Part 1

NYC/SLC

Technical wearables = buzzy biz-but some of that is just in awe of the possible-not the practical. NOT SO with Lumenus commuter coat, vest and messenger bag-which collectively paired with an intuitive-like app-smartly lights up see me LED lights in different colors at intersections, signaling turns, at stops...etc.

took 3 years to develop...on KICKSTARTER. Jeremy Wall-Co-Founder+CEO

look like regular ole' items including messenger style backpack, performance vest/jacket and commuter jacket (sizes XS-XL)= but these smart garments+bag LIGHT UP-turn signals, brake lights,intersection lights- made for all weather wear too---for runners, bikers, motorcyclists-movers...works with Google Maps.

Pictured-Commuter Jacket-some highlights-360º reflective collar and armband, logo pop and side reflective details and zipper,  integrated low energy Bluetooth, speed detecting, those LED lights automatically start flashing when it detects your are going through an intersection (WOW=Zero UI Intersecting Flash)-fyi the performance jacket has a hidden hood-fits helmets.


Speed detecting break lights...and fyi-select color of the LEDs you want to flash too...see the reflective back collar and arm, strips... IMPRESSIVE

We love this stretchy super softer-step through (slide-on) HIPSTER-a training park/belt that hits just below the waist -waistband with compartments that holds our gels, keys, iPhone 6+ (YES!!!) and lip stuff for those long bike rides...where that zip back pocket of our sleek fitting aero-wear jacket never is roomy enough for all the necessities for a long jaunt outdoors.
