Wearable action sports audio system

摘要

A garment may be built with a compartment in or adjacent to the neck collar to mount and immobilize a personal audio device, and provide for the routing of audio transducers and wires. The configuration of the mounting provides for an unobtrusive listening experience for the user, is readily removable to allow for garment cleansing and personal audio player maintenance, maximizes the potential for freedom-of-motion required in various sports-related activities, and addresses safety issues not accounted for in the prior art. The garment may also be equipped with a mechanism (such as a hook and loop closure) to capture and immobilize audio transducers and wires when not in use.
