Today, I was mostly.....bored .
And then a parcel arrived .
Inspired by Reg's legendary gaffer tape bottle cage I was compelled to put the contents to good use, for the benefit of the planet and mankind.

Behold: the B-Air Wear Whiffbubble recycled ultralight gilet .
The garment benefits from:
- The "RatherLight" design concept.
- Engineered from 100% recycled "landfill" fabric.
- Gaffertape (TM) fastening system ensures an optimal fit to your individual body style.
- Insulated "protein pocket" maintains the contents at ambient temperature.
- Dire emergency flotation option (Warning! Garment may not float ).
- Built-in reserve air supply, in case of shortness of breath (Warning! Contents may not be safe to breathe ).
- Designed to complement our "Binliner" waterproof garment range.
Here at B-Air Wear progress never sleeps and we're already working on our range-topping gilet - the Whiffbubble Helium .

Re: B-Air Wear "Whiffbubble" recycled ultralight gilet
I have one question please Pete??
Does it only work with PlanetX jerseys or could it be modified to work with other lesser undergarments...
How much?? (Sorry I know that's 2) Or do you have a blueprint/pdf instructional file

Superb that is Mr G! I'd like a sale-or-return test on our next BaM please.

Amazeballs, Pete. Brilliant. And should you ever find yourself in a sinking packraft, it will double as a life preserver (as long as you use that expensive waterproof gorilla tape, of course)
I'm just going outside ...
Re: B-Air Wear "Whiffbubble" recycled ultralight gilet
Not sure which is better, the functionality of the product or the professionalism of the model showing it off. Can't help feeling it may double up as a comfortable pillow too (the gilet, not the model )
Got to worth crowd-funding to get it into production....

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Re: B-Air Wear "Whiffbubble" recycled ultralight gilet
Thanks chaps, I'm flattered .
Shaf - Freestyle it . I wouldn't want to constrain your creativity, but I find Planet X products complement B-Air Wear garments perfectly .
The cost? It's priceless. Or worthless. One or the other.
Tim - Packrafts, now there's a thought. And I must start saving the bubble wrap for the matching range of "Placebo" lifejackets.

If you were marketing it as the B-Air Wear Airbag then I'd interested, as I had a little lie down on my BAM this morning - an unintentional one, not the one for the BAM.
But as that doesn't seem to be in the list of features..... I'm out
