Tooks are cool new beanies and headbands featuring built-in, removable headphones. Tooks were born in the spirit of winter sports but can be used for just about any activity where people listen to music, such as biking, hiking, jogging, skiing or working out. Tooks also make great promotional items for businesses and are very popular as personal gifts (consider your Christmas shopping done!).
Tooks International was founded in Denver in 2005 and hit the market with the now-popular Tooks Classic, a 100-percent bulk acrylic beanie offered in six colors (black, gray, navy blue, brown, red and pink). Customer feedback resulted in the development of the Tooks Headband, introduced earlier this year. More styles are in the works for 2008.
Tooks feature compact-size, removable headphones that have been engineered for superior sound quality in a slim package design. The fact that they’re removable allows the headwear to be washed. The headphones are inserted into the inner layers of fabric (so they are hidden) and can be adjusted directly over a person’s ears. A small piece of Velcro keeps them in place once positioned. Unlike the earplug styles which block the ear completely, the Tooks headphones allow some ambient sound to still be heard, for example while skiing or at a football game.
