What new article of clothing would you like to invent and how would you market it?

A jacket that would be composed of a fabric that allowed the wearer to control the temperature - something ideal for San Francisco's weird climate. One, that had a detachable hood and sleeves. It would be marketed as the "jacket of the future - that can be worn in any climate all year round". It would be light enough to fold and put into a small bag - like a raincoat. You wouldn't have to worry about layering or having to carry all your layers around with you. It would be waterproof and therefore you wouldn't have to carry an umbrella with you, in the case of fog or light rain.

I got lost in the Himalayas. I missed an easy landmark at 17,000 feet ( likely due to alttitude ) and figured if I followed the river i would find my way back. --Wrong. I ended up meandering about on a glacier in the dark. In the wee hours of the following day, after being lost for nearly 19 hours, the sherpas found me by my boot tracks. ...I learned there is nothing more dangerous than a man with a plan.
