Embodiments herein are directed to outerwear garments having an integrated suspension system that allows a user to carry the garment around the user's waist when the garment is not needed. One or more straps are provided that may be coupled to an interior surface of the outerwear. A single strap may extend around the body of the user, or, alternatively, multiple straps may be provided that are coupled to the outerwear and which may be coupled to each other to secure the straps. In various embodiments, the ends of the one or more straps may be coupled to one another to form a waist belt for attaching the outerwear about the waist of the user when the garment is not being worn. When the outerwear is no longer needed, for instance because of changing weather conditions or body temperature, the user may simply remove the outerwear and attach the garment around his or her waist using the waist belt suspension system, for instance by coupling two ends of the one or more straps, thus forming a belt around the waist of the user. |
