ISPO Award Winner 2024: 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.

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.

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.

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.
