These lightweight, reversible jackets sport the ultimate outerwear designs for the traveling man or woman. Made from strong and stylish materials, each side is suited specifically to different environments and associated lifestyles. In the women's version, both sides have water-resistant pockets to hold technology devices, like tablets and cell phones. The hand pockets are fleece-lined and the shape boasts a flattering, tailored fit. Finally, a [detachable, sleek hood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houdini-moonwalk-houdi) adds a functional and fashionable element to the jacket, with a built-in cushion for warmth and comfort during travel.

The men's convertible jacket is equally impressive, with the design able to turn into an over-the-shoulder satchel for warmer weather. Designed by [Anywhere Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anywhere-kneeling-chair), the reversible jackets are a worthwhile investment, providing a coat to bring on any trip, regardless of the location.
