A couple of months back, we featured a list of solar powered innovations that could facilitate you to lead an opulent lifestyle. One of the most interesting innovations we have seen lately is the solar powered outfits that have become the order of the day. Earlier, we have seen the Day-for-Night Solar Dress, Triumph’s Solar Swimsuit and the solar lingerie. This time, we have something for both sexes. Italian clothing manufacturer Ermenegildo Zegna, has joined hands with Interactive Wear, a firm that specializes in smart textile technology, to develop the world’s first ski jacket that gets its juice from solar energy. The Ermenegildo Zegna solar-powered ski jacket is able to recharge your mobile phone, iPod and other gadgets on the move. This Microtene jacket is water resistant and has integrated solar cells placed in neoprene collar, which converts sunlight into renewable power to charge your electronic gadgetry.

The best part is that you can take off the collar anytime, so you can use it to charge your gadgets even when you are back at home. The Ermenegildo Zegna solar-powered ski jacket retails for $1,350. If you are looking to go green and shout out that message to the world, this solar powered ski jacket is worth a pick and yes, it doesn’t even look that bad.
