Enough about booties and GPS display. What’s really important for the solo winter trainer is the music! Who can recommend a good water proof set up that isn’t phone based?

I don't know of any non-phone based music players anymore, much less waterproof.

I use a waterproof bluetooth headset called a Blue Ant Pump - I can take / make calls hands free, and whatever phone you use is safely in a sealed bag / case.

I got one of these a few years back and have never had an issue despite a few hulis.

I bought one of these last year and it has been in the drink at least a dozen times… pretty decent for 40 bucks.

I currently use my IPhone in a Lifeproof case (waterproof case with a buoyant Lifeproof ‘life jacket’) and waterproof Bluetooth headphones (cheap ones). But I also use an iPod Shuffle that I have in a waterproof case with waterproof headphones both made by ‘H2O Audio’ (you can look at their website or find them on Amazon).

2nd on the Waterproof iPod Shuffle. Mine's lasted 3 years so far. I just use cheap ($10) ear buds, that have been dunked in saltwater, not rinsed, and still refuse to die.
