...imbedded speakers, microphone and keypad that allow you to both talk on your mobile and listen to tunes on your iPod. The jacket is compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled phone, so pop your mobile into the internal insulated pocket (to prolong battery life) and use the microphone near the collar and the speakers in the hood to make your calls.
