I must not have been the only one who thought most of the wearable electronics really weren't needed (the sales on many of them had drastically dropped),but with these latest wearables it seems like they are putting a little more thought into the practicality of the items. Levi's and Google teamed up to make a smart jacket which has technology woven into the fabric allowing the user to take phone calls,get directions and check the time by simply tapping their sleeve where a cuff link like button then transmits the information to their headphones. The jacket was designed with bicyclists in mind but would be good for several outdoor applications. It will go on sale later this year for $350 and is washable once you remove the cuff link which has a two day battery life.
