Where do you put your jacket when you don't need it? Bosideng has created a practical storage aid for each component of the 3-in-1 jacket: The outer jacket can be transformed into a shoulder bag, the inner jacket can be attached to the handlebars.

Winner of the ISPO Award 2024: The Easy Pack Easy Go 3-in-1 Functional Jacket from Bosideng.

This two-piece 3-in-1 functional jacket was developed for women and their modern lifestyle and is suitable for urban activities such as cycling and city strolls. The Chinese down jacket specialist has not only made sure that the two products work well individually or together, but has also found a solution for storing the jackets when they are no longer needed.

Multifunctional for cycling and urban activities

The Easy Pack Easy Go 3-in-1 Functional Jacket from Bosideng consists of a functional, waterproof and windproof hardshell jacket and a warming down jacket to wear underneath. Designed primarily for cycling in the city and other urban activities, the front length of the jackets is shortened to ensure legroom when cycling, while the rear length is adapted to keep the wind out and not cling to the bike saddle.

The outer layer has a waterproof zip and is made from Bosideng's proprietary bio-based fabric with a 100 per cent bio-based membrane, which has high breathability and excellent elasticity that does not restrict movement.

The down layer is filled with goose down that is certified with the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). It provides thermal insulation in the core area, while the Turbodry™ Oneway Moisure Transfer material on the back and under the arms ensures efficient heat, moisture and stretch management. This 3-in-1 jacket offers versatility in weather conditions from 5°C to 20°C.

The jacket consists of two separate jackets. Both can be stowed away innovatively.

Clever storage solutions

Bosideng has equipped the 3-in-1 jacket with an extremely clever function: After all, how do you stow the outer layer or both jackets when it has got warmer or the rain has stopped? For this situation, Bosideng has incorporated a hidden pocket in the outer jacket that allows the jacket to be transformed into a shoulder bag. If you only want to take off the down layer, it can be folded and attached to the handlebars. This small packable design in combination with the functional features makes the jacket an enormously versatile and flexible companion for many urban activities.

When developing the jacket, Bosideng focused on the needs of women.

Focus on women-specific design

The jacket was developed with women in mind. Attention was paid to a women-specific design and fit and the functionality was developed and tested together with women. The neckline was lowered so that the head can move comfortably and make-up does not smear. The seams on the back and sleeves are joined using ultrasonic welding technology to reduce friction on the body during physical activity. As a result, this garment can be worn close-fitting and is still comfortable.

The pockets of the outer jacket have a double opening and bidirectional zips to ensure easy access to the pockets of the inner jacket. The back pocket of the outer shell is designed for cycling essentials and doubles as a mini backpack for things like lipstick, mobile phone and wireless devices.

Finally, the minimalist design offers a classic look that is suitable for both the daily commute to work and leisure activities.

This convinced the jury:

  • Innovative construction of the jacket, which can be transformed into a bag
  • Integrated storage option for the down jacket on the handlebars
  • Well thought-out overall concept for women
  • Combination of innovative, sustainable materials
  • Modern, urban style

Statement from Bosideng:

"We believe that neither urban adventures nor outdoor explorations should be hindered by what we wear. What if we could transform clothing into a seamless extension of our activities? Driven by this idea, we are thrilled to introduce our 3-in-1 jacket, designed to empower consumers to dive into their favorite sports and activities as easily and fulfilling as possible."

What the jury said:

"Everyone knows the problem: where do you put the jacket when it gets warmer and the jacket is no longer needed? Bosideng has developed two innovative solutions that are surprisingly easy to implement and really well thought out."
