Ski & Boarding You still want to talk on the slopes. Not all you colleagues/ clients / friends know you are away, so the trick is to keep in touch without your hand turning to an icicle half way down the slope – cue “wearable technology” – O’neill have the Hub jacket and Burton have Bluetooth in their latest range – perfect for the boarders who need directions to the best restaurants / bars on the slopes
A fabric keyboard (in the arm) and built-in speakers in the helmet means warm hands and ears. Boarder can connect to MP3 player and to mobile phone via Bluetooth. Snowboarder is happy. The end. Oh yes, and its good for skiers too.
Select Burton jackets will feature a mobile phone and MP3 pocket which will store your gadgets while you concentrate on carving up the piste. With a control pad on the sleeve for answering calls and changing MP3 tracks, “wearable” technology might just catch on. The hood of the jacket will have removable headphones to keep wiring from getting in the way. Just use your Bluetooth mobile phone. |
