Remember the name Visijax, because the company has made a cycling jacket [2] that could save your life. The Commuter Jacket was presented at this year's Consumer Electronics Show [3] and comes with features that appeal to anyone who rides a bike: 23 high-intensity LED lights on the front and back of the jacket for visibility, and turn indicators that activate when you raise your arm.

The special Teflon fabric is waterproof and operates by touch thanks to a rechargeable USB lithium ion battery that lasts up to 30 hours. Buy it now [5] in yellow or black for $160. Here's what the yellow looks like up close.

If you're looking for a cheaper option, Visijax's Highlight Jacket [6] is available for $130 — it comes with 11 LEDs but does not include the signal feature.

Here's a video so you can see more of how it works. Stay safe out there!
