Vancouver based company Recon Instruments is brewing up something that is going to take the action sports goggle industry by storm. They are ready to blow all the competition out of the water with their revolutionary techno-filled goggle.

Wearable technology and sports is the newest ideal elevating performance, safety, training and fun, and Recon Instru-ments has the innovations and experience to lead the sporting world forward.”

All of this on show for your pleasure inside your goggle!

The goggles will also come with software designed to keep track of your statistics so that you can keep track of your PB’s on the slopes.

The goggles will retail between $350 and $450 and will be available in Autumn 2010 throughout popular and specialized retail, as well as online, shippable around the world from www.reconinstruments.com.
