Australia...... from the guy who won't take off his jacket fully even in 40 degree heat, its too practical.
What does that mean? Practical how? It is thick enough to defend against giant spider fangs? Or having an extra set of pockets?
Both.
While spider fangs aren't as big a problem in the CBD, there's other things like tree branches in the parks, or certain things people can carry or attach to their bags and bikes, that can be painful to brush against, though not necessarily harmful. It also acts as great cover up from the sun, which can be a big issue in the summer.
Pockets wise mine all have a minimum 6 pockets, and carry everything but my laptop around for me. Makes life a lot easier when I've got my wallet and phone in secure inside inner pockets that they're highly unlikely to fall out. Charging cables for various devices, charging bricks, glasses cases, utensils for lunch, handkerchiefs, lip balm, pens, pencils and paper, all able to be carried around and quickly accessed when needed. Saves carrying several bags around, which is less space, and less weight, and fewer things I might forget when leaving an area.
Temperature also isn't that bad if you leave it open, or at least if you're as close to skin and bones as I am.
But again, maybe I'm just nuts. That's also quite a possibility.
