Clothing Arts, manufacturers of the aptly named “Pickpocket Proof Pants” have a really awesome looking jacket up on Kickstarter right now. The Cubed Travel Jacket is a waterproof shell with a bunch of pockets to keep your stuff safe from the elements and prying hands. As they describe it, the Cubed Travel Jacket is a… “…4-season jacket combining distinctive style, innovative pocketing and an eVent DVStorm membrane, the most technically advanced waterproof/breathable fabric in existence. The Cubed Travel Jacket is the one jacket you will never want to leave home without. It's the culmination of years of development and offers more pockets and features than any other waterproof shell available on the market today. A great waterproof shell is your best friend on the road, whether you’re in the city or the mountains. If you've traveled in one, you know what we're talking about. However, waterproof shells were born in the outdoor industry, which means they’ve been traditionally designed for extreme weather protection during specific outdoor activities like mountaineering. So shells are made with the pockets placed to stay out of the way of a harness and shoulders wide enough for swinging ice axes. This is great if you’re dangling hundreds of feet above a glacier, but impractical for daily life. So we chose the most practical and beautiful pockets in the jacket world: Twin Napoleons. But with a twist… Our patent pending twin Napoleon INT/EXT PKTS (Interior/Exterior accessible pockets) allow you to access essential items without undoing the main zipper. Something we wished we had when attempting to retrieve a wallet or phone from our jackets during rainstorms… We designed the pocketing on the Cubed Travel Jacket™ to accommodate everyday life, while retaining the advancements of technical waterproof materials. With 8 pockets total, you’ll have all the carryability you need to go anywhere. The jacket is fully taped-seamed, which means every exterior stitch is backed by a line of waterproof tape to form a total seal. We have years of experience designing articulated patterns to facilitate complete freedom of movement, without the bulk you'll find in other technical shells. Go ahead and stretch, it feels great. This looks like a great jacket with many great features. There are still some early bird positions available and they're already over half way to their goal.
