Change iPod tunes or tweak the volume without taking the electronics out of your pocket.

We like our music blocks--uninterrupted. That's tough to do without stopping and dropping your iPod out of your pocket but Burton's Audex iPod Hood Jacket has dialed in an easy fix. This waterproof and breathable snowboarding jacket features an exterior Audex iPod RF (radio frequency--good for 100 feet)) remote that allows you to change tracks adjust the volume or pause the tunes on your Generation 3 iPod (that's iPod Video iPod Photo and iPod Nano models) without opening a pocket or removing your gloves or mittens. You can also remove the remote and use it in your car or SUV too. The rest of the Hood includes a waterproof and slightly breathable Storm-Lite 3.0-E shell fabric that's excellent for cold climates especially in dry snow conditions. Inside you'll find fully taped seams for enhanced weather protection and lightweight 40-gm. Thermocore synthetic insulation. Unlike some Burton jackets the Hood lives up to its name with what Burton calls a "fulltime" Contour hood--that's one that is permanently attached. That's usually not a big deal but some guys don't like a hood flapping in the breeze if they're already wearing a ski or snowboard helmet. Beneath the sleeves you'll find mesh-lined Pit Zips that can be adjusted for cooling depending on how your feel. The Audex iPod Hood Jacket is a great choice for guys who insist on convenient access to the tunes that inspire their riding style.
