Imagine the fibers sewn into a roof top tent! I might re-think my loathing of wind when camping!

We have been looking at a fabric over the past 12 months that has built in USB capabilities i.e you can plug in your Ipod to it, connect speakers through it, or run light via the fabric. It's all very sexy but expensive. Sort of like Victoria's Secret but without the models.

Martyn, I assume there's an electrical store to regulate it to 5V,500mA? Is it the same material as listed?

It is not the same material as in the article, just an other example of high tech fibers.
