Italian outdoor specialists Bailo, a well established brand for high quality mountaineering and rescue apparel is adding state of the art running clothing by introducing the BTR Rocket jacket for men and women.

Combining high performance features with a Italian fashion flair and fit, the Bailo Trail Running (BTR) Rocket jacket will be the most advanced interactive jacket we have seen so far.

The light weight soft shell jacket is using QIO System’s advanced textile interface allowing a seamless, invisible integration of control elements without compromising the softness and lightness of the jacket.

The Bailo Rocket comes standard with an iPod controller but as it supports the QIO eSystem solution, customers will be able to order it with any of QIO System’s control electronics like Bluetooth module, AM/FM radio or Walkie-Talkie system.

Alternatively, anyone who buys the Rocket jacket can add later any of those functions as needed.

Other high end features of the Rocket jacket is the use of GORE-TEX® PACLITE® a extremely breathable and flexible fabric, reflective details for increased visibility in low light conditions and a transparent plastic insert on the cuff allowing the read a watch. These features radiate the sophistication and love for details Italian fashion design is famous for.

The Rocket jacket will be available in Spring 2009 and comes in the colors Grey, Black, Cobalt Blue and Red. Stay tuned and come back for more updates and price information.
