WORRIES AND UMBRELLAS LEFT BEHIND WITH PAK-A-ROO RAINGEAR BY OUTBACK TRADING COMPANY

No matter what the weather is outside, the wearer will be warm, dry and comfortable on the inside with the Pak-A-Roo packable raingear by Outback Trading Company.

The waterproof nylon raingear offers maximum protection against inclement weather. The lightweight, breathable fabric makes it a comfortable jacket that can be worn anytime and anywhere.

Best of all, when the sun is shining, the jacket can be simply scrunched up and stuffed into its own backpack.  When the Pack-A-Roo is worn as a backpack, hands are free and the silhouette is slim. The Pak-A-Roo’s versatility eliminates the unflattering bulk of tying a rain jacket around the waist. The Pak-A-Roo has several stowaway pockets. When worn as a jacket, the Pak-A-Roo’s inside center pocket can be used as a waterproof place to store maps, passports or documents. When worn as a backpack, the outside pocket can keep a camera, GPS, wallet and cell phone dry. Wilson King, president of Outback Trading Company, considers Pak-A-Roo packable raingear the most unique raincoat because it becomes its own backpack.  “It’s the ideal companion for travel, boating or shopping. It can be everywhere you are,” he says. 

The Pak-A-Roo is well designed from the inside out to provide ultimate wind and rain protection:

• 100 percent mini-ripstop nylon provides carefree durability
• Cinch waist for a fit that flatters
• Moisture-wicking mesh lining helps the wearer stay cool
• Machine washable for easy care
• Adjustable cuffs and hood provide a comfortable fit
• Snap-over storm panel provides additional wind and rain protection
• Back vents added for extra comfort and mobility
• Unisex sizes XS-XXXL

Your customer will never need to rely on the weatherman when he or she has a Pak-A-Roo or two. Keeping one in the car keeps one always prepared for whatever the forecast may bring. Outback Trading Company offers Pak-A-Roo packable raingear in many styles sizes and colors.
