逆天機場夾克 讓你將行李全部穿在身上大綱
Designed to help frequent flyers bypass airport baggage queues, reduce baggage fees and virtually eliminate the risk of lost luggage, this modular Airport Jacket features 14 pockets and two detachable "pocket panels" that fit around 15 kilograms of luggage.
爲了幫助經常坐飛機的乘客避開托運行李的長龍，節省行李費，並有效地降低行李丟失的風險，組合式“機場夾克”設計了14個口袋、兩個可以容納15公斤行李的可拆卸“口袋布塊”。"With airlines beginning to charge for overhead carry-on baggage as well as severely restricting baggage allowances for the low fare economy traveler, my partner and I have designed a modular jacket that allows you to wear your laptop, tablet, two pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans, five t-shirts, a jumper and an SLR camera," designer Claire Murphy explains.
設計師克萊爾?墨菲稱，“由於航空公司開始對超重的手提行李收取費用，並嚴格限制經濟艙旅客的行李限重額，我和我的愛人設計了一款組合式夾克，它可以讓你隨身攜帶筆記本電腦、平板電腦、兩雙鞋、一條褲子、5件T恤以及一件套頭衫和一臺單反相機。”"It totals 14 deep pockets, including eight pockets at hip length, 11 pockets at three-quarter length and 14 pockets at full length. It includes two detachable pocket panels, and a carry-on size duffle bag."
“這件夾克全身上下共有14個大口袋，長度齊臀時包含8個口袋，大半身長度的夾克包含11個口袋，長度最長時包含14個口袋。夾克包含兩個可拆卸的布塊以及一個大小可隨身攜帶的行李袋。”
Claire and Benke Murphy came up with the idea for the Airport Jacket while traveling home with their newborn child. They had so much extra carry-on luggage, because of the baby, that the airline tried to charge them $140 for it, more than the cost of their tickets.
克萊爾和本基?墨菲帶着他們剛出生的寶寶回家時在路上想出了“機場夾克”的點子。由於帶着嬰兒，他們的隨身行李超重太多，航空公司因此要向他們收取140美元的超重費，這比他們的機票還要貴。So they had to put clothes, gadget chargers, diapers and toys into their pockets, until they were just over the weight limit. They dodged the tax, but everything was sticking out of their pockets and it was a pretty uncomfortable plane ride. That's when they decided that there was a massive need for a solution to this problem, and the idea for the Airport Jacket was born.
所以他們不得不把衣服、小充電器、尿布以及玩具裝進口袋裏，直到剛好達到超重限額。雖然他們不用繳納超重費了，但是這趟飛行相當的不舒服，所有東西都從口袋裏冒了出來。於是他們認爲非常有必要解決這個問題，“機場夾克”的點子就此誕生了。"Wearers need simply slide their luggage into the jacket pockets when checking in and boarding the flight, and once safely off the plane the jacket can easily be unzipped and transformed into a duffle bag capable of holding both the jacket plus all items in the pockets," Juice Promotions Australia, the company behind this unique product, claims.
這件奇葩夾克的生產商Juice Promotions Australia稱，“穿着者只需要在辦理登機手續和登機時將他們的行李放進衣服口袋裏，安全着陸之後，就可以輕鬆將外套壓縮並改造成一隻行李袋，提着衣服和口袋裏所有的行李。”However, people have been raising questions about the utility of the Airport Jacket, specifically the nuisance of going through security checkpoints with it. They are arguing that having to take out all the gadgets and then putting them back into the pockets is not worth the few tens of dollars you save on a checked luggage. But Benke Murphy claims that they did not have any problems with that during the testing period.
然而，有人對機場夾克的實用性始終存在懷疑，特別是它在過安檢時帶來的不便。他們認爲，要省下幾十美元的行李託運費你就必須把所有小玩意兒從口袋裏掏出來再裝回去，這樣太不值得。但是本基稱，他們在測試階段過安檢時沒有遇到任何麻煩。"Walking though airport security is not an issue. The Airport Jacket only needs to be worn when checking in and at the boarding gate," he said. "When passing airport security, items that need to be taken out of the Airport Jacket are usually a laptop and electronics, which you can easily pull out. Airport security are not looking at how you store your luggage, they are checking the contents of your luggage so we have not experienced an issue as long as you follow guidelines for carry-on luggage."
他說，“過機場安檢不是問題。你只需要在辦理登機手續和登機時穿上‘機場夾克’。通過機場安檢時，一般只需要從口袋中拿出筆記本電腦和電子產品，這些東西很容易取出來。機場安檢不會管你如何存放行李，他們檢查的是行李中的物品，所以我們從來沒遇到過麻煩。你只要遵守手提行李的有關規定就可以了。”The makers of the Airport Jacket are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, trying to raise $AU100,000. But things aren't going that great. They've only raised $AU3,675 so far, although they still have 37 days to go, so it's definitely still doable. And even if this fail, they may still find a way to get it to market.
最近，“機場夾克”生產商在Kickstarter網站上發起了一項衆籌活動，試圖籌集10萬澳元。但是事情進展的並不順利。他們目前只募集到了3675澳元，不過他們的衆籌活動離結束還有37天，所以絕對還是有希望的。而且就算這次失敗了，他們仍然可以另闢蹊徑。
