Koyono Outerwear and Shirts for iPod

Koyono has just announced its spring and summer line of outerwear — jackets and coats equipped with integrated iPod controls. These are primarily designed for those of you in the northern hemisphere as I have been wearing shorts and t-shirts for a month or two. Their spring and summer jackets integrate iPod control pads into the lapels of their jacket, enabling you to control your iPod without ever removing your player from it's pocket. Controls include volume, track change and power. Each of the jackets also includes water protection and pocketing for commuting or travel. Their whole apparel line are great commercial ubiquitous computing controls.

The BlackCoat-T LS shown above is designed to allow one to discreetly and safely transport your iPod or mobile discreetly and out of sight. Looks great and really the only solution for those of who seldom get the chance to wear jackets.

Prices range from $199 to $275 for the jackets. $27 for the long sleeve t-shirt. Buy direct from Koyono.

It's too hot to wear a long-sleeve shirt, but if you are spending extended periods of time out in the sun you might fry without it. The Mountain Hardwear Canyon Shirt is a tough, travel-ready nylon and polyester blend shirt with a UPF 30+ sun protection rating which offers some protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Soft rubber buttons, ventilated back, zippered chest pocket, and sleeve tabs round out what is a great shirt for traveling through-out Asia - long sleeve shirts help keep away our aggressive mosquitos. $65.00US at Altrec.

Royal Robbins Desert Pucker Shirt

As the intense heat is almost upon us it's time to look for casual clothes that will allow us to remain active and still retain some comfort. What the Royal Robbins Desert Pucker might lack in style it makes up for in clean design and a practical fabric. Yes it's polyester but it will keep you cool in summer. The "polynosic rayon/polyester blend" has a silk-like feel and a heat-thwarting seersucker texture. The shirt features a single welt pocket and a straight, vented hem that can be worn in or out. $44.00US at REI.

Brooks Brothers Non-Iron Dress Shirt

If I had my way we would all be wearing short and long sleeve comfortable tees everyday all day. But when traveling sometimes we want to eat in a nice restaurant or have to meet an old school business type who wears a three piece suit to bed. I've come to like the off-the shelf non-iron shirts from Brooks Brothers to help me fit in and keep me from lugging a 5lb iron around in my bag. I have no idea how these shirts work but they do work. They are 100% cotton (2-ply broadcloth) and remain virtually wrinkle free. Just throw them in the washer and dryer and they come out with all the creases in tact. My only complaint is that they tend to be a bit heavy for wear in the hot seasons. $75.00US.

Available online at Brooks Brothers.
