'The Undercover' is designed to function as both a public changing room and a backpack that holds personal items.

The product was designed for athletes, people who take part in team or water sports, or people who generally have [active lifestyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easyon-backpack). It functions as a [portable changing room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelter-wear) that can be unraveled and placed on the user's body and gives them the space to change in public while ensuring their privacy. When not functioning as a changing room, the product [converts to a backpack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-weigh-backpack) that can hold gear, clothing and even has space for water bottles.

This highly functional product is perfect for people who are often active or those who spend a significant amount of time at the beach.
