Hideaway jacket by Unchartered Supply Co

From hiconsumption.com: the Hideaway jacket by Unchartered Supply Co looks much like your normal packable nylon windbreaker at first, but on closer inspection users will find it is covered in little exterior pockets. Those are built to be filled up with dry leaves, newspapers, or whatever else you can scrunch up and throw in for insulation. Not only is this capable of keeping your warm at a moments notice, but thanks to the waterproof treatment on the exterior of the material, it will keep you dry as well. All things said this very well could be the smallest but warmest jacket you have ever owned. Prices are set at $50.
