This company make what they describe as:

"The world's first all-in-one waterproof jacket, tent and sleeping bag".

Discuss.

I think I've seem a similar idea before, and i think it was military issue...... no idea where tho.....

I can see some contortions going on when a midnight call of nature takes you on a cold rainy night!

Seems to me that the company fail to realise that a good number of folk who live, work or play in the outdoors prefer to have a far greater flexibility to their waterproofs and sleeping arrangements. This simply does not offer that.
As ever, I look forward to being corrected on this but for now, I think it looks daft.

I'll go and perch on my fence again.

Its yet to be seen if they are any good or not so I'll reserve my judgment as such. However, what I really do like is companies like this who are prepared to take a risk and innovate. If it's been done before for military use then fair enough not so unique but what they have done is attempt to bring an interesting product to "out door consumers". and companies like these sometimes do get it right and have a real hit on their hands and sometimes don't but I for one say good on em, I like to think it will work or take off we'll see.

May be another thread of innoavtive outdoor products that have been hits or howlers might be fun?

I'd start with

Popup tents
Honey stoves

Question is Hits or howlers?

Yes, they could do with happier models for a start.

Perhaps they are not getting paid enough?

They do look intent!
