Versatility is the key word used in the first line of the Convert's product description.
Removable sleeves and the resulting thermal gilet, explain this well. The fact that the sleeves roll up small enough to fit in one pocket is great.
This leaves a main pocket for food and a separate, zippered security pocket.
