Alpargali Cargo Transformable Trench: 19 Pockets, Waterproof Shell, and Built-In Carry System

# What this coat is and who it's for Trench is a travel-focused trench coat that aims to replace a small bag by adding structured storage and weather protection. It's pitched at urban commuters and frequent travelers who want organized pockets, weatherproof performance, and a way to carry the coat itself when it's not being worn.

# Storage and organization At the center of the design is the 19-pocket CarryCore system. Pockets are arranged for quick access (cards, keys, earbuds), secure inner storage (wallets, passports, phones) and expandable lower compartments for bulkier items. The manufacturer frames the system as a way to eliminate the need for an additional bag by keeping essentials accessible and compartmentalized within the coat.

# Weather protection and materials The trench uses an AdaptiveShield 3-layer shell with these published performance figures: 15,000 mmH2O water resistance and 8,000 g/m² breathability. Construction is fully seam-sealed and includes a PFAS-free membrane. A lotus-inspired durable water repellent (DWR) finish adds surface moisture shedding. Sealed zippers and a water-resistant exterior are part of the package to protect contents in wet conditions.

# Carry and transform features When you don't wear it, the coat can fold into an integrated carry pouch or be slung across the back for hands-free transport. That built-in carry system turns the trench itself into a portable unit, which supports the coat's positioning as a substitute for carrying a separate bag during transit.

# Modularity and extras

# What the product materials and specs mean in daily use

• Seam-sealed construction and sealed zippers reduce the risk of leaks at seams and closures.

# Availability and campaign status The coat is being presented through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Early bird discounts are available through the campaign, and if the campaign proceeds as planned, worldwide shipping was projected around November 2026.

# Practical takeaway If you regularly carry a small bag for daily essentials and need a weatherproof outer layer, the Alpargali Cargo Transformable Trench bundles storage and protection into a single garment. Expect a focus on organization, rain protection and a compact carry option when you want your hands free.
