An iPod. A BlackBerry. A GPS device. A Palm Pilot. A digital camera. These are exciting times for techies, but how do we carry all these electronic gadgets while traveling? Not in a clunky fanny pack. Clothing manufacturers have come up with a line of gadget-ready garments with pockets, straps and holders for every conceivable hand-held device.

This is a lightweight jacket with 33 pockets, removable sleeves and a hood. Magnets keep the pockets closed. But with 33 pockets, you might have a tough time remembering where you kept what.

The Featherweight Utility Jacket is a water-resistant zip-up with an elastic sleeve pocket to hold a Nano and a channel to guide the earphone wire to your ears. The jacket is lightweight and made of a polyester material that wicks away perspiration, a plus for runners. Best of all, the pocket puts the iPod on your sleeve where you can control it without having to dig into your pockets.

The BlackCoat Surf is a short-sleeve shirt-jacket of stretch cotton, treated to repel water. The stylish shirt has two outer pockets and two mesh zippered pockets inside. The coolest feature: Plug your iPod into a connector built into the inside pocket and operate it from a rubbery control pad on the lapel. Don’t forget to remove the electronic box that links your iPod to the control pad, before washing the shirt.Source: http://travel.latimes.com
