Smith I/O Recon
While we love the idea of having a heads up display in your snowboarding goggle, the only current option is pretty bulky and a bit over-designed. Smith is changing that with their new collaboration with Recon to better implement their technology in their popular IO Goggle. The goggle will allow you to receive texts, emails, video, and weather conditions when connected with your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone. Link
