Posted
by
We reported on this clever design of rain suit a few months ago, but sadly it failed to reach its goal. Now it’s back, and the makers claim the Funnell is better AND cheaper than before. It’s a backpack that can protect you from the sudden rain – a jacket that can be worn without removing the rucksack from your shoulder,…
