Abstract
An integrated assembly formed by a backpack that includes a bag having a front section to which shoulder straps are attached to form loops adapted to receive the arms of a wearer, and a raincoat having a rear panel whose upper section is joined to the front section of the bag, a separable front panel to permit the wearer to don the raincoat, and a pair of sleeves. In the passive mode of the assembly, the raincoat is folded to form a flat compact that lies against the front section of the bag and is joined thereto, the compact then being adjacent the back of the wearer of the backpack. In the active mode of the assembly, the compact is unfolded so that the raincoat then depends from the front section of the bag, the sleeves of the compact then being extended through the loops whereby when the wearer dons the raincoat and inserts his arms through the sleeves, the backpack is then carried over the raincoat.
