iSoundCap? Ski Cap
Continuing in the long line of questionable iPod enabled clothes comes the iSoundCap™ Ski Cap. This 100% acrylic fiber hat has a little pocket in the back for you to slip your iPod nano into. There is a clear plastic window that lets you access the click wheel, and eyelets that allow you to snake the headphones through the hat.I can't imagine this being any more convenient than keeping the iPod in a coat pocket. Sure, if you are skiing down a mountain you won't want to fiddle with a pocket, but won't you be wearing big gloves anyway?
Ah well, I've never been skiing so clearly I am not in the target audience. The cap is expected to be available on the 18th of this month, though pricing has not been announced.

Listening to music while you ski or snowboard sounds like it would be fun but in reality, it's a really, really stupid thing to do and very dangerous for everyone else around you. You really want to be able to hear the snowblower as it crawls up behind you...

I'd rather go with a helmet with integrated speakers. http://www.geardirect.com/geardirect/ctl3981/cp20901/si1789144/cl1/giro_fuse_audio_series_helmet
When skiing at a non-wussy speed, almost any sort of ear buds just creates more resistance, so all one hears is the wind rushing by his ears. If anyone knows something that works I'd be up for hearing about it, even though chances are I'll stick with the helmet: one concussion is enough for anybody.

Umm.. if the ipod is on the outside of your hat won't it pretty much be operating at lower temps than the lowest temp it's rated for?
