Travel Light

The JakPak is a waterproof jacket that turns into a sleeping bag/tent.

“It’s loaded with features, suited to three seasons of camping (spring, summer, and fall). The jacket itself is breathable and waterproof—it even has a routing system for iPod cords. Inside, extra fabric in the lining can be unfurled, to create a sleeping bag. There’s then another large flap, integrated into the back, that converts the sleeping bag into a one-person tent. The jacket interior even contains a mosquito net. Granted, the confined space might take some getting used to, but this is pretty genius for overnight hikes where packing tent poles and the like seems excessive. Or for long sojourns across America, while you’re riding the rails, eating beans from a can.”
