Bring your tunes with you
2007-10-09
You might go hiking to enjoy the calls of the birds and revel in the peace and quiet of the natural surroundings ... but that probably bores your teenager into a tantrum. The Skullcandy LINK Backpack can help you get the best of both worlds on your next family outing. The kid can strap on the pack to carry his lunch and sweatshirt and take advantage of the 60mm amplified speakers embedded in the upper straps. Plug in an iPod or cell phone and crank it up to entertain the whole forest or tune it low enough so Mom and Dad can still enjoy their nature time.
The pack is also available with a built-in water-tight container that holds 72 ounces. A straw-type device runs down one strap so you can drink on the go. Buy it at www.smarthome.com for $130.
