Pack with garment-conjoining extension pack

Abstract

A pack or backpack serves a dual purpose of carrying articles and offering a rapidly deployable protective garment for the wearer. The pack includes a main pack connected to a distal extension pack, with a garment concealed between them. The distal pack and garment may be simultaneously deployed by catapulting the distal pack over the wearer's head and onto their front torso to provide increased protective coverage and easier access to articles contained in the distal pack. The design of the pack provides quick access to protective garments that would otherwise take up storage room inside a compartment of a conventional pack, or be left behind when the conventional pack is carried.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A pack, comprising:
 a main pack having a surface;   a distal pack separable from the main pack and having another surface; and   a garment;   wherein the garment is configured to fully or partially physically conjoin the main pack and the distal pack, wherein the main pack and the distal pack are configured to conceal the garment between the respective faces, and wherein, upon separation of the distal pack and the main pack, the garment may be configured to cover over portions of the main extension pack and the distal pack.
