Utah-based company Coalatree's 'Kachula 2.0' is a sustainable sleeping bag that can be transported practically anywhere. The sleeping bag is large enough to work as a blanket but compact enough to turn into a small throw pillow. If there's rainfall when hiking, users can turn the sleeping bag into a wearable hoodie. The Kachula is also waterproof, odor-resistant and windproof -- making it great for the outdoors. Users can store items in a concealed pocket within the sleeping bag, which is ideal for picnics or the beach.
The company has already sold its first version of the Kachula successfully through retailers like Urban Outfitters and Amazon. With all these new updates, The 2.0 version of Coaltree's sleeping bag is likely to perform even better when it hits the market.
