The idea of a jacket can be turned into a tent, a sleeping bag for migrants

Refugee migrants often have to travel a long way, and one of the big challenges for them is carrying so many essential belongings. Solving this problem, a group of 10 students and instructors at London's Royal College of Art (RCA) have created a jacket that can be turned into a sleeping bag or even a tent when needed. set

This jacket is made of Tyvek , very durable material but light in weight, hard to tear. The water can pass through the jacket, but only the water and the water Tyvek can stop. In addition, the jacket is also lined with Mylar , the insulation that keeps the body warm and less affected by wind / snow or fog. According to the inventors, this jacket basically uses cheap, relatively durable materials, but it is only temporary and can not be used for a long time.

About the design, this jacket extends beyond the knees and bulges out like a dress. When spread out, and pulling upward, we will have a sleeping pillow covered from head to chest, the hat spread out to make. At the bottom of the cloak is hidden underneath the fabric (which makes the shirt bulge out), it will help the shirt turns into a small hut when needed. The inside of the jacket also has large pockets to hold important items.

Currently, this jacket is still in the fundraising phase at Kickstarter, whose supporters will have to spend from $ 15. In the future, the inventors hope to launch a baby version, and the version is suitable for the cold weather of winter.
