We’ve talked about the Travel Bag buddy organizer, the Cleansebot bacteria killing robot, and the SuperTank power tank charger, among others.

Today I wanted to talk a bit about the Whistler travel jacket – which bills itself as a self-healing windbreaker. It is currently on Kickstarter and you have only about a week left to back it (it expires on November 7th)
All Kickstarter / Indiegogo links in this post may pay me a commission if you boost the project through my link.
Whistler self-healing windbreaker features
My first question about the Whistler self-healing windbreaker was what did “self-healing” mean. It turns out that the jacket has a way to repair small puncture holes, allowing you to hike or off-road without worrying about getting your jacket ripped
Here are a few pictures of the Whistler windbreaker:

Here’s a video showing off some of the different options and features of the Whistler self-healing windbreaker
Whistler windbreaker backing levels and cost
The Whistler windbreaker is on Kickstarter and has currently raised over USD$117,000 from a goal of only about USD$50,000. Here are a few of the levels that you can back the project at
- $72 for one Whistler windbreaker
- $140 for two Whistler windbreakers
Again, here is the link to back the Whistler windbreaker – you have less than a week to back it before it expires and currently all orders are scheduled to ship in March 2020
