May 17 2007HideAway camouflage coats
These HideAway coats offer a unique way to hide in plain sight by turning into a variety of pre-shaped objects. Basically throw one on and - like the ancient ninja - you'll become invisible to your enemies. This is assuming, of course, that you're in the woods or a park or some other place where a giant rock wouldn't stand out. I get the feeling this wouldn't be terribly effective in the middle of a mall. Or, say, a Denny's.

These camouflage coats are as stealthy as hiding under a blanket. If anything they make it easier for your enemies to defeat you by wrapping you up tighter than a straight jacket. Good luck trying to free yourself while having the crap beaten out of you.

Looks like an excellent option for homeless people on the streets of N.Y.

My first thought was actually: "Why is that guy hiding under his trench?"
So much for stealth.

I don't get it, do they function as regular coats too? Or are they just like slipcovers? Because I can buy a slipcover and hide under it too. Or a trash can.
What are they supposed to be, anyway? They look like...hideaway camouflage coats.

Yes...because all rocks have feet...

Am I looking at the wrong pics or something. Nothing in these pics looks like a rock. One looks like a damn woman wraped in an ace bandage with her feet hanging out and the other looks like a child molester in a trench coat kneeling ready to pounce.
