Too Cool!!!

“(Santa Rosa, CA – October 20, 2003) The Marmot Project Team, the W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. Advance Development Group and the R&D department of Novatech Electro-Luminescent, Inc. of Chino, California, are collaborating in the development of a new, wearable technology concept garment named the Phenomenon EL. This advance concept garment features the latest development in safety and close proximity illumination for the wearer without any adverse weight penalty. Electroluminescent (EL) panels are strategically integrated into this Marmot waterproof/breathable all-weather GORE-TEX® XCR® performance shell concept garment to provide visibility and identification at great distance at night.

This is just too cool the jacket lights up! Just when you thought you had seen everything.”

“Oh great, just what we need in the backcountry, flourescent hikers...”

“I want one... OH please chili!!!”

“sounds cool LT...I should get one so I dont get lost....lol”

“Oops, fluorescent...”

“Wow. I wonder how much that will cost. I'll bet there's no on/off switch. That would really suck.”

“Look at it this way: You won't need a night-sight on your rifle...”

“Does a light have to shine on it (like the illuminite bike jackets) or does it just glow all by itself?”

“It looks pretty cool on the website. They have a picture of someone reading a map and their arms are glowing.”

“It is battery power.”

“Yeah bit, and neither would anybody else.


Twig, bioluminescence glows all by itself.”

“bioluminescence

Woah skull!! that hurt my head...

kinda like
antidisastablismentarinism does..lol”

“LtHiker, do you know what kind of batteries is uses as the power source?”

“I don't know. It seems like it'd only screw up your night vision. At least a headlamp directs a beam of light ahead of you and away from your eyes. I'd bet the refractering light from the jacket would only mess up how well you see in the dark.”

“It'd be good for finding your body at night though. Especially after the other hikers had strangled you and tossed you over a cliff...lol...”

“I agree Artex.”

“I forsee an increase in alien sightings in the backcountry...”

“I guess you'd just have to start burying them bitpusher.”

“I wonder if they'll make skivies out of it so you can find your #&%!$ on cold nights?”

“Don't know what size batteries. Marmot is just anouncing the technology.”

“VIOLIN!! LOL!”

“Oops, my bad. I meant elecroluminescence, not bioluminescence. Sorry snafu, I didn't mean to give you a headache.”

“They need to make a sock to cover you #&%!$ out of this stuff.

Great at parties!”

“Mine's big enough that I don't have that problem.”

“Careful, don't trip over my Johnson!”

“Hey, I was talking about my brain...”

“Yes yes!

You could wrap the reflective tent cord all around it too!”
