Dezeen introduces us to the Fog-X, a recent invention of Swedish engineer Pavels Hedström.
Think of this invention as an early stillsuit design focused on the needs of people in cold, arid environments. The jacket breaks down into an emergency tent and a vapor collection panel that extracts drinking water from fog. It pairs with an app designed to help users locate foggy areas while in the wilderness--assuming that you can get signal. He successfully tested Fog-X in the Atacama Desert of Chile, which is one of the driest places in the world.
Hedström hopes that, when Fog-X arrives in the consumer marketplace, it it will be priced at about €400 ($438 USD).

A cheap tarp or plastic sheet will do the same thing for a lot less money.
