The item 10 may also be used users while sitting on wheelchairs, couches, vehicles and planes among others to keep the lower and upper extremities of the user warm and dry. In the second condition, the item 10 can function as a cushion upon which a user can sit or rest. In this condition, the item 10 is also compact for storage.
