Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Transformable Jacket + Backpack + Pillow

— January 19, 2007 — Lifestyle
There is a new product being debuted at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Show in Salt Lake City. It is a jacket that can be transformed into a backpack or a pillow. Great for people on the go. The idea is the brainstorm of Carine Elen and will be receiving a granted patent in the coming weeks. Carine conceived the idea while on a family trip. After carrying coats for all the kids all day she quickly figured out a practical way for kids to carry their own coats. I really am eager to see this coat on store shelves. Keep your eyes on this product, I am sure it will be all the rage in no time. For more info on the product you can visit the Xip3 website.
