There's still plenty of winter left, which means there's more skiing and snowboarding to be done before hanging up the winter accessories for the season. That also means you're still at risk of getting lost as you head down the slopes for that final run, and that's where the X-Plore.XGX gloves come in.
Unlike any other winter gloves we've ever seen, the X-Plore.XGX come equipped with a GPS receiver inside. There's also a mini-LCD screen tacked onto the thumb and soft buttons baked into the back.
These aren't just for wandering snow bunnies, either. Skiers can check out their max speed, average speed, distance, altitude, and other handy info.
No word yet on price or availability.

When I first saw this, and thought back to the GPS camera I had just read, I thought for a moment that I was losing track of time and that it was actually April 1st.
But, then I as I thought about it, these actually make sense. It just doesn't hit you right off the line.

I'll try to make an excuse to buy a pair. As an avid Canadian skier, these seem just AWESOME.
CLICK.

I wonder how many injuries will come from this. At the time his gloves was showing he hit that tree at 70 mph.
