I ask you, ladies and gentlemen (because I know both of you read this blog even if you keep mum about it much of the time) what exactly is the point of this new device I found from Mercedes-Benz called the Airscarf?
The Airscarf is actually about what it sounds like, in that it’s a heater port that’s up near your neck, and is designed to blow a continuous stream of warm air down and around your neck. Like a scarf made of air. Air. Scarf. Airscarf.
I mean, I understand that it’s Mercedes-Benz. It has a reputation for luxury surpassing most others and those it doesn’t surpass outright it’s in direct competition with. But a hot air port designed to blow hot air around your neck? I know from experience that, most of the time, I wind up shutting my car heater off after a few minutes anyway because that dry heat on my face gets almost painful after a while. But to have it blowing constantly around my neck?
That’s one gadget I’d love to be able to shut off after a while, Mercedes luxury or no.
