searchbarred since this isn't super new but found nothing

personally i think this seems like the worst idea i have ever seen. we love a sport which can unfortunately lead to terrible injury and we deal with that looming threat every time we get on skis and i can see a major visual distraction ever present while on the mountain leading to bad things. i know zeal already did this but this seems way worse to me for some reason.

If it actually works like the video...then it could be pretty awesome! However I am kinda gunna doubt it works as well as they show, and it will probably be some rediculous amount of money. But I like how they made it capable of going into any goggle. Interested to see how much of your field of vision it takes up.

So I will stick to my normal goggles for now....but who knows....they could be awesome.

I like the idea of being able to take in and out but why are there games isnt skiing enough fun if you wanna play games go sit on your ass and play xbox. I feel like the russian full one mostly will be dangerous because of the snow balls and shit people wont be able to see and they will run into each other leave this fancy work to smith zeal scott oakley ect. I do like the portable idea tho

I don't even know where to start on that video hahaha. I mean they act like skiing/snowboarding sucks and this is the invention that will enrich the experience.

Also, even if this is kinda cool, how the hell can I fit those massive things under my helmet?!?!?!?

the only thing that looks appealing to me are the navigation maps (so long as they actually work) .. then again I actually like using maps to navigate and skiing semi-lost at times. The problem is that those goggles could get smashed up and they weigh double normal goggles.

We carried the Oakley Airwave at the shop I work at which has alot of this same shit and I played with it a bunch the shit is useless in a goggle. Anyone who asked about it said it was a dumbass idea after they looked at it and never ended up selling the 1 pair we had.
