Everyone knows what a pain in the ass it can be to bring your cell phone on the hill. Answering a call mid-run is damn near impossible by the time you take off your gloves, open your coat, locate your phone and answer it. And have you ever taken a spill on your phone, causing you to not only worry about your phone but curse the bruise you just gave yourself in the ribs?
Well, I found this via CNet today: Swany Gloves. Swany’s g.cell glove is a ski/snowboard glove with a Bluetooth-enabled, adaptable cell phone inside. When you get a call, your wrist vibrates. Want to talk? The speaking and listening devices are integrated right into the palm and thumb.
No word if it will fit over my wristguards.
Suggested retail price will be $495 USD. According to Swany, look for it around the holiday season.
Here’s a picture of the glov. Cooool.
