A peek ahead to CES 2015 with a jacket unlike any I've ever seen before.


The Visijax Commuter Jacket with turn signals has a total of 23 integrated high intensity LEDs. There are both front (white LEDs) and back (red LEDs), plus motion-activated, self-canceling turn indicators using Visijax’s IMASS® proprietary technology. The jackets use Dupont Teflon-coated rainproof and breathable fabric, all round ventilation. So you don’t have to fumble with controls Visijax offers the convenience of one-touch operation, powered by a USB rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which when charged can power the jacket for up to 30 hours. The company says that many customers turn on the front and back LEDs even when using the jacket during the day since it makes the wearer more visible in all traffic and all weather conditions. Their proprietary iMASS technology, with its amber flashing indicator lights, enables those around you to see when you are about to turn even when you have two hands on the handle bars. And the gentleman I spoke to an CES Unveiled said: “Just remove the battery pack” and the rest of the jacket, LEDs and all is washable. Price will be about $170. It’s already on AmazonUK, and it will be coming to the US soon.
