Its comes to no surprise that a product such as this receives very little attention, but is shocking that something as innovative as this i’m just now discovering!

Most of us have obviously heard of Google’s new one of kind “Google Glass”. Contrary to what you may believe Google’s new technology might not be as innovative as you may initially thought. Reacon Instruments, a Canadian Technology company, is responsible for introducing the first Heads up Display (HUD) to the market, and yes (you read the tittle right) they have snowboarding goggles with this HUD technology built in, that was introduced back in 2010. Off-course if glasses are more your style they have those as well. All of which are made for sports athletes. However, as a snowboarder and action sports fanatic the goggles are what grabbed my attention.

These HUD snow goggles can do just about everything you can think of from performance metrics such as speed, altitude, and jump analytic’s to mobile connectivity. All of which are seen through a HD display screen as well as a projected 14 inch virtual image 5 feet away. There’s even something called “buddy tracking”, when Synced with your android or IOS smartphone, that uses a built in GPS to keep tabs on your friends. Huge perk, especially if you find yourself trying to keep up with your buddy’s on the slopes or if your trying to stick together on the trails snowmobiling.

The customization's of these goggles are pretty amazing as well. You can either get the bundle kit or the MOD version (seen on the left). This MOD kit allows full customization and allows you to modify your Reacon ready goggles with the add-on. This is great because you’ll look normal on the slopes instead of some obnoxious rider with goofy glasses.
