The streakers, flashers, and proud displayers of crack of the world will probably take offense at The Undercover, but for the rest of us, a portable changing room that carries our change of, or changed-out-of, clothes as a backpack when we're not changing could be a very welcome addition to athletic pursuits and summer fun.
The Undercover pulls into a drawstring sack made of quick-drying, sweat-wicking, anti-microbial fabric for toting around the clothes and gear you don't need right now. When it's time to change out of swimwear, sweaty hiking clothes, or cycling lycra the backpack unravels into a roomy tube whose drawstring secures around the waist or, for women, around the neck, to provide coverage as you wriggle out of what you don't want to wear and into what you do. Without concern that the towel is gonna drop, or some kid and his mom are gonna to pick your tree for their whizz station at the exact wrong time. A zippered side opening provides additional access to the lower half of The Undercover to help finagle underwear and bottoms into / out of place.
The Undercover portable changing room comes in black, blue, and gray colors. Maker The Undress says one size fits most.

Batman Backpack
I guess since the Dark Knight Rises motorcycle suit pretty much congeals itself to the body of whomever puts it on with nary a pocket to spare, UD Replicas figured they better come out with some sort of supplemental storage...

Human Burrito Blanket
A couple of giant Human Burrito Blankets will make sure your Tortilla Baby knows who Mommy and Daddy are. At 5' in diameter, I'd be able to roll up one fine bean, cheese, rice, and man meat burrito in this flour tortilla...
Cocoon Go Go Gadget Pack
Geez, here's a backpack that has as many fancy names associated with it as it does fancy pockets for holding gadgets. Organization brand Cocoon (that's #1) has released its SLIM (#2) tech backpack with MacBook Pro (#3)...
