Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Jacket with iPod controls

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I'm looking for a new jacket and would ideally like one with integrated ipod controls since I use it quite a lot whilst skiing. I know such a thing was available a few years ago but I can't seem to find any current jackets on the market. Does anyone know about any? Puzzled

Pretty sure Decathlon had a range of own brand (Wedze) iPod jackets. Their new season range is due any week but they still have some of last season's stock on sale at bargain prices.

what's the difference between having "integrated controls" and having a separate control that just clips wherever you need it? Unless you only ever wore one jacket, you'd need a separate one anyway.

That's a fair point pam w - thing is I do mainly wear one jacket and it is a neater solution. Still haven't managed to find a jacket currently for sale all the links etc seem to turn up old articles and products - and yes I had tried google before.
I'll have to keep an eye on the Decathlon range though.

Surfanic make one and the price was reasonable, specs are not bad either: i have one in brown and it works well enough with the sleeve mounted controls.

I know this is all the rage (ie having music belting out whilst skiing or boarding) but am I in the minority of snow users who think it is just downright dangerous?

I can't see how blasting your lugs via the largest (and stupidest looking) head phones and thus blocking out all sounds that you would otherwise hear around you while skiing can be at all safe.

Maybe I'm just speaking from the point of view of a skier who has nearly been hit twice at high speed by others who were so engrossed in their tunes that they were oblivious as to what/who was around them on the mountain...

I am a massive music fan (step forward Rammstein) but I can't see how it, snowsports and safety can sit comfortably together. Puzzled

Bergmeister, Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing I think I can safely say that in many, many, months of skiing in recent years I have yet to see anyone on the slope in large and stupid looking headphones. Stupid people are dangerous whether or not they're listening to music, and vice versa. I guarantee you could not tell, as you overtook me (or vice versa) whether or not I was listening to music.

dulcamara, I've had a Giro one for years and it's never been a problem in bad weather - so far so good.
