When I was playing NERO (a boffer weapon LARP), I wore one for years as my first character. Not only is it all the things above (stylish, protective against the elements and concealing, as well as a pillow and blanket), but a dark cloak at night can be used for camouflage by dropping to a crouch and using it over the body. I also used it as a shield against weapons, something I got very good at to the frustration of many an opponent. And finally, I took a page from the Shadow, who wore a trailing cloak/trenchcoat (depending on just when he was being written), for misdirection. To purposely hang or flutter a large portion of it to the side. In dark light, many people would target in that direction and miss my body entirely. Not so good for spells in our game, but for weapons and ranged attacks...worked well. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Don</blockquote>
