Small, light, and designer for travel. Plus, I started the company that makes it.
I can wear the SDs every day. They're much lighter than jeans, repel water and stains, and can take a beating. They are soft and comfortable making them perfect for long flights.
I'm a member because I can skip the customs lines when I return to the US after a long trip. The last thing I want to do is to stand in another line after a 10+ hour flight.
Size and portability. The Macbook Airs lets me work on the road. With the Kindle, I can feed my reading addiction without carting around a library's worth of books.
Brainstorming on long flights and taking notes while I'm exploring.
I only have one. Jeremy and I bought matching ones in a tiny store in Budapest during the trip that inspired our company.
