This work is a proposal for a new way of garment construction in the field of transformable outdoor gear. Inspired by the need of adapting towards changing weather conditions, the project aims to develop alternative transforming mechanisms for multifunctional hiking garments based on biomechanical studies as well as body mappings in order to replace the commonly used layering-system of clothes and therefore increase the value of single outdoor garments. The project supports the idea that user interaction and multifunctionality lead towards appreciation and an extended lifespan of single garments. The result is a series of 5 garments that each suggest new transforming features in relation to various functions.
