Campers and hitch-hikers have more reason to cheer! An innovative Gatherer Jacket produced by Merrell is all set to hit the markets. What makes this waterproof transluscent jacket unique is its one-of-a-kind insulation technique that enables the user to stuff the innards with any insulation material that is close at hand– be it dry leaves, newspapers, pine needles or shredded paper. Zips passing throughout the Gatherer allows for this customized stuffing, all the while paving the way for some “creative recycling” of apparently useless objects. Besides giving the jacket a cool look, the transluscent nylon fabric provides the user with a variety of options that can well be built up into a personal style statement. Moreover, this creation by Merrell allows for modularity; the user can always adjust the insulating material at places of his/her own choice, according to the level of warmth needed. Priced at $99, the Gatherer Jacket is indeed a dream come true for all outdoor enthusiasts. A “warm” offer for sure!
