The Transcend GPS Goggle: If Google Made Goggles

It's about time the goggle stepped into the new millennium. For too long now, ski and snowboard goggles have been content with such mundanities as keeping the blinding glare of the snow from our delicate eyes, protecting our cheekbones from windburn, and preserving our neatly coiffed eyebrows. But now, at long last, the goggle has found it's true calling, with the introduction of GPS functionality, real-time statistics, and state-of-the-art sensors. The new high-tech Transcend Goggles are like an iPhone for your eyes. Without the phone. (An eyePod Touch? Google Goggles, perhaps?) Frankly, we're not really sure what to make of these beauties! Is this overkill for a so humble a piece of head-ware, or the future of snow sports; a must-have cranial accessory? What do you think?

Seems to me they would have been right at home here:

  2. Yeah, we were a bit skeptical at first, but got over that pretty quick! This is basically one step away from laser eyes. And who doesn't love laser eyes? Hopefully we'll have a chance to try them out at some point!
