-have the tent set up? then you don't have a coat.
-have stuff in the backpack? How the hell will you carry it if you need the coat.
-using the coat? then you cant carry shit like eg. sleeping-bag.
The concept is flawed, you CAN'T usefully combine camping equipment like you can make a phone that is a PC, GPS, stereo and a camcorder all-in-one. it doesn't work that way, its a gimmick!
I don't recommend down for a snowboarding / ski jacket. Like Lam said it gets hot as balls. Even down into the teens and negative temps you will get hot and sweat. Then you play the fun game of trying to cool down, but you over compensate and get too cold. Then you try to warm back up, but get too hot! Then you try to cool down but....yea, this has happened to me before.
@marm0lade: I have a sweet shell with down liner from patagonia. It comes out when we're talking like 15 degrees or below, and even then, with just a base layer underneath. Otherwise, its like 5 layers with the usual shell system.
Brian Lam, don't take offense to this but everytime I see a picture of you, I burst out laughing. lol there's just something about you, you look like you should be a cartoon character hahaha and I mean that in the nicest way possible
@Jewel Loree: But even if you had a snuggie, would you use it in public? The only place to use this thing is in public, whereas with a snuggie you could get away with just using it on your couch.
Not that I would advocate buying either of them, but I see your point!
@Curves: yes, we're not in enough danger in everyday life with asploding chairs and cell phones. let's put a hot coal inside a jacket!
but really, that sounds like a great idea. maybe lets go with a ceramic heating element. or one of those cold solder tips, that heats and cools instantly.
Decent idea but a pain in the ass to blow up I bet. I could see applications for a quickly inflating one with an accelerometer that would act as an airbag or something. Or maybe a floating device to keep your head above the water.
"Fittingly, it comes in sizes up to 4XL for the portly gentleman planning to go out on the town and embarrass himself and his family."
I assume by 'family' you mean the 44-year old guy wearing the 4XL version of this jacket will embarrass his mother and father while they're eating at the Cracker Barrel, while he's taking a break from living in their basement as a grown man. Because there's no way the guy wearing the 4XL version of this is going to have a wife and kids.

"You pretty much nailed it on the head. "
no pun intended???

"I don't know if I would be comfortable sleeping in a tent that so closely resembles stretched penis foreskin. "
Ok, penis foreskin is out - which begs the question: which kind of foreskin were you looking for?

Also, check your right shoulder. Seems that some caked bear vomit was left unnoticed.
