As winter season approaches, boarders and skier rejoice, at Motorola and Burtons new collaboration; resulting in the Audex Padded Hat. Stylish, cushioned, warm, and tech wise; this hat co-developed by Motorola and R.E.D. of the Burton family- not only protects; but comes with built in Bluetooth wireless stereo headphones.

Beyond having flexible padding, a soft fleece lined headband and earpads, moisture wicking mesh top for warmth and dryness- the advanced beany allows for wireless control of calls or music with simple crank of headphone wheel, and stereo speakers have a pop out option for an alternate Audex DJ Headset change. Also built in is a wind resistant microphone, for those distracted enough to conference call on the lift.

The Audex Padded Hat runs in two colors (black or white) and sells for $179.95. Finally… I can listen to my iPod while shredding in Tahoe, and telephone to report ski conditions to those who bailed. Next report on goggles with PC LCD screens. Joke…
