These Recon Instrument goggles are the new era in snowboard technology. To start the goggles have a LCD Display which is shown below your right eye. What does that mean? This means that the options for a dashboard are displayed 6 ft in front of your eyes below your vision. So viewing the options is similar to glancing down at the speedometer while driving a car. There are buttons to navigate the display located on the side of the goggles, which are glove friendly. You can choose from options such as your current speed (I love this), your altitude(so you know how much air you got), fastest run (no more lying), and you can drop a location marker which you can view later on a map (to locate secret spots later). These goggles also come with a GPS so you dont get lost, and polarized photochromic lens which become darker or lighter depending on the sunlight. When you are done boarding you can then plug your goggle into you computer and upload all this information, you can have maps of resorts you just rode, layout of all the tracks you were on and you can even create your own point of view videos (view video below). These goggles rock, and they are soon to hit the market in 2011.
