The 'Empwr' water-resistant jacket is designed as a versatile piece of clothing that will enable a homeless person to maintain a more comfortable experience as they brave the outdoor conditions.
The 'Empwr' coat is crafted using Cordura fabric from Carhartt as well as repurposed automotive insulation that has been sourced from GM. The 'Empwr' coat converts from a traditional piece of clothing into a full sleeping bag when necessary. When the jack is not needed to be worn on slept in, it folds up into a shoulder bag for easy carrying.
The 'Empwr' water-resistant jacket is capable of being supported for a cost of $100, which covers the total cost of the jacket in order to get it to someone who truly needs it.
