Simply put, we make ways you you can wear your iPod  when you're exercising or training.  In other words, if you're active, we make your iPod clothes.

We've found that people want their “ActiveWear” and “Portable Media” integrated.  With our iPod hoodie - our iHood Hoodie - we've developed a way for you to control your iPod from the sleeve of your hoodie.  In the photo, our models demo our sleeve technology.

If you'd like to see how it works, here's a video showing how to use the zippered hoodie version of our iHood Hoodie.

LimbGear's iHood Hoodie was named one of 40 Cool Gadgets for a Hot Summer by PC World.

From Tyson Daniel:

After five years of doing only capital murder cases and with fourteen death cases behind me, it was time to go.

Death Penalty cases are enormously draining.  They are a most unpleasant affair from any perspective. It was not without its benefits though, since during the course of numerous long trips to a regional jail deep in the coalfields of western-southwestern Virginia, the wheels in my brain started turning like the wheels on my Subaru.

As one might imagine, the stress of defending those on trial for their lives is extraordinary.  Indeed, it is enough to make a relatively intelligent person think that starting an "accessory apparel/gear manufacturing” business – with no experience – is a completely logical thing to do.

In fairness to my colleagues at the Capital Defense Unit, as well as the local counsel with whom we worked, these were shared stresses.  I suppose each of us dealt with it in our own way. I certainly did.

For me, I knew – as I have always known because it was how I was raised – that I could do whatever I resolved to do. Of course, this mantra must be tempered with reason. Thus, as a relatively short guy with a 2” vertical leap, I will never be an Olympic high-jumper despite my resolve to try.  Starting a business and running it successfully, however, is not beyond my ken.

LimbGear® came shortly thereafter.

Flash forward three years. Yes, that’s right, three years, some painfully expensive lessons and more work than I would ever have imagined, and I am now a full-time WeighOut – LimbGear® team member. 

We are based out of – and are located in – the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center where we are stationed as a member company of the world-renowned VT KnowlegeWorks business acceleration center.

I’ve found my WeighOut.
