The iThreeSixty beanie is a clear cut example of when style interrupts function. Not to say that it wouldn’t be sweet to show everyone your playlist while you are cruising down the mountain, but what happens when you want to change a song? Unless they can get it to skip to the next jam when you wink or twitch your nose, this hat may have to go back to the drawing board.
I love the idea though. Snowboarders (like me) and skiers alike always appreciate innovative new ways to integrate music. Check out more on the iThreeSixty beanie by following the links below.
