All we know is that O’Neill Europe just announced “the launch of the NavJacket – a dedicated navigation tool integrated into a high performance Gore-Tex® jacket for the mountains”. In short? It’s a damn jacket with GPS capabilities, for those that wander around in the mountains.

It’s insane, I know, but really, what can be more cool than that? And, while on the mountains, it can really be a life saver. Here are some more details:

The NavJacket instead allows you to easily navigate through the mountains with the help of the integrated display on the sleeve and the audio instructions in the hood.

Simply enter your desired location and let the NavJacket guide you effortlessly down the slopes.

And it doesn’t just stop with navigation. Your current speed, up-to-date local weather forecasts, and in-depth details about your route, such as distance and time have all been incorporated into the flexible display sleeve on the jacket using the latest technology.
