Technology: That's A Wrap: New DuPod Provides The Warm (And Dry) Fuzzies

The Dupod!!!

BROOKFIELD, IL. -- It's like a blanket. It's like a sleeping bag. But it's better.

Athletique, Inc., a Chicago-based apparel and accessory company, has introduced the DuPod, the latest addition to the MyPod family of products.

It's named the DuPod because it's double layered, with a waterproof nylon Taslan layer on the outside and soft, warm fleece on the inside.

It's called the DuPod because it has dual functionality -- for use as a wrap at outdoor events in the rain or snow, or for use as a sleeping bag.

Like the MyPod, there are no zippers, bags or separate straps. Use the simple closures to wrap your entire body, including your feet, then simply roll it up, wrap the attached strap around it and carry it by the attached elastic loops.

The Mini, Biggie, Grande and Mucho sizes also come complete with a detachable hood. The Teenie and Tiny sizes offer a great, easy-to-use cover up for taking small children out in inclement weather.

"The MyPod product line is so versatile, we see it having virtually unlimited potential," said Athletique CEO Terry Cawley. "The DuPod offers the consumer another option, with a product both warm and waterproof. It functions as a blanket wrap or a sleeping bag, with the same great design elements of the Original MyPod and the Terry MyPod."

The opening in the middle, coupled with the easy closures, gives it a great advantage over traditional designs. The unique configuration also makes it versatile for users of all shapes and sizes.

Athletique, Inc. is a privately owned corporation, headquartered in the Chicago suburbs with manufacturing in Chicago and Thailand. It provides classic clothing, sportswear, athletic wear and accessories to individual consumers, teams and organizations through two web sites, independent agents and retail partners.
