Tech Tools: Saorbuga Sports Beanie

Hat has bluetooth speakers built in so you can keep your music with you

Irish company Saorbuga already has your winter headwear sorted with its bluetooth enabled beanie hat.

But what if you need something a little less wooly for the Irish spring/summer (we use that last term very loosely)?

Not everyone can carry off the headband look, let’s be honest, but the Saorbuga Sports Beanie could be a good replacement.

The hat is made from moisture wicking material that won’t overheat your head but will keep the wind off, and has the bluetooth speakers built in so you can keep your music with you, wirefree, as you run.

Controls are on a small panel on the hat.

The headphones aren't noise isolating, but it has the benefit of allowing you to hear traffic approaching etc while still filling your ears with your favourite run-inspiring music. saorbuga.com
