Xpocket Jacket/Storage Sling/Pack

We’ve all been there - the weather looks good so you don’t take a jacket - then the weather turns on you and you wish that you had one. Or you take a jacket only to find out that you didn’t need it and had to tie it around your waist for most of the hike. Well, if you’re looking for a potential solution to this issue you might want to look at the Xpocket; a product that starts as a jacket and converts to a sling-pack or waist pack.
 
The Xpocket is a lightweight, breathable, waterproof pullover rain jacket that’s good for hiking, camping and other outdoor activities. It stores your stuff in such a way that you have direct access to it in both the pack configuration and the jacket configuration without changing the stuff’s location.
 
The Xpocket has pockets for your hands, a storm flap, water resistant zippers, an adjustable drawstring (at the waist of the jacket configuration), elastic/non-wicking cuffs for foul weather and an adjustable 2-inch nylon pack strap for durability and comfort.
 
We saw the Xpocket at the Great American Outdoor Show, but you can check out all the details about the Xpocket here:
