GPS jacket is too extreme to actually use GPS

What's the point of snowboarding if you don't have stats to back up how extreme you are once you get off the mountain? Well, besides the chance to be outside, get exercise, and have a lot of fun. No, stats are clearly the most important aspect of snowboarding, and that's why the GPS Snowboarding Jacket is so necessary.

It's got an integrated display built into the sleeve, providing you with vital information like the time, your speed, your altitude, and how far you've traveled. No word on why it's called the GPS jacket when there's no mention of GPS capabilities and really, no reason to have GPS on a device meant to be used in one place at a time (i.e. a ski area). Oh well, I guess it's a catchy enough name. Gnarly, dude.
