Ever get lost in a euphoric off-piste blaze of snow and emotion only to emerge truly lost somewhere on the mountain? Good, the NavJacket is for you. The GPS equipped jacket from O’Neill is the aftermath of a partnership with MyGuide. The Gore-Tex jacket features integrated audio in the hood and a display in the sleeve which shows your speed, updated weather forecasts, and moment and distance to après-ski. A “friend finder” operate helps track your new “friends” faraway after the slobbering begins. All the crucial tech bits about communication, controls, and

that flexible display (not to mention the price!) are still lost. No worries, it’s not due for another 9 months as part of O’Neill’s Fall/Winter 2008/2009 collection. ‘Til next you’ll have to rely upon your keen sense of gravity to get you to the bottom of the hill.
