Burton Audex Jacket
£380
Jake Burton Carpenter is credited as one of snowboarding's early pioneers, and as the founder and owner of Burton Snowboards, he's still heavily involved in the sport. His latest invention is a jacket that's laced with Motorola technology, allowing you to listen to music and make phone calls while you cut fresh powder. The Audex jacket features an iPod connector in the breast pocket and a Bluetooth link to your mobile phone. It also houses stereo headphones in the collar and a microphone on the zip, while everything is operated by a sleeve-mounted control panel.
When equipped with the battery pack and a full-size iPod, the Audex jacket is relatively bulky, and you certainly wouldn't want to fall on your chest while wearing it. The control panel doesn't feature the famous iPod Click Wheel, so creating playlists is a must if you have a large music collection. Having said that, the Burton Audex jacket was comfortable, hard-wearing and eminently fashionable, while boarding down the mountain listening to your favourite music is an exhilarating experience. -GC
