The Koyono BlackCoat jacket was designed with iPod compatibility in mind - it comes with special pockets for gadgets, an iPod, and ElekTex fabric control pads to control your music. This puts the BlackCoat in the same class like ScotteVest. There are 4 versions - the BlackCoat Sport ($299), BlackCoat Work ($245), BlackCoat Work Premier Edition ($275), and the BlackCoat Surf Edition ($199). Both Sport and Work Premier Edition are waterproof, while the Work and Surf Edition use water repellant technology. Of course, there are other solutions in the market within the similar price range.
