Just cause a shirt or coat has a place to put an ipod in doesnt make it cool in ANY way. They look ugly anways.

These prices are crazy… all they offer is a few buttons it’s not as if any serious outdoors coat doesn’t have a mp3 player pocket these days.

I’ve got one of their AirGo jackets - it’s a well made and thought through jacket. Very light and looks good. Not sure though if I’d need to get one of these new ones with the built in controls, but their stuff looks better in real life!
