Description

Limited-edition black Burton Amp snowboarding jacket released in 2003 by Burton Snowboards and Apple Computer, the world’s first wearable electronic jacket with an integrated iPod control system. The Burton Amp, size XL, is a durable, waterproof GORE-TEX snowboarding jacket made exclusively for use with Apple’s 5GB, 10GB, or 20GB iPod, which allows riders, skiers, and other active users to control their music from right on the sleeve of their jacket without fumbling with zippers, gloves, or pockets. The Burton Amp jacket integrates the iPod control system into the jacket using SOFTswitch technology, which allows the iPod to be controlled through a soft, flexible control pad integrated directly in the arm of the Burton Amp jacket. Riders simply touch the control pad on the jacket sleeve to change songs or volume levels, while the iPod is held safely in the jacket’s chest pocket. Constructed with GORE-TEX three-layer fabric, the Burton Amp is waterproof, seam-taped, and machine washable. In fine, untested condition.

From the collection of a former Apple account executive.
