Flight Attendant Shopping: Xubaz
I’m always looking for products that will make traveling easier, so I was interested in Xubaz, described as a uni-sex accessory that will help travelers pack “wisely and light.”
It’s a piece of fabric, worn like a scarf, with hidden pockets that will allow you to keep everything handy. Passports, boarding passes, iPods, even your cell phone will fit. And the scarf will do double duty as a shawl or jacket, providing a little extra warmth.
My first thought was — This will never work, I’ll just leave lose the scarf, or leave it behind somewhere. I must not be the only person who worried about that, because there are detachable straps (called Xues) that hook the scarf to your clothes, leaving your hands free. This also means it’s not flapping around when you bend down or reach overhead, or in a windstorm. (Look closely in photo above.)
The best part about the Xubaz, at least from looking at the photos, is it really does look like just a scarf. This means that unsavory element of the world may just pass you by as not having anything of value.
The Xubaz comes in three lengths, two different fabrics, and a variety of colors. You can buy them online for $49.50.
I’d love to get a little more information about the Xubaz before placing an order, so if anyone out there has one, please leave your opinion about it in the comments.

I had been given a Xubaz scarf as an office gift and thought nothing of it until I went on vacation this summer. With 3 children under 10 years old my hands are full! The Xubaz allowed me to be organized not only while traveling but out to dinner and at the park. My husband joked that it was the most organized we’d even been on a trip. It saved lots of time bustling through my purse or his pockets.
The straps allow it to stay close to your body and you cant lose it (believe,me, I would have!)
All in all a great gig- only drawback is that mine is tan and I prefer the navy in the picture.
