Finding the spot. So you’re planning a romantic picnic for your chosen one. Where’s the best place to go? Be creative. Think of what a place might mean to you both personally. Find somewhere away from the crowds. Just the two of you. No traffic, no screaming children, no music to be overheard. Perhaps a view, by the seaside or in the deep, dark forest.

Before you know it you’ll have covered...

So we thought we’d design a PACMAT you can actually wear. It can go on over anything, even a rucksack. The adjustable hood fits over a hat.

Or reverse it for a comfortable, dry seat for four people. Perfect for any walking...
