3. Armpocket
Whether you’re kayaking along the Russian River or schussing down the slopes of Heavenly, chances are your iPod might be supplying the soundtrack. One solution to carrying your iPod – or your iPhone, for that matter – is Armpocket, a nifty carrying case that comes in three sizes and straps securely to your arm. What’ll they think of next? The two larger models actually come with touch-screen windows to give you a full view of your control panels. The largest size is big enough to fit your cellie and car keys, but what kind of a techno-geek takes their car keys to the slopes? Ok, I’ll admit I do. But I don’t take my iPod when I go surfing … although if Armpocket produced a water-tight version it would be way cool to sit on my board waiting for a set and listen to Soundgarden or Jerry Cole or the Jesus and Mary Chain. Nevertheless, these durable, light-weight pouches are perfect for hiking, cycling and working out. Check out the line at www.Armpocket.com.
