IPod Controlling gloves

seems like a good idea but every pair of gloves I've got from burton got fuckin soaked. seems like it'd fuck up the wiring and such but it's interesting.

So you're paying $160 to not have to take your ipod out of your pocket?

Assuming it works it's cheaper than an ipod touch. Useless for me though since I don't wanna bring my ipod touch or my droid skiing in case I break it. Might have to break out the old nano sometime though.

I love the concept of this, digging my ipod out of my jacket on the lift is definitely a pain- but paying that much? Not sure if I'm cool with that.

yeah it's pretty spendy. not planning on buying them just came across them and felt like sharing.

how about some gloves that work with a touch screen?

north face goloves on sale at sports authority, 49.99 by me

I use my nose so as to not take off my mitts and drop one off the lift. Sounds like I win

i am in your debt good sir

 

[blah..]

or you could take the extra second and take off your gloves.. if you're in an environment where that would be dangerous or possibly fatal, either:

A) you're climbing Mt. everest.

Or

B) you're a pussy.

And in both cases you don't need your iphone anyway.

BURTON TOUCHSCREEN LINER, get yourself one of these theyre are really great if your hands get cold for using them as liners but the touchscreen fingers actually work really well, one of my best 15$ ever spent

 

[yuck]

well yeah that and the gloves themselves

still overpriced. just man the fuck up and take your glove off for 5 seconds on the lift.
