Sounds like a good idea at first. But what about packing the thing up? pad leak? Cleaning? different temp ratings. It's a messy idea.

The website says it's launching on Indiegogo soon, so I doubt the person who made it is raking in the cash. If anything the thing has probably been a money pit as the creator has to get prototypes made and refined in small batches.

While I'm all for people creating new things and exploring new ideas and ways of doing things, I have a problem with products that are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and are marketed to people who don't know any better. This will more than likely be, as mentioned above, a single use item at music festivals, or something that gets bought and used once or twice before its drawbacks become apparent and it ends up in the trash (probably after a couple of years sitting in the basement or garage).
