Zanier GPS gloves let you Xplore without getting lost

The Zanier Xplore.XGX gloves must be one of the finest examples of stuff you don’t need, but would probably dearly love to have. With an embedded GPS tracking unit and a monochrome screen, these multifunctional finger warmers will guide you to and from the lodge, but the real fun kicks off when you hit the piste. Altitude, speed, duration and distance of your slaloms can all be recorded and then downloaded to your computer before being uploaded to the web. Is there anything more an exercise enthusiast (or an unashamed poser) needs? You get a Gore-Tex finish for enhanced grip on the sticks, and a few USB attachments to get connectivity up and running. Pricing has not yet been announced, but they’re part of Zanier’s 2010/11 line, so the wait shouldn’t be too long.
