If you’ve ever been blinded by a sudden glint off a snowbank, you’ll appreciate Serengeti driving lenses, which automatically adjust to abrupt light changes so your eyes don’t have to. Ronan (top), $160; Sarca, $130; serengetieye- wear.com 2. COACH DRIVING GLOVES Handcrafted of imported napa leather and lined with cashmere, these signature mitts are today’s finest iteration of the traditional driving glove, for the last word in sensitivity and control at the helm. $178; coach.com 3. VALENTINE ONE RADAR LOCATOR Not only will this cunning little box save you from a speed-trap ticket up ahead, but thanks to its dual antennae (front and rear) it also senses police sneaking up from behind. Detecting both radar and laser guns, the V1 features advanced technology for eliminating annoying false alarms. $399; valentine1.com 4. SONY ERICSSON HCB-100 Ditch the Jetsons look with this diminutive visor-mounted Bluetooth speakerphone (it weighs just over three ounces) featuring state-of-the-art filtering technology so you don’t sound like you’re calling on a soup can attached to a string. $120; sonyericsson.com 5. JABRA JX10 Even if there’s still no such thing as a good headset, this one at least doesn’t scream rock-star wannabe. It’s unobtrusive enough to wear with eyeglasses (just an inch and a half long and less than half an ounce), the sound quality is superb, and it recharges via USB. $179; jabra.com 6. GARMIN NÜVI 660 Of course this compact unit will show you the way, with a bright, easy-to- navigate touch-screen display. But it will also facilitate hands-free phone calls, reserve a table for dinner, or even read you a book. About the only thing it won’t do is drive—good thing, because what would that leave for you? $799; garmin.com Comments (0)
