Traveling in the winter is the worst. Trying to juggle scarves, gloves and clunky boots at security is a headache, and the alternative of being freezing en route to the airport is not better. And if the climate at your destination is different from the one you’re leaving? Hello, jam-packed luggage!

 

But there’s at least one way to make the great struggle of how to manage your winter coat a little easier. Tumi’s Patrol Travel Puffer Coat is warm, durable, waterproof and folds up into a small neck pillow. What could be better than a coat when you need one, and an easy-to-carry pillow when you don’t?

 

Made of nylon, the jacket is light to begin with. Weighing in at just 1.6 ounces, it’s filled with down to keep you warm and loaded with external and internal pockets to keep your important items safe. It’s available in black, red, and gray — nothing too fashion forward, but solid colors that will hold up to wear.

 

But let’s get to the best part. To turn the coat into a pillow, roll it up towards the collar and fold it into the zipper pouch. It’s literally that simple. Easier to carry, perfect for slipping around your neck on a long flight and you could slip it into your bag if your destination isn’t frigid. The coat doesn’t come cheap, but it is a great investment for those who travel frequently.
