i haven't seen any pics yet... i'm sure they'll be floating around soon.
i think its a great idea... rossignol has a jacket very similiar to this out at the moment... only has phone support tho. i always ride with both my phone and my ipod... and as much as i have opening my pocket and answering my phone while riding down to a science... this would be much better.
but, on the other hand... there are plenty enough gorbies out there that have a hard enough time keeping it together on slopes as it is... this can only make it worse.

not a matter of good or bad. a matter of technological progression that is clearly inevitable.

It's Star Trek with syle. I think it's great for off the hill, but I like to keep it o'natural when shred'n the slopes, no distrations.

it's bad enough when you're waiting in line to pay for something and someone is jibber jabbin on thier cell, slowing things up, i'll be damned if i want to see that on the slopes.

I tried riding with my ipod and i didnt like it and i always leave the phone at home. New years resolution is turn my mobile off more. Intresteing technology though and as my coat gets as much wear in the city as it does on the slopes maybe it would have a use.

I think you've got better things to do when pulling a jump than change songs.

hahahahahha

Shut Up jevad. It's only 9:20am here and I am not going to take that kind of abuse from you this early...
But I am going boarding next weekend up in Wisconsin, it's nothing to brag about, but I've not been in about 5 years, and my GF and I are going. She's never been before. I'm so out of shape and board needs a tune up as well. I'm really looking forward to it as you can imagine!

Listening to music while fireing mad shit off is where it is at, however if you hold a phone call while doing it you are officially a cretin.

agreed
over here in teh states they have phones that work like walkie talkies so you getting turnips in the lift lines holding their phones like a handheld 2 way radio and shouting into it.
I never use my phone on teh mountian but it's good to have one if you get lost or injured....

jevad,
you need to get it, so you won't miss my call next time i'll be at vail!!

Of course jevadeee, I am a climber not a boarder and since mobile phones were released I have taken one when I remember, I listen to music when I am mountain biking aswell and it is brilliant if you hear a particularly groovy tune at a particularly groovy section of the run. Like sex I would imagine.
