    • Bogner’s Solar-Powered Ski Suit from space

    By Paul Miller | December 5, 2007

    Filed under:

    No matter how often we humans fail at designing “futuristic” fashion that the real future inevitably disowns, it’s always fun to try. Bogner’s got a good thing going here, what with a few solar panels and myriad of LED lights embedded into the ski suit of the future, and since the suit was designed to help with Munich’s bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics, that gives us plenty of time to find the design perfectly detestable when the real future rolls around. The solar panels use thin film tech developed by OSRAM, with an output ratio of 55 lumen / watt. Even with that kind of efficiency, the moon must be pretty dang bright over there in Germany to power the suit as shown. Who knew?
