Oakley Thump 2

Thought i would change the subject a bit off the run down of top 10 snowboards, and move to something that can be used in all snow sports, along with all other snow sports.

No doubt most of you would have come across these, while flicking through mags or surfing the net. So here is a bit of information that maybe you hadn't thought about looking at. The first Thump series didn't really carry enough onboard space, and with no expansion slots it really wasn't worth it. I haven't been able to test the sound quality or anything for that matter, as i alread have an mp3 player and am not about to go by another one, so if Oakley would like to send me one to review properly then i would be more then happy to, but i can't see that happening.

Anyway to the info.
