I might be crazy but this actually looks like a great thing for travel. Trying to sleep on a plane or in a car but it's too visually overwhelming? This + earplugs! It could also be useful if you're overwhelmed. Again, combine with earplugs and instant dark, quiet place. I know for me, having something covering my face makes me feel more secure (as long as I feel like I can breathe properly).
Then again, this would probably look stupid to anyone else.
On the other hand, when traveling, people care more about comfort than appearance most of the time anyway. Especially on long trips.
Am I absolutely stupid and insane or what?

Do NOT got on a plane wearing something like that over your head cuz you'll be thought to be a terrorist

Of course I wouldn't wear it over my head getting on the plane. I wouldn't see anything first of all, and I would look stupid. I was thinking about longer flights. Wearing it like a turtleneck to get on the plane, then when ready to sleep zipping it up all the way. Possibly letting the flight attendant know so they don't freak out.

I wouldn't wear it on a plane. Unfortunately someone may try to take advantage of you if they feel you are vulnerable.
