RuckJack Plays Double Duty

The RuckJack has a split personality. It can be a basic rucksack or a lightweight jacket; you just have to decide.

With just one zip and two clips, the lightweight jacket converts into a useful rucksack. Made from 2000mm breathable and waterproof material, the RuckJack should be durable and good for general weather occasions.

May be it’s me, but I’m just not sure about the practicality of having a rucksack that can switch into a jacket or visa versa. It’s fine if you are using it to transport your stuff to a location and then you switch it to a jacket, but what if you need a jacket while getting to that location. What do you do with the stuff you were carrying in the rucksack, when you switch it to the jacket?

Concept is nice, just not convinced about the practicality.
