The slanket taught us there's lots of design left in the world of functional apparel... what's next?

Ever since Steph bought me a slanket, I haven't ever been cold at my desk. The slanket is a blanket with sleeves. You wear it like a robe. It's a blanket. It's a slanket! Somewhere along the way, some designers decided there was a lot more innovation left in this space. For instance...

Sometimes it's kind of cold and you want to do some work, but you're at the cafe and there's too much noise and distraction. Luckily, there's the Laptop Compubody Sock to the rescue.

Or sometimes its cold and you want to eat a sandwich. Voila, the sandwich eating ski mask.

What will they come up with next? More on these and other ingenious inventions over at sternlab.org, and detailed instructions on how to create the Compubody Sock at instructables.com.

It's not quite wearable. Well, not in public, anyway. But it is awesome.

Haha I know people buy slankets but I doubt they buy a sandwich-eating face mask!

This is one of those times where I'm disturbed, but can't look away. Especially the first photo!
