Ideas: Transformer Motorcycle Jacket - Great Idea 1 August 2012   Author: Mike Werner   Location: Travelling Here's an idea that should be picked up by the big motorcycle clothing manufacturers. Some enterprising and smart guys dreamed up the Alomar . The Alomar is a motorcycle jacket that when not in use, transforms into a backpack! The situations you need this are multi-fold. Many of us go out riding in the summer, wearing our helmets, gloves, bringing cameras, phones, etc. Once you've reached your destination, you'll either need to leave your helmet on your motorcycles (not a good idea), and unless you've got the storage space of a Honda Gold Wing, you'll need to chain it to your bike. Gloves do fit in smaller storage spaces, but you're still faced with walking around with bits & bobs. The Alomar motorcycle jacket is a full-fledged jacket; lightweight (4 lbs), water resistant and padded with armor. So you can use it for what it is intended to be... riding your motorcycle. But once you stop riding because you've reached your destination, take off the jacket and turn it into a backpack. The jacket has ample enough pockets, some of them big enough to fit a portable PC and a helmet. This way, at the destination, you can walk around like everyone else, not with a motorcycle jacket wrapped around your waist. Just watch the video at the bottom link. The Alomar project is currently looking for crowdfunding at Fundable. You can back the project by donating money, in turn, depending on the level of funding, you can get this product cheap, or even more interesting rewards. If you're interested in funding this project, better hurry since they're almost out of time. And remember, you can start already by donating $1....
