Prayer Mate Jacket is a 2-in-1 convertible product that combines a jacket and a prayer mat. The main goal of developing this product is to ensure the convenience of Muslim travelers and to enable them to perform their prayers anywhere suitable while travelling with the existence of this product. The travelers can be fashionable with the usage of the jacket while at the same time can use it as a convertible prayer mat. Consequently, it will free up lots of space in their luggage.
