Zeal Optics and Recon Instruments have teamed up to release the new Head Up Display equipped Transcend ski goggle in the fall. The design has already received the 2010-2011 ISPO Boardsports Award for the top product.
The goggles have integrated hardware to measure speed, altitude, vertical odometer, stopwatch/chronos mode, temperature, time, GPS derived coordinates. Data transfer as well as recharges can be accomplished through USB. It will be available in two lens options; SPX polarized and SPPX Polarized + Photochromatic.
While this is a ski goggle, the concept is pretty exciting if you consider the possibilities of integrating Recon’s GPS data to a goggle-based HUD.
Available Fall 2010 from www.reconinstruments.com and www.zealoptics.com.
