing the traveler to avoid elbow and arm contact with neighbor passengers.

The kangaroo front pocket to rest your hands and wrist is also invaluable for tired travelers.

The second travel hoodie on our list is the BauBax 3. 0 from Patagonia!

It is important to note Mobile Hoodie, or Travel Hoodie, comes in as a hybrid clothing for travelers. This is a travel hoodie that has been manufactured with 20 pockets. Some of the locations where the pockets are placed include on the arms, chest, and hips and waistband. The pockets coming in various sizes and shapes as well as being suitable for holding passports, water bottles etc.

Its greatest benefit is the inflatable neck pillow is located in the hood which provides head and neck support. It also houses an eye mask, gloves and even has a pocket for a blanket in the BauBax so nothing is left to chance.

If you are a traveler, who cares for the environment, then Patagonia R1 TechFace Hoodie is perfect for you. This hoodie is made of 100% recycled materials and is very comfortable to wear, being lightweight and very breathable as well as great to wear over other pieces of clothing. 

One of the things that you cannot find is the built-in pillow or an eye mask but one must admit that this item is very warm and windy, perfect for long flights or cold connections. The bonnet is fairly large and can be easily repositioned to fit well against the face; it can be quite comfortable to wear espeicially when lying down.

Conclusion

So when selecting which travel hoodie is suitable for sleeping and traveling on planes, then you need to consider what features are vital to you. Do you want to rest for long periods of time? Do you prefer lots of pockets and storage for valuable items? Do you want to avoid contact with your neighbors while you rest?

The Travel Sloodie is designed with built-in soft cushion neck pillows and a mesh hood and probably offers the most comfort for deep sleep, the BauBax 3. 0 offers ample storage and flexibility for use as well as the inflatable pillows. Among the benefits of the Patagonia R1 TechFace Hoodie is the use of environmentally friendly materials and the opportunity to wear it both in active and in calm movements. 

We hope this travel hoodie review is valuable for all travelers of all shapes and sizes!
