Wearable foldout map and document holder

Abstract

A Wearable Foldout Map and Document Holder (the “invention”) for storing a map or reference document while engaged in activities, such as skiing. The invention provides the user a way to reference a map without removing gloves and without risking loss of the user's wallet, keys and other items normally stowed in jacket pockets. The invention comprises a base member and an enclosure flap that are pivotally attached. The enclosure flap may be selectively secured to the base member to form an enclosure. A folding document carrier is attached to the enclosure flap and base member. When folded, the folding document carrier is contained within the enclosure formed between the enclosure flap and base member. When opened, the user may reference a map through the transparent upper surface of the folding document carrier. Adjustable straps allow the user to wear the invention or attach it to their personal effects.
