Abstract:
A combination carrier pack and single upper torso outerwear garment is disclosed and taught. A pack member is provided to be secured around the mid-section of a person. The pack has a front portion, a back portion, first and second opposed end portions, and a closeable compartment defined therewithin. A mechanism for releasably closing and opening the compartment is also provided. A single upper torso outerwear garment is integrally connected within the closeable compartment of the pack. In order to be worn around the mid-section of a person, a belt member is associated with the first and second opposed end portions of the pack. In preferred embodiments, the belt members include interconnecting fastening mechanisms at their distal ends for size adjustment, and for removable attachment of the pack about the mid-section of a person. This combination allows the single upper torso outerwear garment which is integrally connected within the closeable compartment of the pack to enable the pack and belt members to releasably secure the garment about the mid-section of a person when the garment is worn by that person. This combination further enables the garment to be folded into the closeable compartment of the pack for storage to be carried in the pack about the mid-section of a person when the garment is not being worn by that person.
