WeatherWear: Raincatch Water Purification Raincoat

Some among us predict shortages of clean drinking water on the planet Earth in the not-so-distant future.

The collar of the coat captures the rain which is then passed through charcoal filters and a chemical purification system. Voila, drinkable water, which is stored around the shoulders and pockets of the coat.
