Burton/Motorola Audex Jacket now shipping

Back in October Laurie blogged the forthcoming Burton + Motorola Audex Jacket, a high-end wireless and tech savvy snowboarding jacket that has a sleeve-mounted control panel for iPod and bluetooth phone integration. The hood even includes speakers and a microphone to complete the immersive riding, chatting and jamming experience.

It looks like the jacket is finally shipping to vendors, as various Burton retailers are reporting an estimated delivery of December 10th – just in time for the holidays. The jacket sells for $599 – anyone with one of these waiting for them under the tree this year is gonna be one lucky guy or gal.
