High-tech clothing to help with everyday life

High-tech clothing to help with everyday life It may sound like a plot leak from the next James Bond movie or a low-budget costume change for Iron Man, but high-tech jackets have recently been used in Cheltenham to monitor and film troublemakers. The fluorescent jackets have been adopted by cab chiefs who keep order at cab ranks late at night and, thanks to alcohol, get more than their "share" of abuse and even violent assaults from the town's yobs.

With tiny CCTV cameras sewn into the official jackets, law enforcers can now monitor and record any troublemakers on the scene and even use the evidence in court if necessary. The cameras in the jackets, which were funded by the Cheltenham Community Safety Partnership, automatically switch between day and night modes and store everything on a built-in memory card. On a busy night, when as many as 4,000 revelers can pass through the cab ranks, any advantage the marshals have over the crowds can only be beneficial.

From sweaters that self-regulate body heat to Levi's Redwire DLX iPod jeans that have a built-in iPod docking station, smart clothing is on the rise as technology gets smaller. Although some of the smart clothing trends still seem a bit futuristic, many technological initiatives have already become big sellers. When Nike launched its innovative Nike+ iPod running shoe and accompanying sports kit in 2006, it was hailed as the rage among runners because it combined a highquality running shoe with the ability to sync music with running pace and monitor distance and calories burned while running.

When it comes to skiing, the Burton Audex iPod Field Jacket is just about the most advanced jacket you can find on the market, as it's not only a top-notch ski jacket, but also allows you to hit the slopes while switching to your favorite songs with just a touch of the built-in receiver. The perfect accessory to go with it might be the Groove Master Messenger Bag, which of course also has built-in speakers.

That's nothing compared to the W-41, this tech fashion t-shirt may look like a regular piece of clothing, but it carries a logo that, when photographed with a smartphone camera, connects the photographer to the wearer's social media pages. So if you want to point out your blog or establish your social media identity on the go, this could be the way of the future to do just that.

From solar-powered handbags that let you charge your phone on the go to jackets that alert mountain rescue if you get buried in an avalanche, technology in clothing is on the rise and aims to make our busy lives a little easier.
