If money’s no object because you can afford to spring for single-purpose sunglasses that have an MP3 player and stereo speakers built into the arms, then by all means, grab yourself a pair of Oakley’s updated Thump 2 sunglasses and ’board to a different beat.
For these bucks you can be darn sure Oakley didn’t skimp on the optics, which are of the high-impact, 100%-UV-filtering variety.
Oakley says the 1GB model holds 280 songs, and shuffling from one track to the next is merely a matter of tapping the soft buttons this way and that.
Not so easy when you’re fingers are staying warm in gloves, but then again, at these prices, you’ve probably got a personal valet riding shotgun to wipe your running nose and change tracks for you.
