The SCOTTeVESTs Just Keep Gettin' Better!
Posted by Brad Adrian in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 AM
As you probably know, I LOVE my SCOTTeVESTs. In fact, I'm wearing one of them right now, mostly because it has more pockets than one person could ever need. Scott Jordan, the garment's developer and CEO of SCOTTeVEST LLC, has just announced a special new feature he's adding to some of his vests: solar power charging cells.
"ICP Solar Technologies Inc. (ICP), the world's largest developer of solar products for consumers, and SCOTTeVEST LLC (SeV), the leading Technology Enabled Clothing® (TEC) company, will unveil the first solar power jacket prototypes designed to allow wearers to carry, connect and charge their portable digital devices, at the 2004 International CES, January 8-11, Las Vegas.
"The ICP Global Solar division is integrating ICP’s flexible thin-film photovoltaic technologies (CIGS) in three models of SCOTTeVEST® jackets. These jackets will allow wearers to carry, connect and charge their portable digital devices in one convenient and fully integrated package. Strategically mounted CIGS panels are pre-wired, providing solar power to individual devices for power storage (charging) or immediate consumption."
SCOTTeVESTs have always incorporated special pockets, flaps and tunnels that allow users to carry electronic devices and easily hide all of the cables, cords and hands-free wires they use. By adding solar panels and an integrated power cell, wearers can now keep their devices charged as well. Pricing information isn't yet available, but if you know me, you know that I absolutely HAVE to get my hands on one of these!
What will Scott think of next?
