If you google "spyder interbike"

the first search result should be for a riptv segment that shows what the stuff is. Spyder, the ski clothing company, unveiled this at interbike this year and nsmb did the vid.

Very very cool stuff but would hate to think how much it will cost, Spyder clothing is expensive enough as it is.

sorry I can't link directly to the riptv segment
