Merrell's new lightweight Gather Jacket helps hikers and climbers adapt to rapid temperature changes by filling pockets throughout the jacket with any found materials for increased insulation. It's nice to actually see this concept realized after years of student projects presenting similar solutions for helping the homeless survive cold nights.
Technical details:
- 100% Nylon
- Translucent, 30 Denier, high-tenacity fabric is lightweight, dry and comfortable
- Featuring Natulon environmentally friendly zippers made of 100% recycled material
- DWR finish provides great water resistance
- Concept design allows for multi-material, on the fly insulation with found materials of your choice
- Full length sleeve and body zips allow for adaptive insulation to help create an adjustable internal climate based on conditions
Retailing for just $99.00 US, you could definitely go a little crazy with your choice of insulation for the summer music festival circuit.

Good idea, but they should have integrated a ventilation system. The next generation should be more like a waterproof shell/wind runner that has the option to be insulated (don`t forget the vents).
