Ever wished you could just camp out on whim? Now you can, thanks to JakPak, a waterproof jacket, sleeping bag and tent, all rolled into one!

Manufactured using urethane-coated ripstop nylon polyester, JakPak not only breathes well, but is also waterproof and weighs a maximum of 3lbs. Built with the same fire-retardant standards as tents, it is just as safe, though may not be as comfortable!

However, what it lacks in comfort it makes up in convenience - Simply zip up the jacket and take off on your trip. When fatigue overcomes you and you need a little break just unfurl the extra material that is cleverly stitched into the lining, step inside, pull up the zipper and voila, you have yourself a sleeping bag.

The spot too picturesque to leave? Simply pull out the portable tent and the rust resistant metal rods and you are good to go! The thoughtful design even incorporates storm flaps, mosquito netting, an iPod loop to help control iPod cording and, has room to store extra clothes.

While the $259USD JakPak can be used for camping it is also a handy item to have in case of emergencies and for those overnight waits for the next cool gadget or the coveted sports ticket. It would also be a perfect solution for the homeless.

Just a caveat though, the JakPak is only meant to be used during the spring and summer months so don't count on taking it along for your next ski trip! To order one or read more about this unusual apparel, check out : jakpak.fasttrackteam.com.
