The Techwear Weblog

UK is very active in the wearable electronics field while Germany and Swiss are more into research and B2B applications. I see a growing number of UK readers at my weblog too.

Here is a short but great overview about companies from UK:

Fibretronic, based in North Yorkshire, has announced a brace of new launches, including the custom-designed iPod control system for the new RedWire DLX jeans to be launched by Levi's this Autumn. [picture left]

Burton Snowboards, meanwhile, has added Fibretronic's PTT (push to talk) technology to its Audex range of jackets and packs.

Read on with companies like: Bagir, Eleksen, G-Tech, Goodhope Bags, Zegna, Peratech and teh aquired Softswitch.
