DIY Insulating Jacket

Via GearJunkie, $99, available in the autumn, but no mention of weight. I don't doubt that if it's light enough, the gram counters will jump on this concept, especially for those chilly autumn nights when there are leaves on the ground (or crisp packets on the side of the trail)...

"Merrell Apparel’s DIY Puffy Coat—This concept piece from Merrell Apparel is like a puffy down jacket, just without the “puffy” or the “down” parts. Indeed, the jacket comes as an empty shell, a semi-transparent white nylon piece with its insulating areas open and free. It is a blank canvas of sorts ready to be stuffed with whatever insulating items the wearer desires. Just zip open the long pockets and stuff in crumpled newspaper, dead leaves, Styrofoam packing peanuts, or whatever else. Anything light and fluffy—and colourful and cool—are candidate for insulating this customisable winter coat".
