If you’ve ever been skiing or snowboarding and felt the familiar vibrations of your cell phone, you no doubt were frustrated. Because as much as you would have liked to pick up the phone it wouldn’t have been possible without careening into something, losing a pole, of something else equally as dangerous.

But with the g.cell glove by Swany, you can answer calls while on the slopes without a problem. This Bluetooth adaptable cell phone works wirelessly and acts as a ski and snowboard glove. So, your hands stay toasty and you can chat it up. What more could you want?

Features as detailed on the company’s website include:

• Incoming calls detected by vibrating wrist action — push on back of hand to receive call

• Recharger included — phone will last for 12 hours on standby; 4 hours talk time

• Insulated water-repellent outer shell for hours of warm dry use

• Speaker and microphone integrated into palm and thumb

• Call-out voice command dial system 

 
The glove will set you back $495. So what’s next? A coffee mug calculator?
