Ermenegildo Zegna solar powered ski jacket

With a, shall we say, less-than-generous tag price of $1,350, the ski jacket that doubles as a personal power plant isn’t for everyone: just your hardcore skiers. But if for you, skiing is a lifestyle, this might be the jacket you need.

Using solar technology, this jacket can charge up your gadgets – your iPhones, your iPods, you mobile phones – while you’re enjoying your skiing trip. No muss, no fuss – just energy gleamed from the white winter sun while you hit the slopes.

Of course, the question many people have, especially with the hefty price tag, is this: is it safe?

With Microtene material waterproofing the jacket, thereby protecting your gadgets – and you – you’ll still feel safe and comfortable even while powering your gadgets.

North Face Gargoyle Jacket

The Gargoyle Jacket is the ultimate in protection for the more amateur and casual skier and, heck, for skiers of any level. With a neck-protecting hood and totally sealed seams, the Gargoyle is the perfect complement to the perfect skier’s base layer – total sealed protection for the best in warmth and dryness. You want to be sure that you’re bringing yourself to the snow, not the snow to yourself.

So what’s so freaky and fun about it? Everything. Buddy lift clips, internal goggle pockets, an avalanche rescue reflector, dual-entry hand-warmer pockets, and internal pockets, you’ll be a regular warrior on the slopes.

One jacket powers your gadgets, the other powers your ski experience. What could be more freaky and fun for the passionate skier?

It’s easy to keep skiing a fun sport, but with a little ingenuity, you won’t have to look hard to find ways for it to be creative, too. If skiing is your passion, continue to bring energy and love to your passion by seeking out the new, the novel, and the unique: it will enhance your overall experience and you might just discover some new products and items you never otherwise would have known about.
