Indestructible Altec Lansing Speakers: for Travellers who are Rough on Things

Altec Lansing jacket Speakers

Altec Lansing, the world’s leading choice for dynamic audio systems, redefines portability and durability with its extensive range of outdoor speakers.

Perfect for the outdoorsy, adventurous music enthusiast, the Jacket range offers impeccable sound quality and durability that works with an active lifestyle.

I tested the Mini Life Jacket (pictured here) and the smaller Mini H20.

They’re both powerful, indestructible speakers but the advantage of the Mini Life Jacket ($149.95) versus the Mini H20 ($59.95), is a battery life of 10 hours compared to six hours for the Mini H20.

The Mini H20 is smaller and lighter and there’s also a medium-sized model called the Jacket H20 ($119.95).

All the speakers are:

  • #EverythingProof – shockproof and resistant to dust, sand, snow, water and dirt so they aren’t easily damaged – it won’t matter if a dog drags it into a snowdrift! Heck, they should even be kid proof;imw478-mini-lifejacket-1

    Might be handy to have with the ‘ol laptop when I feel like blasting tunes instead of putting on my headphones. Will have to looking into buying this soon!

      Hi Beth,

      They work well with a laptop. We used the speakers when watching movies and for a blast of sound :) They’re such great value for money, I’m sure you’d love them too.
