Having a phone with you on the slopes is great; it allows you to coordinate your runs with your group and allows you to enjoy some tunes at the same time. But trying to access your mobile while wearing winter gloves usually means taking them off. Β And even with a pair of conductive gloves you still need to subject your device to the elements with a less than stellar grip. Isnβt it about time a gadget was developed to solve this quandary? YodelUP is a wearable device designed to provide music and communication access to a Bluetooth-paired Android orΒ iOS device even when wearing winter gloves and mittens.Β The YodelUP is made for harsh winter conditions. Itβs a chunky, rugged device with big tactile buttons perfect for use with insulated gloves. ItΒ has a dedicated button for push-to-talk (PTT) communication using theΒ Zello service, and a 5 way pad for play/pause, volume up/down, and song forward/reverse. It also has a built-in microphone so itβs compatible with all headphones for Bluetooth communication by PTT or telephone.
This project will only be funded if at least $44168.80 US DollarsΒ is pledged byΒ Fri, Mar 25 2016. Visit the YodelUP Kickstarter pageΒ for more info!
