US sports apparel firm O'Neill has consistently
supplied outdoor clothing with integrated smart functionality.
For example, formerly known as the HUB, the
H3.Series Entertainment & Communications Jacket, features an iPod
compatible entertainment system that can be controlled by the soft touch
remote controls on the left hand sleeve. A Bluetooth module stationed in
the chest pocket and the microphone in the jackets collar enables
hands-free calling. A standard headphone jack is incorporated into the
chest pocket and allows the rider to use their own headphones.
O'Neill now also supply the
NavJacket - a GPS
navigation integrated into a high performance Gore-Tex jacket. The
NavJacket is a collaboration between O’Neill’s Wearable Electronic group
and MyGuide (www.myguidegps.com) a company delivering GPS navigation

.
There are two ways the GPS guidance is provided;
either via a display (OLED) on the sleeve or via voice guidance via the
headphones integrated into the hood of the jackets. Current speed,
up-to-date local weather forecasts, and in-depth details about route,
such as distance and time have all been incorporated into the flexible
display on the sleeve of the jacket.
