What is the best mp3 player to ski with?

I need an mp3 that:
* Is tiny
* Is a flash player
* Is very durable, or has an easily-obtained, cheap case that works really well.
* Has sticking-out previous/skip buttons that can be easily operated while wearing gloves.
* Does not have a touchpad, because they are difficult to operate with gloves
I don't need anything more than one gig, i will only be putting like 80 songs MAX on it.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

When my G10 Mx audio helmet gets here I'm gonan just rock my 07 Shuffle, I'll only put good songs on it so I'll never need to change it. Shuffles are super small, light, durable, and all around just good mp3 players.

There's this RCA 512mb flash mp3 player you can find for under 50$ most places online, it fits the bill.

the old iPods used to come with another hole at the top next to the headphone jack, and you coulbuy this accesory that was a cord, and it was connected to a clip that had buttons to turn the volume down/up to change the song, and to play/pause, but they dont have that for the new models

i have a sansa i bought for 70 bucks, it has been crushed multiple times by me falling on it or dropping it while skiing, tough little thing, pretty cheap, if it dies, no loss, oh and nice big buttons so i can operate it through my mitts

I just thought of this idea get an old mp3 player with buttons on the front and take a hot glue gun and make pretty big dabs on the buttons but don't get it on the buttons just on top and there ya go easier way to hit the buttons with gloves on probably won't work but what you gotta lose with a twenty dollar mp3?

You would be insane not to buy a Shuffle. 1gb= 250 songs, long rechargable battery life, don't notice it until you need it, and clean design and operation. A screen will just break on you, so what more could you want?
